The horology circle is ticking into hype hour with the latest unveiling of the Omega x Swatch collaboration. The much-anticipated ‘Mission to Moonphase’, also known as the ‘Black Snoopy MoonSwatch’, has reignited the frenzy surrounding MoonSwatch watches. This new timepiece has enthusiasts caught in a whirlwind of excitement. The ‘Mission to Moonphase’ is not just another watch. It’s a celebration of the iconic Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, two years after the stellar convergence of Omega and Swatch. This model stands out with its moon phase function, which was dubbed by Swatch as “the most poetic of all watch complications”. Snoopy, NASA’s safety ambassador since the 1960s, is featured lying on the moon on the moon phase disc, which rotates in the subdial set at 2 o’clock. The new ‘Mission to the Moonphase – New Moon’ black MoonSwatch will be available from April 8. It will retail for the same price as the initial white release at $310 each. Swatch and OMEGA enthusiasts should mark their calendars because the Snoopy MoonSwatch is back in black.

Images: Omega Omega, the revered Swiss watchmaker, has just launched a captivating addition to its iconic Speedmaster collection: the Speedmaster Moonwatch with a lacquered white dial. This timepiece pays homage to Omega’s storied history in space exploration, drawing inspiration from astronaut spacesuits and the brand’s enduring connection with NASA. The watch boasts a 42 mm stainless-steel case housing the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 movement—an updated version of the Calibre 321 trusted by astronauts during lunar missions. While the original 1957 Speedmaster featured a black dial with white hands and indexes, the new Moonwatch flips the script. Its glossy lacquered white dial is paired with black detailing and applied indexes, creating a striking contrast. The red script “Speedmaster” beneath Omega’s logo adds a pop of color, reminiscent of the lines denoting a commander’s rank on spacesuits. The watch comes with a vintage-inspired stainless-steel bracelet, but enthusiasts can opt for a black micro-perforated leather strap with red and white stitching or an anti-bacterial rubber strap featuring a moon-surface pattern on the underside. The Moonwatch has a rich legacy—it was officially used by NASA astronauts since 1965 and famously became the first watch worn on the moon. The black-and-white color scheme evokes the spacesuits donned by astronauts during their historic missions. For those eager to own this celestial timepiece, the new Moonwatch comes with a starting price of $8,100. Whether you’re a space enthusiast or simply appreciate exceptional craftsmanship, the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch with its lacquered white dial awaits your exploration.
