Swatch × Omega Earthphase Moonshine Gold Corn Moon: A Timeless Collaboration

The watch world buzzed on August 9 2025 when Swatch and Omega unveiled the Swatch × Omega Earthphase Moonshine Gold Corn Moon. This limited‑edition piece marries Swatch’s playful spirit with Omega’s legendary Earthphase technology, delivering a chronograph that feels both futuristic and rooted in horological tradition.

Design Inspiration and the “Corn Moon” Concept

Both brands drew inspiration from the rare “Corn Moon” – the full moon that appears in September, named for the corn‑harvest season in the Northern Hemisphere. The collaboration’s designers translated this celestial event into a visual language that combines:

The result is a watch that feels like a piece of the night sky on your wrist, while the gold details add a touch of luxury that honors Omega’s heritage.

Technical Highlights

Earthphase Mechanism

At the heart of the piece lies Omega’s renowned Earthphase movement. Unlike a traditional moon‑phase indicator, Earthphase displays the moon’s position relative to Earth, offering a more accurate astronomical display. The mechanism is visible through a sapphire‑crystal case back, allowing enthusiasts to admire the intricate gear train.

Swatch’s Bioceramic Innovation

Swatch contributes its patented Bioceramic material – a blend of ceramic and biodegradable plant‑based resin. The material is:

  1. Lightweight, keeping the watch comfortable for all‑day wear.
  2. Highly resistant to scratches and UV‑induced discoloration.
  3. Eco‑friendly, aligning with both brands’ sustainability goals.

Chronograph Functionality

The chronograph operates with a smooth, 0.1‑second sweep, controlled by a single push‑button crown that also serves as the winding mechanism. This dual‑function design simplifies user interaction while preserving the classic chronograph feel.
