THE BIOCERAMIC MOONSWATCH MISSION TO THE
SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE CELEBRATES THE FIRST
SUPER BLUE MOON OF THE YEAR AND THE FESTIVE
ATMOSPHERE OF SUMMER.

 The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE is a double homage to summer. This new watch from the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection not only celebrates the festive and joyful atmosphere of sunny days back at the beach, but also highlights the full blue moon on August 19, the first super moon of the year.

Just like certain artists, Swatch will be having its own blue period during the month of August. After a day spent basking in the sun’s tender rays at the beach, sand still trapped between your toes, we’ll be there in the late afternoon to greet you at  selected Swatch sales locations to introduce you to this exceptional moon phase watch. The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE will be on sale only from August 1 to August 19 – the date of the full moon – and during the blue hours, from 5pm onward, exactly the time when we feel like winding down the day by sipping a drink.

The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE, not only features a chronograph function, but also has a multi-shade blue moon phase with UV ink, that is set against a dark celestial background and positioned at the 2 o’clock subdial. A blue pulsometer scale with white markers is found on the bioceramic bezel. All the other watches in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection sport a tachymeter function.

The pulsometer is a specific display found mainly on sports chronographs or counters. The pulsometer scale gives the wearer’s heart rate without them having to calculate it. Originally designed for doctors or nurses, this function lets the wearer determine their heart rate by stopping the chronograph hand after 15 or 30 beats and the dial will show their heart rate per minute.

The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE also features a panda dial. That means the silver-opaline dial has contrasting blue subdials. The watch has various shades of blue, ranging from light to dark.

Like all the models in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, the Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE is made from Swatch’s patented Bioceramic, a unique mix of two-thirds ceramic and one-third biosourced materials produced from castor oil.

This new watch has its mission statement on the back of the case and OMEGA X SWATCH logos on the dial and crown. A moon showcasing an array of blue shades can be seen on the battery cover. A spacesuit-ready blue VELCRO® strap adds that final touch of astronaut chic.

Fans will find in this new model various characteristic features of OMEGA’s legendary Speedmaster Moonwatch, the first watch to go to the moon, such as the asymmetrical case and the distinctive Speedmaster subdials.

OMEGA – Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M "Ultra Light" Titanium Chronometer

OMEGA – Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial 150M Master Chronometer "Ultra Light" Titanium 41mm - 2024

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This unique Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” is a tribute to Swedish pole vault legend Armand “Mondo” Duplantis. The Olympic Games champion wore the timepiece when he claimed gold and set a new World Record at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, clearing the bar at 6.25m. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

For Mondo, it was the ideal competition timepiece. Light, strong, and in the colours of his home country.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Crafted from sand-blasted Gamma Titanium, the 41 mm case is accompanied by a sand-blasted silicon nitride bezel ring.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

For the blue anodized dial, OMEGA has used sand-blasted Grade 5 titanium, and included an engraved horizontal stripe pattern. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Alongside the blackened indexes and hour-minute hands with Super-LumiNova, there is also a yellow varnished 3D laser-shaped cylindrical central seconds hand inspired by a Pole Vault.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The watch is presented on a blue and yellow integrated strap made from rubber and nylon fabric. Behind the sapphire crystal caseback, you’ll find the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8928 Ti – guaranteeing the industry’s highest standard of precision, performance, and magnetic-resistance. The entire watch is delivered inside a special presentation box.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

All the bridges and plates are in ceramicized titanium which, according to Omega, means “there’s less friction between the components.” Given the uncompromising use of low-friction, synthetic jewels for every important, high-friction fitting inside modern wristwatch movements, I am not sure at what point do the ceramicized titanium plates make a difference in reducing friction. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

On the upside of things, the Omega Caliber 8928 Titanium is a Master Chronometer, meaning it can resist magnetic fields as strong as 15,000 Gauss — and, of course, it comes with a co-axial escapement. Omega designed Caliber 8928 without an automatic winding system, most certainly to further reduce overall weight and heft.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The series-coupled, double-barrel movement offers 72 hours of power reserve and is displayed on the caseback of the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Ultra Light. 

Designed to resist glare from the sun, OMEGA's matte Aqua Terra finish makes bold use of yellow on the seconds hand, Seamaster logo, quarter-hour numerals and strap stitching. A range of colour options are also available.

