The MoonSwatch Mission To The Pink Moonphase Arrives This April
Swatch and Omega continue their successful collaboration with the release of the MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase, the 31st iteration in the series. This latest edition, launching on April 1st, is a vibrant and playful tribute to April’s micromoon, a phenomenon where the full moon appears smaller due to its position at the farthest point in its orbit around Earth.
A Unique Pink Design
The Mission to the Pink Moonphase stands out with its striking pink Bioceramic case, a bold addition to the MoonSwatch lineup. Complementing the case is a black and pink moonphase indicator on the dial. A subtle yet exciting detail is the application of Super-LumiNova on the two moons of the moonphase display, creating a captivating glow in low-light conditions. Additionally, when exposed to UV light, the words “Pink Moon” appear in pink, adding an extra layer of intrigue.
Hints of this release surfaced even before the official announcement, as Swatch Group CEO Nick Hayek was spotted wearing the watch during the company’s annual results press conference. This early appearance fueled speculation and anticipation among enthusiasts, making the official unveiling all the more exciting.
Pulsometer Bezel and a Heartfelt Detail
One of the defining elements of this edition is the pulsation scale on the bezel, a nod to vintage Speedmasters and the 2016 Speedmaster CK2998 Limited Edition. This scale allows the wearer to measure their heart rate, further reinforcing the connection to classic chronographs.
In addition to the pulsometer bezel, the watch features a moonphase complication, seamlessly integrated into the design. The moonphase disc can be adjusted with ease, ensuring precise tracking of the lunar cycle. A unique design feature exclusive to this model is the pink heart symbol on the pusher at 2 o’clock, tying into the pulsometer theme and emphasizing the watch’s attention to detail.
Availability and Pricing
The MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase will be available exclusively at selected Swatch boutiques worldwide starting April 1st. Priced at €315, this limited-edition release is expected to attract collectors and enthusiasts eager to own a creative and vibrant take on the MoonSwatch series.
With its playful aesthetic and celestial inspiration, the Mission to the Pink Moonphase is a striking addition to Swatch and Omega’s ongoing collaboration, celebrating both horological heritage and modern innovation.
