Best MoonSwatch watches in 2026 ranked

The MoonSwatch is one of the most talked-about watch collaborations in recent years – a playful, affordable take on one of horology’s most famous designs. Created by Swatch in partnership with Omega, the Bioceramic MoonSwatch collection reimagines the legendary Speedmaster in a more colourful, more accessible form.

It brings Omega’s Moonwatch design language to a much wider audience, which is exactly why MoonSwatches have become so popular with both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers (we think it’s one of the best watches you can buy).

Whether you’re new to watches, looking for your first Swatch, or trying to pick the most interesting MoonSwatch to add to your collection, this article will help you choose the right one.

We’ll explain what makes each model special, and which ones stand out for design and collectability. By the end, you’ll know exactly which MoonSwatch suits your style and why these watches continue to dominate conversations among enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

How to choose the best MoonSwatch for you in 2026

The best MoonSwatch models in 2026 offer more variety than ever, with new complications, bolder colours, and creative limited releases expanding the collection far beyond the original planet-themed lineup. What began as a fun collaboration between Swatch and Omega has grown into a diverse family that includes moonphase displays, special materials like Moonshine Gold, and increasingly experimental launches.

For buyers, that means more choice – but also more decisions. From subtle, Speedmaster-like designs to playful, highly collectable limited editions, picking the right MoonSwatch now depends on your priorities, whether that’s wearability, rarity, or long-term appeal.

Design differences between top MoonSwatch models

Every MoonSwatch shares the same core Speedmaster-inspired case shape, but colour, dial layout, and details can dramatically change the personality of each model. Some, like Mission to the Moon, stay close to the classic Omega look, making them ideal if you want a more traditional aesthetic. Others lean into the playful side, with bright Bioceramic cases and contrasting subdials.

Newer releases with moonphase or earthphase complications add both visual interest and mechanical charm, making them especially appealing to collectors who already own the originals.

Sizing, wearability, and comfort

All MoonSwatch models use the same 42mm case size, but they wear lighter than a typical steel chronograph thanks to their Bioceramic construction. That makes them comfortable even on smaller wrists, and far easier to wear daily than their mechanical counterparts.

The stock Velcro straps reinforce the space theme, but swapping them for rubber, leather, or fabric alternatives can completely transform the feel.

MoonSwatch availability in 2026

In 2026, the MoonSwatch story is still evolving, although at a slightly slower pace than before. We’re still getting new releases, creative complications, and unusual launch strategies to keep collectors engaged.

Availability varies hugely depending on the model. Core versions are now relatively easy to find in Swatch boutiques (with some models even available online), but newer releases, Snoopy editions, and special Moonshine Gold variants remain harder to track down.

Swatch is also using increasingly experimental launch formats, including one-day drops and even weather-dependent availability, where watches are only sold when it’s snowing in Switzerland. 

This unpredictability is part of the appeal. Some models become instant collectables, while others quietly become future favourites.

If you’re trying to choose the best MoonSwatch, it’s worth balancing what you genuinely like with what might become harder to find later.

The best MoonSwatch models you can buy today:

1. MoonSwatch Mission to The Moonphase – Full Moon

Movement	Quartz chronograph with Moonphase indicator
Water resistance	3 bar (30 metres)
Diameter	42 mm
Case thickness	13.75 mm
Weight	29 g

Our favourite MoonSwatch is the Mission to The Moonphase – Full Moon. And yes, this is mostly because it’s got Snoopy on the dial. As well as being a lovable cartoon dog, Snoopy has ties to the NASA space programme, since the Silver Snoopy Award is given to astronauts who demonstrate an outstanding performance that leads to mission success. The Snoopy Award has also been recognised numerous times by special-edition Omega Speedmasters, so it’s fitting that the little guy gets to appear on a MoonSwatch too.

Setting it apart from other MoonSwatches is the moonphase complication, which features a lume-filled moon and stars that glow blue at night, along with the message, “I can’t sleep without a nightlight!”, from the Peanuts comic in which Snoopy stars.

We also like how the watch reminds us of the equally new (and equally scarce) white-dial Omega Speedmaster, while the all-white case and bezel opens up endless options for pairing the MoonSwatch with all manner of different straps, depending on your mood and outfit.

Although not strictly a limited-edition piece, this MoonSwatch is only available in a handful of Swatch stores at the time of writing. This could well change, and we hope it does because everyone deserves the right to pick up their own Snoopy Moonphase at retail price.

2. MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase

Movement	Quartz chronograph with moonphase and patented ‘Earthphase’
Water resistance	3 bar (30 metres)
Diameter	42 mm
Case thickness	13.75 mm
Weight	29 g

The most complicated MoonSwatch yet is also one of our favourites. Arriving in the autumn of 2024 and not a limited-run model – although it could only be found in select Swatch stores at launch – the Mission to Earthphase shakes up the MoonSwatch look with a grainy textured grey dial, a moon phase complication and a unique ‘earth phase’ function.

Patented by Swatch, the Earth phase complication features oceans coated in UV ink that glows blue under UV light; the idea is that’s how the Earth looks when viewed from the Moon. It turns in the opposite direction to the moon phase dial, but takes the same 29.5 days to complete one rotation. Meanwhile, the moons of the moon phase dial use Super-LumiNova to flow white at night.

