When it comes to Swatch, everyone’s first reaction must be that it is synonymous with fashion trends, but the “MISSION TO EARTHPHASE MOONSHINE GOLD” watch they launched this time is more than just a good-looking thing! The cultural and historical significance of space exploration behind it makes people want to take it to the moon right away! Want to know what’s unique about this watch and how it pays homage to Armstrong’s historic moment? Then read on!

Swatch MISSION TO EARTHPHASE MOONSHINE GOLD

Recently, the famous Swiss watch brand Swatch released a brand new co-branded watch, priced at RMB 2,950. The name of this watch is very poetic, called “MISSION TO EARTHPHASE MOONSHINE GOLD”, where MOONSHINE refers to American 18K gold, which is a very unique material in watches. The new watch launched by Swatch is not a limited edition, but each person is limited to one purchase, and the release date is August 9.

The most attractive thing about this watch is not only the MOONSHINE 18K gold case, but also its “terrestrial phase” display function. The design of this function is inspired by comics, because it uses very simple and clear graphics. There is a separate display panel at 10 o’clock, which shows the changing shape of the moon. Because the distance between the earth and the moon is too far, we can only use this method to simulate the “terrestrial phase” phenomenon. This cycle is 29.5 days.

This watch is not just a fashion item, it also carries the culture and history of space exploration. At this point, its collection value is far greater than its use value. In addition, the watch has a very thoughtful design. When we illuminate the watch with UV light, it will show the classic line “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” This is the same content as the previous watch with this function. This design is very thoughtful and very consistent with the spirit represented by the image of Snoopy.

The case of this watch is made of navy blue Bioceramic (plant ceramic) material. This material is a new case material that the Swatch brand innovatively combines bio-based materials with traditional ceramics. This is also the third watch in the MoonSwatch series with Snoopy elements.

The dial at 9 o’clock shows Snoopy and his good friend Woodstock in flight suits. They are sitting on the surface of the moon, looking up at the rising earth. This picture must be one of the most desirable travel destinations in many people’s minds.

of great commemorative significance

The most surprising thing about this watch is the historical significance it carries, because it pays tribute to the historical moment when Armstrong landed on the moon in 1969. This day is a milestone for mankind. For the first time we saw the surface of the moon with the naked eye, we knew for the first time that the earth was not the only one in the universe, and for the first time mankind took a small step to explore unknown areas. It also opened the door to space for us. These great events are still fresh in the memory of many people.

Although this watch only costs 2,950 yuan, the historical significance and space exploration culture it carries are unmatched by any luxury goods.

Conclusion

This watch is not only unique in design, but also conveys the great spirit of human exploration of space. At a price of 2,950 yuan, you get not only a fashionable item, but also a cultural symbol that carries history. Do you think this kind of watch is worth buying?
