Imagination, like a popcorn kernel, under the right conditions can burst into something extraordinary. That is the philosophy at the heart of the Swatch x Omega Bioceramic Moonswatch Mission to Earthphase — Moonshine Gold Harvest Moon, and it is delivered with a wit, warmth and conceptual daring that makes this the most unexpectedly joyful and creatively audacious release in the entire Earthphase Moonshine Gold series.
Released exclusively on 8 September 2025 — the day after September's full moon, known variously as the Harvest Moon and the Corn Moon across different cultural traditions — the SO33N702L is the second release in the ongoing series of full moon celebrations that began with the Sturgeon Moon in August 2025. Where the Sturgeon Moon paid tribute to its namesake with a delicate net-like pattern, the Harvest Moon takes a completely unexpected turn — and the result is the most whimsical and boldly imaginative dial story in the entire Moonswatch lineup.
The navy deep blue Bioceramic case is rich, purposeful and immediately distinctive — constructed from Swatch's patented blend of two thirds ceramic with one third biosourced material derived from castor oil, delivering the matte, tactile finish that collectors have come to associate with the premium quality of the Bioceramic Moonswatch series. The navy palette references the deep, harvest-lit September sky in the most direct and atmospheric way — warm darkness surrounding a luminous full moon, the kind of night that has defined September across centuries of agricultural tradition. The navy rubber VELCRO strap completes the palette with an astronaut-cool finish that is both functional and fully consistent with the watch's celestial character.
The white opaline dial sits in quiet contrast to the navy case — clean, luminous and softly textured, with the fine circular grain pattern on the outer ring and recessed subdials providing the architectural depth that is characteristic of the entire Earthphase lineup. The Earthphase complication at 10 o'clock — Swatch and Omega's innovative reverse moon phase display, showing the Earth as seen from the Moon's surface rather than the conventional Moon as seen from Earth — rotates on its 29.5-day cycle, with UV-reactive oceans glowing a vivid blue in darkness. Beneath the Earthphase indicator, Snoopy and Woodstock appear in full space gear, gazing back at our planet — a hidden illustration revealed only under UV light and as warmly considered as every detail on this watch.
It is the moon phase disc at 2 o'clock where the Harvest Moon edition makes its defining and most extraordinary statement. Both full moons on the rotating disc are coated in Omega's proprietary Moonshine Gold — the warm, luminous 18-karat gold alloy used across the most prestigious Speedmaster references, maintaining its rich lustre far longer than standard yellow gold. One of those moons is rendered in the unmistakeable visual style of the world of Snoopy — playful, characterful and instantly beloved. The other is where Swatch's creative ambition becomes genuinely extraordinary — its surface reimagined as rows of golden kernels, with a classic popcorn box taking centre stage, the entire disc a miniature celebration of the Corn Moon's name and the boundless capacity of imagination to transform the ordinary into the spectacular.
It is a detail so unexpected, so precisely executed and so perfectly matched to its conceptual purpose that it reads not as a novelty but as a genuine piece of dial artistry — a tiny, golden popcorn box on the face of a Speedmaster-inspired Swiss watch, coated in Moonshine Gold, rotating with the Moon. There is no watch in any collection at any price that tells a story quite like this.
The asymmetrical case profile is lifted directly from the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch — sharp, clean and faithful — with the iconic tachymetric scaled bezel carrying the revered "dot over 90" detail throughout. The box-shaped biosourced glass carries the etched "S" at its centre, and the dual OMEGA x Swatch and Moonswatch logos sit alongside the iconic Speedmaster name on the white dial. Grade A Super-LumiNova on all hour markers, hands and the tip of the chronograph seconds hand provides a crisp green glow in the dark. The caseback features a custom Earth-inspired design exclusive to this model.
Available only on 8 September 2025 at selected Swatch stores worldwide — one day, one full moon, one golden popcorn box. Sold out within hours of opening.
