Speedmaster Snoopy For Everyone
Just before Watches and Wonders in March 2024, Swatch presented a very special new addition to the popular Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch collection, the Mission to the Moonphase.
As with the previous models, the dimensions and shape of the Mission to the Moonphase are identical to those of the original Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. The Speedmaster and MoonSwatch inscriptions and Omega x Swatch logo can also be found on the dial. The watch's bioceramic case, "Dot over 90" bezel, and Velcro strap are white, while the hands and lettering are black.
Once again, the watch is powered by a reliable quartz caliber.
A Moon Phase for Snoopy Fans
As the name conveys, the watch has a moon phase display. The complication is located at 2 o'clock and replaces the hour counter found on other MoonSwatch models. Swatch uses a double moon phase display that shows the position of the moon in the northern and southern hemispheres at the same time.
The highlight: the moon phase features Snoopy and his buddy Woodstock reclining on crescent moons. The display also includes the "Peanuts" quote "I can't sleep without a night light!" which is visible under UV light.
Snoopy has been the mascot of NASA since the 1960s, and has already appeared on three editions of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. These "Snoopy models" are extremely popular with Speedmaster fans and collectors. It's safe to assume that the MoonSwatch Snoopy is going to find a lot of fans very quickly.

How much does the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moonphase cost?
Swatch's official list price for the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moonphase is 310 USD – that's fifty dollars more than the MSRP of standard MoonSwatch models.
The Snoopy MoonSwatch Mission to the Moonphase is not a limited edition, but like all MoonSwatch models, it's only available in selected Swatch boutiques. Prices on the secondary market are already significantly higher since the official launch on March 26, 2024. Something similar happened with the launch of the original MoonSwatch, but prices stabilized after the initial hype. It's therefore safe to assume that the same will happen with the Mission to the Moonphase.
