Not all MoonSwatches are made equal. Some are simply just new colours, while others – like the new Swatch x Omega Bioceramic MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase replica watches for men – introduce new complications or designs. Indeed, this latest Swatch x Omega collab represents the most complicated MoonSwatch model yet, both literally in terms of complications but also its inspiration/theoretical use case.
Unlike some previous MoonSwatch releases, which have marked different times of the year or astronomical events (think the Mission to the Super Blue Moonphase which marked the full blue Moon or some of the Mission to Moonshine Gold released throughout 2023), the best UK fake Omega Mission to Earthphase watches has a more poetic inspiration: it imagines being used by astronauts on the Moon to track the phases of the Earth back home. Swatch claims it’s the only watch to ever feature an “earthphase” function (they’ve even got a patent for it), which can be found at 10 o’clock next to the moonphase at 2 o’clock.
As Swatch explains: “Both the Moon and the Earth take approximately 29.5 days to go through all their phases, but in reverse order. This means that, for instance, when we see a full Moon from Earth, an observer on the Moon would see a “new Earth,” and vice versa. This is also why the earth phase on [the] Mission to Earthphase turns in the opposite direction to the moon phase.”
What utility an earthphase indicator offers to the average wearer on planet Earth is questionable, but it’s certainly a point of differentiation, not just between other MoonSwatches but arguably all other top 1:1 Omega copy watches. It’s also kind of romantic: is to be used by an astronaut on the Moon looking back at the Earth? The depiction of the Earth on the earthphase itself is the only part of the perfect 2024 replica Omega watches UK imagined in colour, with the oceans on the Earth coated with UV ink that glows blue under UV light – helping it stand out even more.
Otherwise, the high quality fake Omega MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase watches features largely the same design as the Mission to Moonphase (a.k.a. the Snoopy MoonSwatch), although there’s no trace of Snoopy or hidden messages in UV ink to be found here. The luxury Omega Speedmaster replica watches features a monochromatic grey colour scheme, with a textured dial that resembles the lunar surface. A final note: some of our readers have pointed out that because the earthphase display takes the place of the 60-minute chronograph indicator, it reduces this MoonSwatch into simply a 60-second chronograph… An interesting design choice from Swatch.
