The BIOCERAMIC MOONSWATCH collection shows Earth as seen from space. *OMEGA x Swatch collaboration, three new Swatch models pay homage to the beauty of the earth. *
3 new Bioceramics
The MoonSwatch watch has landed. Since ancient times, people have imagined what the Earth would look like from above. Every astronaut who has been to space has said that the most beautiful sight they have ever seen was a blue planet.
“When I stood on the moon and looked at Earth for the first time, I burst into tears,” said the man who became the first American astronaut in 1961 and the fifth man to walk on the moon in 1971. This is Alan Shepard.
Three new non-limited Bioceramic MoonSwatch models, MISSION ON EARTH – *LAVA*, – *POLAR
LIGHTS* , and – * DESERT * –
pays homage to our magnificent planet, Earth. Volcanic lava, the Northern Lights, and deserts are three natural phenomena whose magical and enchanting beauty can be clearly seen from space. For this new model, Swatch has developed three new Bioceramic colors.
Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION ON EARTH – *LAVA*
is inspired by volcanoes, which are openings in the Earth’s crust that spew out lava, ash, and gas. Lava’s intense red and orange hues make it both dangerous and mesmerizing. Currently, approximately 1,670 active volcanoes have been confirmed around the world. Approximately 60 of these volcanoes erupt every year, including the many undersea volcanoes. Bioceramic
MoonSwatch MISSION ON EARTH – *LAVA* OMEGA, and the 1968 Speedmaster Moonwatch A homage to the “Ultraman” model, this model features an impressive orange chronograph hand.
Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION ON EARTH – *POLAR LIGHTS*
is a model that celebrates the beautiful aurora borealis. Visible from space, this breathtakingly vibrant atmospheric phenomenon casts a colorful “curtain” across the night sky, with green and blue being the most common colors. Therefore, this watch is primarily turquoise, reminiscent of the incredible beauty of the colors of the arctic skies. The blue dial is encrusted with small silver-colored sparkling “stardust” inspired by aventurine glass dials. This is also a subtle homage to OMEGA watches.
The layout of the “stardust” varies from model to model, making each watch face unique. The numbers and indexes on the three subdials are OMEGA’s Alaska
Like the Speedmaster II and Alaska III projects, it uses a radial format. Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION ON EARTH – * DESERT *
The case and hands are sand colored, and the dial and strap are greige (taupe). It covers more than a fifth of Earth’s land area and is reminiscent of the vast deserts found on every continent. The Sahara Desert is the world’s largest desert, spanning over 9 million km² in North Africa. The climate is very dry, with temperatures exceeding 50°C during the day and below freezing at night.
