The small seconds dial at 6 o'clock, however, depicts Saturn, complete with its characteristic rings. Swatch chose a light beige for the case and dial of the Mission to Saturn MoonSwatch. The chronograph hands round off the watch nicely, and are a brownish red. The Mission on Earth MoonSwatch features the widest palette of colors in this collection: the case is an earthy green, the bezel and dial are navy blue, and the subdials are white. The Venus model also features oval-shaped subdials that have tiny ornamentation within their outer rings, giving this model an extra-playful feel compared to the others in the collection.

This ceramic blend is made of two-thirds ceramic, and one-third synthetic material derived from castor oil. As opposed to the Omega timepiece, the MoonSwatch's case is made of Swatch's proprietary BIOCERAMIC. Along with the Swatch and MoonSwatch logos, the dial also contains the Omega logo and the famous Speedmaster lettering. Some MoonSwatch design elements are taken from particularly sought-after Speedmaster models such as the " Ultraman" or "Alaska Project". ![]() You'll also find a tachymeter bezel with the "Dot over 90", as well as slightly stepped subdials that the MoonSwatch adopted from the famous Moonwatch. The aptly-named MoonSwatch has the exact dimensions and design of the original Omega, including "lyre" or twisted lugs, and a wider right case flank that serves to protect the crown and pushers. In the run up to this, the Swiss watch giant had partnered with its subsidiary Omega for a re-interpretation of one of history's most famous timepieces: the legendary Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, i.e., the first watch on the Moon.
