Swatch works together with OMEGA to celebrate the beloved dog cartoon Snoopy with the Mission to Moonphase timepiece. It takes the iconic MoonSwatch as the canvas as the two first teased the watch back in January 2024 showcasing Snoopy in space howling at the animated moon. Now, the two post online to show off the sleeping Snoopy resting under a line that reads "I can't sleep without a nightlight."
Around the watch is a slew of what appears to be random numbers from 5 to 29.5 etched onto it. here are also moon cycle motifs -- the 29.5 is also contributing to this concept as it is the approximate number of days it takes to finish one cycle of phases from one new moon to the next.
