What is the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Moonphase?

The Mission to Moonphase is a special edition within the MoonSwatch collaboration, featuring a genuine moonphase complication synced to the actual lunar cycle — a first at this price point. It builds on the original Bioceramic MoonSwatch concept launched in 2022.

How much does the MoonSwatch Mission to Moonphase cost?

The Mission to Moonphase retails at CHF 400 / approximately AED 1,600 at Swatch boutiques. Given the demand and relatively limited availability, secondary market prices in the UAE have ranged higher, particularly at launch.

Is the MoonSwatch Mission to Moonphase available in Dubai?

The Mission to Moonphase was released through Swatch boutiques in Dubai and across the UAE. As with earlier MoonSwatch drops, demand significantly exceeded supply, leading to queues and secondary market activity.

What makes the moonphase on the MoonSwatch special?

The moonphase display is linked to the real lunar cycle and calibrated to remain accurate for 122+ years before requiring a single-day correction. This level of astronomical precision is extraordinary at the MoonSwatch's price point.

Is the MoonSwatch Mission to Moonphase collectible?

Yes — like all MoonSwatch releases, the Moonphase edition is considered collectible. In the UAE's active pre-owned watch community, Mission to Moonphase models in original packaging hold value well above retail on secondary platforms.

Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Moonphase 2026

A Closer Look at the MoonSwatch Mission to the Super Blue Moonphase

Released earlier this year, the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moonphase set a new standard with its innovative moonphase display. This model, with its all-white aesthetic and corresponding strap, became an instant favourite among summer chronograph enthusiasts. However, some purists found the inclusion of Charles Schultz’s Snoopy, resting within the moonphase disc, a playful but non-traditional element.

For those who prefer a more classic take on the moonphase, the new Mission to the Super Blue Moonphase offers a visually striking alternative. This timepiece, which also offers a moonphase display at 2 o’clock, replaces Snoopy with a sophisticated multi-shade depiction of the Moon in UV ink against a rich blue backdrop.

Design and Craftsmanship

The Mission to the Super Blue Moonphase celebrates the full blue moon on August 19th, the first supermoon of 2024. Its design pays homage to this celestial event with a palette dominated by shades of blue. The silver-opaline dial, contrasted with blue subdials, creates the desirable “panda” look cherished by collectors. The Super-LumiNova hour indices stand out against the darker blue outer track, enhancing readability. Meanwhile, the white minute scale adds an extra layer of contrast.

The watch features a light blue Bioceramic case—an innovative material comprising two-thirds ceramic and one-third biosourced material derived from castor oil. The fixed dark-blue bezel diverges from the typical tachymeter scale. Instead, it features a white pulsometer scale. This vintage-inspired scale, graded to 30 pulsations, allows users to calculate heart rates. It harkens back to mid-20th-century chronographs.

Back and Strap Details

The reverse side of the watch showcases a depiction of the full blue moon on the battery cover. This is complemented by the “Mission to the Moon” inscription. The blue velcro strap is reminiscent of those worn by NASA astronauts to secure their Speedmasters. This adds an authentic touch. This detail draws inspiration from iconic Speedmasters such as the Blue Side of the Moon. It further connects the new MoonSwatch to Omega’s storied past.

Limited Edition and Availability

The MoonSwatch Mission to the Super Blue Moonphase promises to be a coveted addition to any collection. However, its availability is limited. Swatch has announced that the watch will be on sale exclusively from August 1st through August 19th, coinciding with the full moon dates. What’s more, it will be available only during the “blue hours” from 5 p.m. onwards. It will be sold in select Swatch boutiques. This limited availability is expected to drive significant demand, so enthusiasts should act quickly to secure this unique timepiece.

The MoonSwatch Mission to the Super Blue Moonphase is more than just a watch; it’s a celebration of innovation, sustainability, and celestial beauty.

Update, July 2026: What Actually Happened

The MISSION TO THE SUPER BLUE MOONPHASE sold out fast during its original August 2024 window, and two years on it has held up as one of the more genuinely collectible MoonSwatch drops. Retailed at $310/£265 for a strictly-timed 19-day release, it now regularly trades on the secondary market for $700–$1,400 — two to four times its original price on platforms like Chrono24, GOAT and eBay, making it one of the strongest performers in the whole MoonSwatch line. Swatch’s boutiques in the UAE, including outlets in The Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates, take part in the brand’s global MoonSwatch release calendar, so it’s worth following Swatch UAE’s own channels for the next limited drop rather than relying on resale prices alone.
