The eagerly awaited Omega x Swatch Snoopy MoonSwatch has finally made its debut, bringing with it an array of exciting features for enthusiasts to explore. This latest addition to the MoonSwatch collection, dubbed the Mission to Moonphase, celebrates the allure of the moon with its all-white design, perfectly suited for fans of NASA and space exploration.
Arriving ahead of schedule, the Snoopy MoonSwatch showcases a meticulous attention to detail, including a moon-phase function that displays the various lunar phases on a subdial at 2 o’clock, accompanied by the beloved Peanuts character lounging against the celestial satellite. This innovative integration of a moon phase with a chronograph marks a significant milestone for Swatch, setting this model apart from its predecessors.
In keeping with Swatch’s tradition of incorporating hidden elements, Omega has embedded a quote from Snoopy’s comic strip within the watch’s design, visible under UV light amidst the moons and stars. Additionally, a whimsical touch awaits on the battery cover, where a cartoon moon bears Snoopy’s iconic paw print in the lunar dust, complemented by a “spacesuit-ready” Velcro strap—all in pristine white.
The enduring connection between Snoopy and Omega traces back to NASA’s Silver Snoopy award, underscoring the brand’s legacy in space exploration. Omega’s pivotal role during the Apollo 13 mission, which earned them the prestigious Silver Snoopy in 1970, serves as a testament to their commitment to flight safety and mission success.
Reflecting on the significance of the Snoopy MoonSwatch, watch specialist Tim Barber notes its inevitability, remarking that it was only a matter of time before Snoopy made his mark on the MoonSwatch collection. Indeed, the Mission to Moonphase promises to be a standout model, appealing to enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Scheduled for release on March 26, the Snoopy MoonSwatch will be available exclusively at selected Swatch boutiques, priced at approximately $310. Enthusiasts are advised that only one watch can be purchased per person, per day, and per Swatch store, ensuring that each owner can savor the experience of acquiring this lunar-inspired masterpiece. So mark your calendars and prepare to embark on an unforgettable journey with the Omega x Swatch Snoopy MoonSwatch—the ultimate fusion of innovation, nostalgia, and celestial charm.
