Swatch X Omega MoonSwatch Mission to the Moonphase

Two years after the Omega X Swatch partnership debuted, the collection has been expanded with the introduction of a non-limited edition timepiece: the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Mission to the Moonphase. This new addition aligns with the 2022 Bioceramic MoonSwatch models that symbolize the planets and the eleven Mission to Moonshine Gold models, all of which included a chronograph function. What distinguishes the "Mission to the Moonphase" is its moon phase feature, enhancing its functionality. This watch is not a limited release but a permanent fixture in the collection.

The 42mm case with a thickness of 13.75mm is made out of the same bioceramic material as the previous collaboration between Swatch with Omega and Blancpain. This bioceramic composition blends a two-thirds portion of ceramica with a one-third portion of a substance obtained from castor oil. This synergy results in a resilient and lightweight material that presents a more eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastics.

On the flip-side is a matching bioceramic caseback, which just like the previous releases has a batter cap decorated with an image of this models theme, therefore its a moon with the footprint of a dog we can all assume belongs to Snoopy. Below that we can read the inscription text “MISSION TO THE MOON ”. Finally circling around the periphery of the caseback we can read “DREAM BIG - FLY HIGHER - EXPLORE THE UNIVERSE - REACH FOR THE PLANETS - ENJOY THE MISSION”. 
Mounted to the case is a tachymeter scale with the same font and dot over ninety, as you’d expect to see on a Speedmaster.It comes equipped with two push-pieces to operate the chronograph functions, and a screw-in crown. But, despite the near identical outer appearance this bioceramic case can only assure a water-resistance of 30 meters (98 feet).Time is exhibited on a white dial with hour index markers and a black printed minute track ring. It attempts to visually replicate the real “Moonwatch” and is quite close to the real thing despite the obvious differences in materials and value.It features the classic tri-compax layout with recessed sub-dials, where for this edition we find positioned at the two o'clock spot, a moon phase taking the place of the hour counter seen in other MoonSwatch variants. The disc for the moon phase showcases mirrored depictions of Snoopy lounging on a crescent moon.In terms of Swatch nods, they are visible on the top half, either printed beneath the Omega branding or within this collection's distinctive logo. This emblem features Omega's horseshoe motif, followed by an 'X' and the 'Swatch'. The central hour/minute hands and indices have all been treated with a green luminescent filling, for an enhanced legibility, plus they offer a nice contrast to the blue lume seen on the Snoopy moonphase sub-dial. The phrase “I can’t sleep without a night light!” is inscribed on the dial, only becoming visible in low light. To complement this, the crescent moons and stars are also adorned with luminous paint.
