Bringing Out The Popcorn With The MoonSwatch Mission To Earthphase
I had to look twice at this new MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold edition, but it’s a new iteration of the watch introduced last month. In August, for the Sturgeon Moon, the MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold had a net-like design on the gold moon disc. This month, it’ll be a Corn Moon on Monday the 8th, and Swatch has decorated the moon disc with a popcorn box.

This watch will only be available on September 8th at select Swatch boutiques worldwide. Last month, it led to long queues, and the demand for this blue MoonSwatch Snoopy-themed edition with Moonshine Gold moon discs seemed to be very high. Our article on last month’s Swatch featured the backstory on Snoopy and the Moon(S)watch. On the dial, you can find Snoopy and his friend Woodstock again, and all other design elements and specifications remain unchanged on this new edition.
A monthly MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase?
It took me by surprise that in the queues in front of the Swatch boutiques were so long in August. One of my friends was there for hours with his son to acquire the blue MoonSwatch with Moonshine moon discs. I like this new blue MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase with Moonshine Gold elements. However, I was under the impression it would be just one run of this specific model. In 2023, after Swatch introduced the MoonSwatch with a Moonshine Gold hand, a new iteration followed every month that year. Will we see a new blue MoonSwatch with Snoopy and Woodstock every month for the rest of the year? Who knows?! Those who missed out on the first one get a second chance, though.
Available on September 8th
As mentioned, the MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold will be available (only) on Monday, September 8th in select Swatch stores worldwide. The retail price is CHF 350 / €385 / US$380. For more information, visit Swatch online.
