The watch that will drive Swatch and Omega fans crazy: a dark and mysterious limited edition is coming

Omega and Swatch strike again with a new iteration of their successful collaboration. After the Mission to the Moonphase, here is the New Moon, an all-black version that promises to be a sensation among collectors and watch enthusiasts.

A bold design that plays on contrasts

The New Moon MoonSwatch stands out radically from its predecessor with its dark and mysterious aesthetic. While the Mission to the Moonphase had an immaculate look, this new edition is completely adorned in matte black:

  • Black Bioceramic case
  • Black dial
  • Black bracelet
  • This bold choice creates a striking contrast with the white version, while retaining the playful and offbeat spirit of the MoonSwatch collection.

    Details that make the difference

    Despite its monochrome appearance, the New Moon is not short of surprises:

  • Snoopy and Woodstock are still present, lying on the moon in the upper subdial
  • A secret message “I can't sleep without a night light!” appears in the darkness
  • The moon phase disc is integrated into the upper sub-dial
  • These playful elements bring a touch of fantasy to this watch with a resolutely modern look.

    A tribute to the legendary Speedmaster

    Like the previous models in the MoonSwatch collection, the New Moon is directly inspired by the iconic Omega Speedmaster, nicknamed โ€œMoonwatchโ€:

  • 42 mm diameter case
  • Overall design reminiscent of the Speedmaster
  • Adaptation of the layout of the sub-dials to integrate the moon phase indicator
  • This bold reinterpretation allows Swatch to pay homage to Omega's heritage while adding its own creative touch.

    A watch accessible to the general public

    True to the spirit of the Omega x Swatch collaboration, the New Moon MoonSwatch is intended to be affordable:

  • Sale price: $310 (around 285 euros)
  • Available from April 8th
  • Velcro strap included
  • This accessibility should allow many enthusiasts to afford a watch with a design inspired by a legendary luxury model.

    A predictable craze

    Given the phenomenal success of previous editions of the MoonSwatch, we can expect a real tidal wave for this New Moon:

  • Queues likely outside Swatch stores
  • Risk of rapid stock shortage
  • Potential collector's item for enthusiasts
  • Fans are therefore invited to be ready for launch day if they wish to get their hands on this exclusive model.

    The New Moon MoonSwatch promises to be an exciting new chapter in the collaboration between Omega and Swatch. Its bold design, playful details and affordable price make it a watch that will appeal to a wide audience, from seasoned collectors to watchmaking novices. This limited edition further demonstrates the ability of these two brands to reinvent the codes of watchmaking while paying tribute to their shared heritage.
