Get ready, watch fans, because Swatch has dropped another gem in their popular MoonSwatch series. This time, it’s the Mission to Earthphase with a touch of Moonshine Gold, and it’s packed with some really cool new features, including Snoopy and Woodstock.

A New Era for the MoonSwatch

The Moonwatch collection keeps getting better. The latest addition, the Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold, is set to land in Swatch stores on August 9th, 2025. This new model builds on the concept introduced early in 2024, now featuring both Moonphase and Earthphase complications. It’s a 42mm bioceramic watch with a deep navy blue finish, housing a crisp white opaline dial.

Key Takeaways

• New Complications: Features both Moonphase and Earthphase indicators.
• Moonshine Gold: One moon in the twin-moonphase display is finished with Omega’s proprietary Moonshine Gold.
• Snoopy & Woodstock: Snoopy and Woodstock are depicted on the lunar surface, referencing NASA’s use of Snoopy as a safety mascot.
• Hidden Message: A UV-activated ink reveals a quote from the Peanuts comic strip: “I beat everybody.”
• Improved Strap: Comes with a comfortable, navy rubber strap similar to the newer hybrid straps.

Design Details and Complications

At the 2 o’clock position, you’ll find a twin-moonphase display. One of the moons is coloured with Omega’s special Moonshine Gold, a PVD finish that gives it a subtle, paler yellow tone. This moon also has a net-like pattern, a nod to the sturgeon moon. The Earthphase indicator, located at 10 o’clock, shows Earth as seen from the moon, flipping the usual perspective.

What really makes this watch special is the hidden detail beneath the Earth phase. You can see Snoopy and Woodstock sitting on the moon’s surface. This is a fun reference to how NASA used Snoopy as a safety mascot. Plus, there’s a hidden message printed in UV-reactive ink near Snoopy. It says, “I beat everybody,” which is a quote from a famous Peanuts comic strip published on July 20th, 1969 – the very day of the moon landing!

Luminescence and Wearability

Like other MoonSwatch models, this one uses a quartz movement. The chronograph seconds hand, hour markers, and main hands are coated with Super Luminova, so they glow green in the dark. The Earthphase indicator and the hidden Snoopy message both glow blue under UV light, adding another layer of fun.

The watch comes with a navy rubber strap that matches the case. It’s a bit different from the stiffer straps on earlier models, feeling more like the comfortable hybrid rubber straps that are now sold separately for all previous Moonwatches. This new strap definitely makes the watch more comfortable to wear.

Availability and Your Thoughts

The MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold will be available only in select Swatch boutiques starting August 9th. It’s priced at €385. This latest release adds more visual detail, playful elements, and continues the story-telling through design that fans have come to expect from the Moonwatch line.