Upon launch, the OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” Titanium Chronometer will be presented in its own box signed by champion “Armand Duplantis” and will take its place among OMEGA’s illustrious history of Olympic-themed collectible watches.

 THE BIOCERAMIC MOONSWATCH COLLECTION SHOWCASES EARTH FROM SPACE

Three new Swatch models — MISSION ON EARTH – LAVA, MISSION ON EARTH – POLAR LIGHTS, and MISSION ON EARTH – DESERT — pay tribute to the beauty of our planet.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

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.

“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.

The three new non-limited Bioceramic MoonSwatch models — MISSION ON EARTH – LAVA, – POLAR LIGHTS and – DESERT — pay tribute to our magnificent planet, inspired by volcanic lava, the Aurora Borealis and deserts, three natural phenomena, with their magical and enchanting beauty, that can be seen clearly from space. For these watches, Swatch has developed three brand-new colors in Bioceramic.

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.

Today, roughly 1,670 active volcanoes have been identified worldwide. Around sixty of them erupt each year, not including the many underwater volcanoes.

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 blue dial itself is studded with little “stars” of tiny silver-colored flakes, inspired by aventurine glass dials. This is another nod to certain OMEGA watches. The layout of the “stars” is different on every model, making the dial on each watch unique. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

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. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

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.

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.

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.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

MISSION ON EARTH – LAVA, – POLAR LIGHTS and – DESERT, like all the models in the OMEGA X SWATCH collaboration, are made from the Swatch’s patented Bioceramic, a unique mix of two-thirds ceramic, used in high-end watchmaking, and one-third biosourced materials produced from castor oil.

The three new Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION ON EARTH watches are available from Saturday, June 15, only in selected Swatch stores. As with the whole Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, only one watch can be purchased per person, per day and per Swatch store.

OMEGA – Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Chronograph Lacquered White Dial

 

OMEGA – Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph Lacquered White Dial 2024

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Already renowned as the most iconic chronograph on Earth, the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch is launched in its newest edition – this time with a lacquered white dial inspired by space exploration and the collection’s own famous heritage.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This captivating model has been hotly anticipated by Moonwatch fans since November 2023, when the very first edition was spotted on the wrist of OMEGA brand ambassador, Daniel Craig, at the Planet OMEGA Exhibition in New York. Now, the design is finally and officially revealed, and will be available for public sale.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The watch’s most distinctive feature is its rare white dial. When the original Speedmaster was first created in 1957, one of the main goals of the designers was to produce an easy-to-read display with superb legibility. 

 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Hence, the white hands and indexes on a black dial. On this new version, the opposite colourway has the same result. Not only has OMEGA produced this new dial in white with black detailing and new applied indexes, but the designers have also added a stand-out Speedmaster name in red, and given the entire surface a glossy lacquered finish – the first time this technique has ever been used on the Moonwatch’s step dial.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Why white? The primary inspiration for this new look is the white and black colours of astronaut spacesuits – especially those used during extravehicular activity (EVA), such as spacewalks. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

An authentic connection after all, as the Speedmaster Moonwatch has been officially worn by NASA astronauts since 1965 and is known as the first watch worn on the Moon. In addition, red lines have also featured on the suits since Apollo 13 in 1970 to signify the commander’s rank.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

There’s also another special reason to go white. In 1969, OMEGA created the ALASKA I prototype as part of their secret NASA project to design the perfect space watch. After months of experiments, OMEGA chose a white dial because it provides a particularly effective thermal reflection coefficient. The red Speedmaster name on the new model is also a nod to the protective red case that surrounded the original ALASKA I watch.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Beyond the white dial, OMEGA has even more to reveal in the watch’s craft. The 42 mm stainless steel timepiece is presented on a comfortable and vintage-inspired stainless steel bracelet with five arched links per row. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

A classic look with polished and brushed detailing. Two more versions are also available, including one on a black micro-perforated leather strap with red and white stitching, and another on an anti-bacterial rubber strap with a moon surface pattern in positive relief on the underside for increased comfort and aesthetics.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

For Moonwatch fans, the black anodized aluminium bezel of each timepiece has been given a famous “Dot over Ninety” on the tachymeter scale, while inside, the watch is driven by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 – the most up-to-date version of the legendary Calibre 321 that was trusted by astronauts on the moon.
