As their names suggest, the two non-limited timepieces, MISSION TO THE MOONPHASE - FULL MOON and MISSION TO THE MOONPHASE - NEW MOON, celebrate two moon phases with their monochromatic color scheme. In a Swatch first, these chronographs proudly feature a moon phase function adorned with Snoopy, who has been associated with human space missions since the 1960’s. A playful yet sophisticated nod to OMEGA's role in space exploration that blends timeless style with celestial beauty.
About Snoopy on the moon phase subdial
Snoopy has been associated with human space missions since the 1960’s. In fact, the Silver Snoopy Award is the most prestigious honor the United States’ space agency awards to individuals and organizations for outstanding achievements related to human flight safety or mission success. This prestigious prize was awarded to OMEGA in 1970 for its role in the history of space exploration, including its essential contribution to bringing the crew of Apollo 13 back home safe and sound. In a playful tribute, the courageous beagle is featured catching some zz's on the moon phase disc on both models.
NEW MOON
Referencing the new moon with its all-black color scheme, this model boasts a black moon phase indicator with a black semi-transparent mask. Just like the FULL MOON model, this watch features Snoopy catching some zz’s on the moon phase disc.
FULL MOON
Referencing the full moon with its all-white color scheme, this model is the first chronograph in Swatch history to feature a moon phase function, arguably the most poetic of all watch complications. In a playful twist, Snoopy who has been associated with human space missions since the 1960’s, adorns the moon phase subdial set at 2 o’clock.

A secret message
On the model’s moon phase mask and disc lies a celestial secret: a hidden quote from a Snoopy comic strip nestled amidst crescent moons and stars. When under ultraviolet light, the celestial scene comes to life casting a mesmerizing blue glow.
Moon Phase Indicator
As the Moon completes its orbit around Earth, it showcases a series of different shapes known as moon phases. In total, there are eight phases that we observe throughout the lunar cycle. Watches equipped with a moon phase indicator are designed to accurately depict these phases, adding a touch of celestial beauty to timekeeping.
