In 2025, four astronauts will be sent into orbit around the moon
The conquest of space is an adventure of humanity turned towards the unknown. Among the missions that embody this quest for exploration, the Artemis program, heir to Apollo, aims to establish a lunar base by 2027.
During Artemis II, four astronauts will be sent into lunar orbit aboard the Orion spacecraft. To celebrate this second mission, Mun is launching a new eponymous series composed of four automatic moon phases.
In celebration of the Artemis II mission and the upcoming lunar orbit by four astronauts around the moon, Mu:n projects inaugurates the new Orion series.
On a black-white dial dotted with blue, the White Edition celebrates the colors of the Orion spacecraft, the figurehead of the Artemis program and a new pioneer in the conquest of space.

IN THE COLORS OF THE ORION SHIP
ORION WHITEOrion White is dressed in the colors of the Orion ship, capsule of the Artemis space project. This model celebrates the cabin that will set foot on the lunar surface, with a satin white stepped dial.
The indexes at twelve, three and nine o'clock are made of cyan blue luminova paint which light up when night falls.
A DIAL ON TWO FLOORS
AN ODE TO ORION'S TRAJECTORYThe dial is composed of three separate pieces, nested on two levels. The central moon is located on a third level, under the central dial, thus reinforcing the depth of this stepped architecture.
The upper part of the dial, smooth and matte, evokes the hull of Orion. In contrast, the lower part, finely grained and satin-finished, subtly recalls the lunar soil. On the latter, the graduation is made in "diamond cut", in order to bring relief and accentuate its readability.
WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE MOON
The Moon, fully luminescent (BGW9), is built on a realistic representation of the star. A femto laser, precise to the micron and at a frequency of 10⁻¹⁵ seconds, is used to dig and burn the material at different intensities. Each crater is revealed and turns brown, with a relief perceptible to the naked eye.
This innovative printing method is a first in the watchmaking sector. It was developed in collaboration with the miniaturization workshop AJS Production , which was awarded at the EPHJ trade fair in 2016 in Geneva.
SEMI-FLOATING APPLIED SUPER-LUMINOVA® INDICES
The indexes and hands feature Super-Luminova. Introduced in 1993, this photoluminescent pigment captures light and restores it in the dark. The Orion series thus lights up at night and maintains optimal readability in the dark.The appliques, with straight curves, break up the rounded shapes of the graduation one by one. Semi-flying, they overhang the lower part in the direction of the central moon.
10.6MM REFINED CASE
A double domed sapphire crystal on a stainless steel case.The case draws inspiration from the sleek lines of the Orion spacecraft, seamlessly blending curves with flat surfaces in a refined interplay of brushed, grained, and polished finishes. The upper bezel features a double-domed sapphire crystal, whose symmetrical curvature, reminiscent of a porthole, enhances the sense of depth without distorting the view.
SWISS WATCHMAKING EXCELLENCE
The model is equipped with the SW288-1a caliber, from the Sellita manufactures. As a standard of Swiss watchmaking excellence, it features a rapid day/night correction, a day calendar and a moon phase complication.The caliber is offered in an elaborate setting, at +/-7 seconds per day, controlled in Switzerland at the PH Saner workshop.
