Imagine a Speedmaster… in glacier white , with unique laser-engraved snowflakes and two Moonshine Gold moons that glow in the dark. This is the Cold Moon : the most magical Moonswatch of 2025. Released at the same time as the black Beaver Moon, it sold out in stores within hours. Give it a unique look with a matching Moonswatch strap ! As someone who owns all the Moonphase watches, I can say it's my number one. Here's my review.

Moonswatch Cold Moon 2025: my full review after 2 months on my wrist ❄️🌕

It's been almost two months now that the Swatch × Omega Bioceramic Moonswatch "Mission to the Moonphase – Cold Moon" has been a constant presence on my wrist. I even bought a special Moonswatch rubber strap for it. Released at the same time as the Beaver Moon, it immediately generated a lot of buzz thanks to its white ceramic case, unique snowflake pattern, and two small moons in Moonshine Gold. Here's my ultra-detailed, no-nonsense review : design, comfort, straps, everyday use, strengths, minor flaws… I cover it all.

Why I caved (and not on the Beaver Moon)

When both models were released, I hesitated for 48 hours. The black Beaver Moon with its red hands is magnificent, but the Cold Moon has something magical about it:

• The pearly white that changes depending on the light (sometimes pure white, sometimes slightly pinkish)
• The ice-blue hands and hour markers are reminiscent of fresh snow.
• The laser-engraved snowflakes, all different, on the moon phase subdial
• The box base features the Earth as seen from the moon and the Moonshine Gold logo

In short, it screams "winter 2025" and is much brighter on the wrist than the black version. Verdict: ordered on launch day at 7:01 AM on swatch.com (and received 4 days later).

The original white Velcro strap: very good… but not perfect

The Cold Moon comes with a white Velcro strap and a brushed steel pin buckle, plus two keepers (one white, one ice blue). I quickly checked out the Moonswatch canvas straps , which seemed similar to the Velcro.

The pros:

• Ultra-light and extremely comfortable
• Millimeter adjustment
• Very "astronaut training" look
• Dries in 30 seconds after rain

THE - :

• White marks very easily (jeans, leather jacket, etc.).
• The Velcro attracts hair and dust
• A bit too casual for a suit or dress shirt.

The solution I adopted on day three : a 20mm FKM rubber strap from Collabswatch. I chose:

• Glacier blue with white topstitching → perfect match with the needles
• Black with blue stitching → for a more understated winter look
• Pure white → for next summer

Price: €45-55 each. Result: the watch transforms from a "sneaker" look to an "open shirt + blazer" look in 10 seconds. Changing the strap with the Omega x Swatch tools only took me 2 minutes. The video is very clear, thank you!

The Cold Moon: why this edition is truly special in 2025

Of all the Moonswatch Moonphase watches released to date, the Cold Moon is the one that has most impressed me, and I'm clearly not alone. Its name refers to the December full moon , the coldest and highest of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and Swatch has perfectly captured this wintry atmosphere: the slightly pearlescent white Bioceramic case, the glacier blue hands and hour markers, the opaline dial that reflects light like fresh snow, and above all, the laser-engraved snowflakes, each one unique on the subdial at 6 o'clock. It's the kind of detail you don't necessarily notice in photos, but which makes each watch truly different from the others. Add to that the two small moons in Moonshine Gold (Omega's secret gold that never tarnishes), and you get a watch that exudes a real winter magic , while remaining true to the fun and accessible spirit of the Swatch × Omega collaboration. For me, it's simply the most beautiful and poetic Moonswatch ever released.

Design & finish: even better in real life than in photos

• White Bioceramic case : 42 mm, but very thin (13 mm thick). Ultra-light feel (36 g without strap).
• Silver opaline dial with sunburst effect: it captures light in a hypnotic way.
• Green Super-LumiNova on the indices, hands and the two moons: one of the Moonswatches that shines best in the dark (up to 6-7 o'clock visible).
• Moon phase at 2 o'clock : two superimposed discs, the moons are in Moonshine Gold (18k gold which never tarnishes).
• Each snowflake is unique thanks to random laser engraving → no two Cold Moons are 100% identical.

Comfort and everyday use

Wrist 17.5 cm → the Cold Moon fits perfectly . I wear it 12 to 16 hours a day.

• Metro / bike / office
• Evening outings
• Sports weekends (no swimming, but rain and sweat are OK)

No redness, no discomfort. Bioceramic remains warm even when it's -5°C outside.

technical performance

• Precise quartz chronograph movement (±10 seconds/month in my experience)
• Decorative moon phase: advances one notch every ~2 days → correction in 10 seconds with the crown
• 3 bar water resistance = shower OK, rain OK, swimming pool NO
• Scratch resistance: after 2 months, zero visible micro-scratches on the white case

Cold Moon vs Beaver Moon vs Snoopy: the match

Winner for me: the Cold Moon → brighter, more original, more versatile.

Where can I buy it in 2025 without getting scammed?

• Physical Swatch store : arrive at opening time (often 1 person per store max)
• swatch.com : random restocking, newsletter subscription required
• Avoid Chrono24 and eBay for prices over €500

My verdict after 2 months

At €310 , the Cold Moon offers the best magic/price ratio in the entire history of the Swatch × Omega collaboration . It makes people smile on the street, it goes from jeans to a suit without a problem, it glows in the dark, it's ultra-light, and above all: I never get tired of it .

If you're still hesitating, go for it . This is the Moonswatch I would recommend first to a friend in 2025.
