The Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase arrives this April 1st, an inspired take on lunar watchmaking. This exceptional watch commemorates the annual Pink Moon phenomenon, a special full moon that lights up the April sky. Unlike previous lunar events celebrated by Swatch‘s unique MoonSwatch collections, this year’s Pink Moon is classified as a micromoon. A micromoon occurs when the full moon coincides with the farthest point of the moon from the Earth, making it appear smaller and dimmer.
But while the actual moon may be more subtle this April, the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase promises to make a bold visual impact. At first glance, the watch’s striking black and silver-pink opaline dial catches the eye. Its uniqueness derives from the moon-phase indicator, thoughtfully placed in the 2 o’clock subdial.
The moon phase complication features two beautifully detailed pink moons coated with Super-LumiNova®. This luminous coating allows the moons to glow softly in low-light conditions, creating a subtle yet attractive visual effect. In addition, when exposed to ultraviolet light, a hidden detail on the moon phase mask is revealed, adding a playful element to this fascinating timepiece.
Another fascinating aspect of the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase is its pulsometer bezel. Traditionally associated with classic sports chronographs, a pulsometer allows users to measure their heart rate quickly and accurately. To use this handy feature, simply start the chronograph when you feel a pulse, count thirty beats, and then stop the chronograph. The resulting reading on the pulsometer scale indicates your heart rate in beats per minute, adding a useful dimension to this stylish watch.
In keeping with the pulsometer’s functionality, Swatch has added a charming detail to the watch’s case: the push-button at 2 o’clock is subtly embossed with a heart, emphasizing the watch’s pulse-measuring function. This thoughtful touch enhances the personality of the timepiece, making it both functional and delightful.
The Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase is made from Swatch’s proprietary Bioceramic material. Known for its durability and sustainability, Bioceramic combines ceramics with bio-based materials derived from castor oil. This innovative combination results in a lightweight and durable watch case that is perfect for everyday wear.
Echoing the iconic design of Omega’s legendary Speedmaster Moonwatch, this new model retains the recognizable asymmetrical case and recessed subdials, paying homage to its distinguished heritage. Dual branding proudly appears on both the dial and the crown, clearly signifying the collaborative effort behind this watch.
The watch comes with a comfortable pink Velcro strap, reflecting the astronaut-inspired aesthetic. The battery cover on the back of the watch reveals a detailed lunar illustration, beautifully rendered in various shades of pink.
Fans hoping to get their hands on the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase are in for a bit of adventure. Swatch has announced that miniature versions of its famous Rolling Planet cars will mark select locations around the world where the watch will be made available. Enthusiasts are encouraged to follow Swatch’s social media accounts to find out where this limited edition timepiece can be found before it disappears like the Pink Moon itself.
To ensure fairness and availability, Swatch is limiting purchases of the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase to one watch per customer per day at each participating location. This approach ensures that more collectors and watch enthusiasts have the opportunity to own this unique model.