Below these sit a small seconds dial, while the chronograph second hand is controlled via push buttons on the case, like all other MoonSwatches. The hour markers, hour and minute hands, as well as the tip of the chronograph seconds hand, are all coated with light grey Super-LumiNova that glows green. Turn this model around and you’ll find the Moon on the battery cover, along with the footprint of NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong.

The Mission to Earthphase has a 42 mm case with 3 bar of water resistance and comes with a black Velcro strap with contrasting light grey stitching. Priced at $325/£288 – a little more than most other models of MoonSwatch.

3. MoonSwatch Mission to The Super Blue Moonphase

Water resistance	3 bar (30 metres)
Diameter	42 mm
Case thickness	13.75 mm
Weight	29 g

As the old saying goes, the stars that shine twice as brightly, shine for half as long. We’ve no idea if that is true or not – ask Professor Brian Cox instead – but we do know that this particular MoonSwatch shone very briefly indeed. It was available to buy from select Swatch stores for just a few days, between 1 and 19 August 2024, in a move that celebrated the summer season and August’s blue moon.

It was priced at $310/£270, but due to its scarcity, second-hand prices have more than doubled. Although built just like any other Bioceramic MoonSwatch – and with a case colour similar to the widely available Mission to Neptune, the Mission to The Super Blue Moonphase stands out with its cream dial and blue moon phase complication.

It also stands apart from all other MoonSwatches because the tachymeter is replaced by a blue pulsometer scale with white markings. Originally designed for the healthcare profession, this scale lets the wearer measure a heart rate without having to calculate it. Simply find a pulse, then start the chronograph with the push button, count thirty heartbeats, and press again to stop, with the hand now pointing at the calculated heart rate.

Unlike the Mission to Neptune, the Super Blue Moonphase comes on a blue Velcro strap instead of black.

4. MoonSwatch Mission to The Moonphase – New Moon

Water resistance	3 bar (30 metres)
Diameter	42 mm
Case thickness	13.75 mm
Weight	29 g

New Moon is an all-black version of the white Snoopy MoonSwatch mentioned earlier. Arguably the stealthiest of all MoonSwatch models, the Mission to Moonphase – New Moon has a black case, dial, buttons, crown and strap, with black subdials too.

White markings throughout make for fantastic visibility, aided by glowing Super-LumiNova on the indexes, hour and minute hands, as well as the chronograph seconds hand.

As with the white model, cartoon dog Snoopy is shown lying on the two moons of the moon phase complication. Under UV light, a hidden quote from a Snoopy comic – “I can’t sleep without a night light!” glows bright blue among the stars of the moon phase dial.

This watch also stands out for having a white battery cover design to look like the moon, complete with Snoopy’s pawprint on the surface. Priced at $310/£270, this is not a limited-edition MoonSwatch, and is currently available (depending on stock levels) at most Swatch stores.

5. MoonSwatch Mission to Neptune

Movement	Quartz chronograph
Water resistance	3 bar (30 metres)
Diameter	42 mm
Case thickness	13.75 mm
Weight	29 g

Our first suggestion from the original MoonSwatch collection is the bright blue Mission to Neptune. This has the same case as the limited-run Mission to Super Blue Moonphase, but with a mid-blue dial that matches the tachymeter, and a black Velcro strap with blue Swatch logo.

As with other standard MoonSwatches, the Mission to Neptune has very similar dimensions to the Omega Speedmaster. Made from Bioceramic (essentially a form of plastic), the MoonSwatch has a trio of recessed subdials for the chronograph movement, the iconic ‘dot over 90’ design detail on the tachymeter scale, and glowing Super-LumiNova for nighttime visibility. The watch has a 42 mm case that is 13.25 mm thick and with 3 bar of water resistance. The quartz movement is powered by a coin cell battery.

As with the rest of the standard MoonSwatch collection, the Mission to Neptune is available in Swatch stores, but cannot be bought from the watch company’s website.

6. MoonSwatch Mission to Pluto

Movement	Quartz chronograph
Water resistance	3 bar (30 metres)
Diameter	42 mm
Case thickness	13.75 mm
Weight	29 g

We love the original, black Speedmaster. But what we also love about the MoonSwatch collection is how it injects some fun into the iconic watch with a broad palette of new colours – and how this opens the door for pairing the timepieces with different straps.

That’s why the Mission to Pluto has made our shortlist because the burgundy of its tachymeter and subdials looks fantastic when paired with a matching leather strap. Or, for a brighter look, try matching the watch with a creme strap that compliments the off-white dial instead. Either way, you’re onto a winner – and both options make for a good alternative to the grey Velcro strap included in the box.

We also like how the Omega and Swatch markings stand out against the pale dial of Mission to Pluto, and how the trio of colours are smartly framed by the light grey Bioceramic case.

Priced at $270/£240, the Mission to Pluto is widely available at Swatch stores.

