Pretty in Pink: Meet the Latest MoonSwatch
This April, Swatch will be celebrating the annual appearance of the Pink Moon with the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase. The latest chapter in the success story of the joint collection of Swatch and Omega, the chronograph is housed in a pink bioceramic case and offers a moon-phase indication as well as a pulsometer scale placed on its bezel. Like its predecessors, the limited edition is full of subtle references to the original Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.
Typically found on sports chronographs, the pulsometer function is a specialized feature that allows wearers to easily measure their heart rate. To use it, the wearer starts the chronograph when they feel their pulse. After counting 30 beats, they stop the chronograph and use the pulsometer scale on the dial to determine their heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). In a playful touch, the push button at 2 o’clock has a small, embossed heart.
The dial reveals intricate details such as the grooved counters and beautiful pink hues. Apart from a chronograph function, this timepiece features a moon-phase indicator at its 2 o’clock subdial set against a black and silver-pink opaline subdial. The moon phase features two pink moons which glow pink in the dark as they rotate under the silver-pink opaline mask, thanks to their special Super-LumiNova coating. When subjected to UV light, a secret detail appears on the moon phase mask–the Pink Moon lettering.
Like all models in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, the quartz driven MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase is crafted from Bioceramic, Swatch’s innovative, patented mix of two-thirds ceramic and one-third biosourced materials produced from castor oil. The asymmetrical case measures 42 mm wide and is water-resistant to 100 meters. It is attached to a pink velcro strap.
From 1 April, this model will be available exclusively in selected Swatch stores for a limited time. If you want to get your hands on this unique timepiece, keep an eye on Swatch's social media channels, where the pink Rolling Planets will provide clues about availability.
Pricing is marked at $310.
