Three new Bioceramic MoonSwatch watches have just landed. All throughout history, people have wondered what the world looks like from above. Every astronaut who’s ever been to space has said that the most beautiful sight they have ever seen was the Blue Planet.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
“When I first looked back at the Earth, standing on the moon, I cried,” said astronaut Alan Shepard who, in 1961, became the first American to go into space and, in 1971, the fifth man to walk on the moon.MISSION ON EARTH – LAVA
The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION ON EARTH – LAVA is inspired by volcanoes, openings in the Earth’s crust that allow lava, ash, and gas to escape. Lava is both dangerous and captivating, with its intense red and orange hues.

The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION ON EARTH – LAVA is also a nod to OMEGA and its 1968 Speedmaster Moonwatch “Ultraman” model, with its famous orange chronograph hand.
MISSION ON EARTH – POLAR LIGHTS
The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION ON EARTH – POLAR LIGHTS pays tribute to the fabulous Aurora Borealis.

Visible from space, and breathtakingly beautiful, these brilliant atmospheric wonders are characterized by extremely colorful “curtains” in the night sky, green and blue being the most common. That’s why turquoise dominates in this watch, reminiscent of the prodigious display of colors in the sky at the North Pole.

The numerals and indexes on the three subdials use the radial format, just like the Speedmaster in OMEGA’s Alaska II and III projects.MoonSwatch Mission on Earth
MISSION ON EARTH – DESERT
Both the case and hands of the Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION ON EARTH – DESERT come in a sand color, and the dial and strap come in greige (taupe), bringing to mind the vast expanses of sand that cover over a fifth of the Earth’s landmass and can be found on every continent.

The Sahara is the largest desert in the world, spanning over 9 million km² of North Africa. Its climate is very dry, with temperatures capable of reaching over 50°C in the daytime and dropping below freezing at night.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
The three new Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION ON EARTH watches all have their mission statement on the caseback and the OMEGA X SWATCH logos on the dial and crown.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
A design of planet Earth can be seen on each battery cover. An adjustable VELCRO® strap suitable for spacesuits, adds that finishing touch of astronaut chic and features a contrasting topstitching in the same color as the respective case.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
The hands and indexes are coated with Grade A Super-LumiNova® for a perfect glow in the dark effect. All the main features of the original OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch — the first watch to go to the moon — can be found on these watches: the asymmetrical case, the renowned tachymeter scale with the dot over 90, and the typical Speedmaster subdials. As with all Bioceramic MoonSwatch models, these new watches have a chronograph function.
