TWO YEARS AFTER THE LAUNCH of the epic Moonswatch collaboration by Omega and Swatch, a new non-limited watch has been added to this iconic collection: the Moonswatch Mission to Moonphase. Just like the Bioceramic MoonSwatch and Mission to Moonshine Gold models before it, this latest Moonswatch is equipped with the chronograph function. That said, rather than merely slapping a rendering of Snoopy on the dial and call it a day, the Moonswatch Mission to Moonphase also features a moon phase function, probably the most poetic of all watch complications. For the first time in its history, Swatch has combined a moon phase with a chronograph.
From Speedmaster To Moonswatch: The Watch Lover’s Snoopy Obsession Explained
Snoopy joined NASA in 1968 as a mascot for the Manned Flight Awareness programme (now the Space Flight Awareness programme), which was established in 1963. Since then, the beloved beagle is the only astronaut to have landed on the moon, travelled to the International Space Station, and blasted into orbit on the space shuttle. More recently, in 2022, he hitched a ride aboard the record-breaking flight of Artemis I, which travelled an astronomical 1.4 million miles.
Having already portrayed a daring Olympic skier, a rough-and-tough hockey player, and, of course, a valiant World War I flying ace, Snoopy was deemed as having “the right stuff” and he became the ideal mascot for boosting morale during a tumultuous period in 1967 after the Apollo 1 fire killed astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.