7. MoonSwatch Mission to Jupiter

Movement	Quartz chronograph
Water resistance	3 bar (30 metres)
Diameter	42 mm
Case thickness	13.75 mm
Weight	29 g

Here’s another MoonSwatch that looks fantastic when you get creative with a replacement strap. Ditch the black Velcro option in favour of something that picks out the bright orange of the hands and the ‘Tachymetre’ inscription.

You could even go for a fully orange strap if you’re feeling bold, or try a more muted strap, perhaps in dark blue, with orange stitching. We’ve even seen straps that match the dial and case on the outside, but have bright orange stitching and a matching interior. Getting playful with strap colours is one of the great joys of MoonSwatch ownership.

The rest of this MoonSwatch is just like all the others, which means a 42 mm Bioceramic case, 3 bar of water resistance, a battery-powered quartz chronograph movement and a price of $270/£240.

8. MoonSwatch Mission to Mars

Movement	Quartz chronograph
Water resistance	3 bar (30 metres)
Diameter	42 mm
Case thickness	13.75 mm
Weight	29 g

The Mission to Mars is unusual because it’s part of the standard MoonSewatch collection, yet has close ties to a pair of very special Omega watches. Firstly, the playful spacecraft shape of the hands of the two upper subdials is a nod to the Omega Speedmaster Alaska II, a watch from the year 2000 that uses the same hand shape and was made to mark 30 years since NASA’s Alaska Project, a voyage to the dark side of the moon.

This Mission to Mars also harls back to the Speedmaster Alaska Project from 2008, thanks to its red and white colourway, and particularly the bright white strap with the red Swatch logo.

The bright red case is bold, even by MoonWatch standards, but as ever you can swap out the strap for something more subtle. Since this is part of the standard MoonWatch collection, Mission to Mars is priced at $270/£240 and stocked in most Swatch stores across the country.

9. MoonSwatch Mission to Uranus

Water resistance	3 bar (30 metres)
Diameter	42 mm
Case thickness	13.75 mm
Weight	29 g

When the MoonSwatch landed back in 2022 the watch world was still very much in love with Tiffany Blue. Everyone from Rolex to Christopher Ward brought out watches with dials close to the iconic blue/green hue. With the Mission to Uranus, it was Swatch’s turn to join the party – and as a result, this quickly became one of the most sought-after models, with prices booming on the secondhand market.

Now things have calmed down, you can pick up the $270/£240 Mission to Uranus from all the usual Swatch stores that stock the MoonSwatch collection. It’s arguably one of the boldest MoonSwatches around, thanks not only to the case and dial riffing on Tiffany Blue, but also how the white tachymeter and matching Velcro strap keep the brightness turned up to 11.

Consider a darker blue strap to tone things down a little, or fully embrace the original and go for a white leather or fabric number to keep the party going.

10. MoonSwatch Mission to Venus

Movement	Quartz chronograph
Water resistance	3 bar (30 metres)
Diameter	42 mm
Case thickness	13.75 mm
Weight	29 g

Finally, another big splash of colour in the form of the pink Mission to Venus. Apart from the very obvious colour of the case, bezel and hands, this MoonSwatch stands out from the rest of the collection thanks to the diamond-like detailing around the three subdials. Other details include a pink ‘S’ in the MoonSwatch logo, and a dial that is best described as a soft pinkish-peach colour.

A non-limited model available in a range of Swatch stores for $270/£240, the Mission to Venus has the same 42 mm Bioceramic case as all other variants and comes with a white Velcro strap.

As ever with the MoonSwatch range, the watch benefits massively from a strap swap; we recommend a darker pink to tone the watch down a little or lean right into the pink theme and go for a strap that matches the case. There are plenty of options out there to make this MoonSwatch your own.

Where and How to Buy a MoonSwatch, Including Rare Models

Finding and purchasing a MoonSwatch is easier now than ever, but limited editions and rare models still require some strategy.

Standard vs. limited editions

The original core collection is now widely available, and you can often walk into a Swatch boutique and buy popular models without the queues that defined the 2022 launch. These standard editions form the backbone of the MoonSwatch lineup and offer the best accessibility for most buyers.

Limited-run models, however, are a different story. Special releases like Moonshine Gold variants or certain moonphase editions were produced in smaller numbers and are no longer sold at retail, making them far harder to find and often significantly more expensive on the secondary market.

Where to buy a MoonSwatch

Swatch boutiques remain the primary place to buy a MoonSwatch, especially if you want access to newer or less common models. Some standard versions are available online in select regions, but availability is limited, and many of the most desirable editions never appear online at all. If you’re serious about buying one, visiting a physical store still gives you the best chance of finding interesting or newly released models.

Tips for scoring rare MoonSwatch models

If you’re hoping to buy a rarer MoonSwatch, timing and attention matter. Swatch often announces new releases with little warning, usually through its social media channels.

Turning up early on launch day can make all the difference, especially for highly anticipated models. It’s also worth checking multiple boutiques if you can, as stock varies by location. For discontinued pieces, the secondary market may be your only option, though prices can be significantly higher depending on demand.

This more mature phase of the MoonSwatch’s life means you no longer need luck just to buy one – but finding the most interesting or collectable examples still rewards those willing to pay attention.
