Swatch is once again turning heads – and moons. Its newest Bioceramic MoonSwatch, the Beaver Moon, combines Moonshine Gold and a UV-glowing Earthphase that brings the night sky to your wrist.
This latest limited-edition addition to Swatch’s Bioceramic MoonSwatch lineup, the MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD Beaver Moon watch is available for a limited time only. It was released to coincide with November’s full moon, traditionally known as the Beaver Moon, and will be available only until the new moon on November 20th, 2025.
Fans of the MoonSwatch series will recognize the familiar design language, but this iteration stands apart with its playful yet thoughtful lunar details. The moon phase disc features a full moon that appears gently nibbled at the edge – a visual nod to the beaver’s reputation as a builder and wood-gnawer. This subtle touch captures the spirit of this seasonal release, connecting the celestial with the terrestrial in an understated, clever way.
Crafted from Swatch’s proprietary bioceramic blend – half ceramic and half bio-sourced material derived from castor oil – the case, crown, and pushers boast a deep navy blue hue that feels both space-inspired and grounded. Measuring 42 millimeters in diameter and 13.75 millimeters in thickness, the watch retains the asymmetrical case shape of Omega’s iconic Speedmaster Moonwatch. This nod continues through to the tachymeter scale on the bezel, complete with the signature dot over the 90.
The opaline white dial offers high contrast against the navy case, keeping legibility front and center. The subdials are recessed, and all the hour markers, as well as the hands for the hours, minutes, and chronograph seconds, are coated with green-emitting Super-LumiNova Grade A.
Swatch and Omega’s joint branding appears on the dial and crown. The case back features a mission statement, which is another subtle nod to the collaboration behind this collection.
What truly sets this model apart is the dual-phase complication. Swatch’s “Earth phase” display shows our planet against a starry backdrop. Oceans are rendered in UV-reactive ink that glows blue under ultraviolet light. The moon phase indicator uses a dark blue disc scattered with stars and two full moons plated in Omega’s proprietary Moonshine™ Gold. This warm, pale gold alloy was developed to resist fading over time. Both phases align with real astronomical cycles, adding genuine horological substance to the whimsical design.

A secret detail hides in plain sight and is visible only under UV light; additional markings glow blue, rewarding those who look closely. The navy rubber strap is fastened with a Velcro closure, a functional nod to vintage space gear that doesn’t lean too heavily into costume. A navy bioceramic loop keeper matches the case, maintaining visual cohesion.
Like all MoonSwatch releases tied to lunar cycles, availability is tightly controlled. The MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD Beaver Moon watch will be available for purchase globally on November 5th, 2025, at all Swatch stores that carry the full-moon Bioceramic MoonSwatch collection. Purchases are limited to one per person, per store, per day – a policy that has helped maintain scarcity and community engagement around these launches.
This isn’t Swatch’s first seasonal moon phase special edition. It follows earlier models themed around other full moon names, each blending folklore, astronomy, and watchmaking in an accessible way. What makes this one compelling is how it balances collectibility with wearability. At its core, it’s a functional, not fragile, quartz chronograph with 3-bar water resistance. Yet, thoughtful touches – from the bioceramic construction to the UV-reactive details – elevate it beyond a simple fashion object.
For watch enthusiasts who appreciate cross-brand collaborations, the Omega × Swatch partnership continues to deliver clever reinterpretations without veering into gimmickry. The Moonshine Gold application is restrained; only the moon discs receive the treatment. However, this restraint speaks volumes. It signals respect for Omega’s heritage while letting Swatch’s playful design ethos shine through.
Timing matters with this release. Those hoping to secure one must act between November 5th and November 20th, aligning their purchase with the actual lunar window the watch celebrates. This temporal limitation reinforces the idea that the watch is not just a product, but a moment captured in material form.
From November 5th through November 20th, 2025, you can purchase the MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD Beaver Moon watch from Swatch stores that stock the Bioceramic MoonSwatch full moon collection.
As with other MoonSwatch releases, the purchase restriction limits customers to one watch per person, per day, per boutique. Swatch has not announced the price, though previous Earthphase editions have typically aligned with standard MoonSwatch retail values.
