The Swatch x Omega Mission to Earthphase Watch ($325) is a timepiece that takes luxury watch enthusiasts on a cosmic journey, combining cutting-edge design with a celebration of space exploration. Inspired by the iconic view of Earth as seen from the Moon, this non-limited chronograph is a one-of-a-kind watch featuring both a moon phase and a patented earth phase indicator, making it truly unique in the world of luxury watches. With its thoughtful design details and cosmic inspiration, the Mission to Earthphase Watch stands as an extraordinary fusion of innovation and beauty.
The watch features a 42mm light grey Bioceramic case, complete with matching crown and pushers, giving it a sleek, contemporary look. The grey dial, with its grainy texture, evokes the stark beauty of the lunar surface, while the black VELCRO® strap with contrasting light grey topstitching and Bioceramic loop adds to its sporty yet sophisticated vibe. This timepiece is all about blending high-quality materials with standout design, creating a watch that’s as comfortable on the wrist as it is striking to look at.
What truly sets the Mission to Earthphase apart are its dual cosmic indicators. The moon phase subdial, located at the 2 o’clock position, features two oversized moons coated in Super-LumiNova®, which emit a white glow in the dark. The earth phase indicator, set at 10 o’clock, is equally impressive. The earth phase mirrors the beauty of our blue planet as seen from the Moon, and the oceans are coated with UV ink that glows blue under UV light—creating a mesmerizing effect reminiscent of the Earth’s oceans at night. This is the only watch that boasts an earth phase indicator, emphasizing its rarity and extraordinary craftsmanship.
Every detail of the Mission to Earthphase Watch is meticulously crafted to reflect both the wonders of space and the sophisticated design elements of the Omega and Swatch partnership. The tachymeter scale, featured on the black bezel, showcases sleek light grey markers, a newly developed colour that complements the overall aesthetic. The hour markers, hour and minute hands, and chronograph seconds hand are all coated in Grade A Super-LumiNova®, which glows green in the dark, enhancing legibility and adding to the watch’s cosmic allure.
The battery cover is adorned with an image of the Moon and Neil Armstrong’s iconic footprint—a subtle reminder of the spirit of exploration that drives us to discover new horizons. With its distinctive blend of cosmic wonder, fine craftsmanship, and luxurious design, the Swatch x Omega Mission to Earthphase Watch is an extraordinary timepiece that brings the magic of space exploration right to your wrist.
