The Swatch Omega co-branded series of watches added a new model, MISSION TO THE MOONPHASE, this year. This work, which is presented in black, is named "NEW MOON". Compared with the regular models in the series, this work adopts a black appearance, equipped with a quartz movement exclusively customized by ETA, and introduces the moon phase function for the first time. Through the translucent bridge plate at 2 o'clock, you can see the image of Snoopy sleeping on the crescent moon. Snoopy is the mascot of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NASA has established the Silver Snoopy Award to recognize organizations or individuals who have made outstanding contributions to space exploration. On April 11, 1970, Apollo 13 encountered an emergency failure. The astronauts relied on the Speedmaster watch to accurately calculate the ignition time and finally returned safely. For this reason, the "Snoopy Award" in 1970 was awarded to Omega. The best Omega replica watches at captainthewatch.is.
To remember this honor, Omega launched three Speedmaster series "Snoopy Award" anniversary watches in 2003, 2015 and 2020. As a joint series, MoonSwatch pays tribute to it in a unique way. The case of this watch is made of "BIOCERAMIC". According to the brand, the material is a mixture of 2/3 ceramic and 1/3 biological raw materials. It is light and easy to color, not easy to break, and has a silky touch.
The Certina Kinetic series is known for its excellent appearance design and high cost performance. With the turtle pattern engraved on the bottom cover of the watch, the Kinetic series diving watch is also called "Turtle Watch" by players. In 2022, Certina updated the Turtle Watch product line. The new generation of Turtle Watch has a more durable and wear-resistant ceramic bezel and an all-metal POWERMATIC 80.611 movement, which once again pushed the "cost performance" of the 10,000 yuan diving watch to a new high. In 2023, Certina added a new color FULL BLACK to the new ceramic turtle. The new work continues the consistent design style of the series, including the 43mm watch diameter and various details. The case, dial, ceramic bezel and strap of this watch are all black, except for the hands and hour markers on the dial, which are presented in white. This high-contrast color combination brings a strong visual impact, making the reading of information more intuitive and clear. The Ceramic Turtle FULL BLACK uses a black ceramic bezel. In order to better show its deep texture, the new product turns it into a matte effect. This matte ceramic is similar to the look of the case, making the visual look better. The stainless steel case is treated with matte PVD coating; while the crown, screw-in bottom cover, and bezel anti-slip tooth pattern are bright PVD coating, which is the highlight of the appearance details of this watch.
Tudor's first launch of the "Black Warrior" watch can be traced back to 2019. At the Only Watch auction held that year, the brand brought a black Biwan diving watch. However, as a solitary product, it is too far away from ordinary consumers; until 2021, a new product called "Biwan Ceramic" turned the black ceramic diving watch that appeared at the Only Watch auction into mass production. From the appearance point of view, the Biwan Ceramic model generally continues the design of the Only Watch, including the 41mm diameter, black ceramic case, black PVD metal outer ring, etc. In terms of details, the most significant difference between the mass-produced version and the Only Watch is the color of the luminous material: from gray-black to off-white.
