BIOCERAMIC MOONSWATCH
MISSION TO THE MOONPHASE
Referencing the full moon, this model boasts an all-white color scheme. It features a Bioceramic case, crown and pushers as well as a VELCRO© strap. The chronograph's seconds hand, subdial hands, and tachymeter-scaled bezel are in black. The subdials and bezel background are in white. This model stands out with its moon phase function, arguably the most poetic of all watch complications. Snoopy, NASA’s safety ambassador since the 1960s, is featured lying on the moon on the moon phase disc, which rotates in the subdial set at 2 o’clock. Under UV light, a hidden quote from a Snoopy comic strip nestled amidst crescent moons and stars, is revealed on the unique subdial. All dials carry the OMEGA X Swatch branding, the iconic Speedmaster logo and the MoonSwatch logo. The box-shaped biosourced glass construction, the etched "S" in the center of the glass referencing the Swatch logo, the fine and sophisticated circular pattern on the dial outer ring and the recessed subdials, the sharp and smooth lugs construction, the iconic “dot over 90” detail on the tachymeter-scaled Bioceramic bezel and of course the unique Bioceramic feel are common to all models. The indexes, hour and minute hands and the tip of the chronograph seconds hand sport Grade A Super-LumiNova® for a perfect glow in the dark.

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.

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 this model's moon phase disc.
