MoonSwatch

The Swatch MoonSwatch, sold as the Bioceramic MoonSwatch collection, is a quartz chronograph that Swatch created with Omega as a playful take on the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. Both brands belong to the Swatch Group. The first 11 models went on sale on 26 March 2022, each named for a mission to the Sun, the Moon, a planet or Pluto, and none was a limited edition.

The case borrows the Moonwatch's 42 mm diameter and its profile: a wide bevel along the lyre lugs, steps between bezel and case, and a tachymeter bezel with the dot over 90. The acrylic crystal carries a secret signature, and the watches came on a Velcro strap. Bioceramic, as Swatch describes it, is two-thirds ceramic and one-third bio-sourced material derived from castor oil, with a silky matte finish. Inside is the ETA G10.212 quartz movement, which is why the chronograph registers sit differently from the hand-wound Moonwatch's. Water resistance is 30 m.

The first 11 share the 42 mm, 13.25 mm case and differ in colour and detail. The grey Mission to the Moon (SO33M100), with its black dial, is the closest homage to the original. The Mission to Mars (SO33R100) puts the whole case in bright red as a tribute to the Speedmaster Alaska Project. The Mission to Saturn (SO33T100) shows the planet on its dial. The green Earth model (SO33G100) was launched as the Mission to Earth, and Swatch now sells it as the Mission on Earth. Others include the yellow Mission to the Sun (SO33J100), the pink Mission to Venus (SO33P100), the light-blue Mission to Uranus (SO33L100) and the dark-blue Mission to Neptune (SO33N100). Each battery cover carries a photorealistic painting of its planetary body.

Later releases include the Moonshine Gold models of 2023, mostly grey-cased with a gold-coated seconds hand, the Snoopy moon-phase Full Moon and New Moon of 2024, the Mission to Earthphase with moon- and Earth-phase discs, and the 1965 edition of 2025, whose counters refer to the year NASA qualified the Speedmaster for spaceflight.
