CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD, is the new timepiece in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection available exclusively on August 9, the day of the full moon, at selected Swatch stores worldwide. Featuring Swatch’s latest earth phase innovation, a moon phase indicator adorned with OMEGA’s Moonshine™ Gold and illustrations from the world of Snoopy, this release is a reminder that imagination and daring to dream big, is the first step to going further than anyone thought possible.

An innovative complication introduced last year by Swatch, the earth phase shows how Earth appears when viewed from the Moon. Just like the moon phases, the earth phases follow a 29.5-day cycle, but in reverse. When there’s a full moon, we see a new earth, and when there’s a new moon, we glimpse a full earth. This inverse relationship causes the earth on the earth phase to move counterclockwise, opposite to the direction of the moon on the moon phase indicator. It’s a poetic reinterpretation of the retrograde function seen in certain high-end timepieces.

Beneath the earth phase indicator is an illustration of Snoopy, the beloved beagle and famous flying ace, joined by his ever-loyal friend and frequent co-pilot, Woodstock sitting on the Moon, marveling at the enchanting spectacle of Earth, the most beautiful planet of them all. The illustration features a phrase that appears only under UV light, a playful nod to the pioneering spirit of the Moonwatch, the first watch on the Moon, and a tribute to those who are the first to imagine things differently.

At the 2 o’clock subdial, MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD, boasts a moon phase indicator. Featuring two radiant full moons, one designed in the distinctive style of the world of Snoopy and both coated with OMEGA’s Moonshine™ Gold, this moon phase indicator is inspired by the Sturgeon Moon, the full moon set to appear during the month of this watch release. In a playful nod to the origins of the full moon’s name, one moon on the indicator is draped in a net-like pattern.
