Watch Description
Celebrating the summer season and the blue moon of August 19, 2024 this chronograph features a blue Bioceramic case, crown and pushers as well as a blue VELCRO® strap with contrasting light blue topstitching and a blue Bioceramic attachment loop. It has a blue and silver-opaline panda dial with blue hands and hour markers. Unlike the other models in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, the blue Bioceramic bezel features a pulsometer scale with white markers. This model stands out with its moon phase function, arguably the most poetic of all watch complications. Two oversized blue moons rest against a dark blue moon phase disc, which rotates in the subdial set at 2 o’clock. Under UV light, a secret detail appears on the moon phase mask and disc. A moon with various shades of blue can be seen on the battery cover. All dials in the collection carry the OMEGA X Swatch branding, the iconic Speedmaster logo and the MoonSwatch logo. The box-shaped biosourced glass construction, the etched "S" in the center of the glass referencing the Swatch logo, the fine and sophisticated circular pattern on the dial outer ring and the recessed subdials, the sharp and smooth lugs construction and of course the unique Bioceramic feel are common to all models. The indexes, hour and minute hands and chronograph seconds hand sport Grade A Super-LumiNova® for a perfect glow in the dark. This model is available for purchase only between August 1 and August 19, 2024 and only from 5 pm onward at selected Swatch points of sale worldwide.
