A Release That Breaks the Pattern

For months, the MoonSwatch lineup has circled the same deep-blue orbit. Beautiful, yes — but increasingly predictable.
The arrival of the Swatch x Omega Mission to EarthPhase – Moonshine Gold “Cold Moon” is the moment that loop finally breaks.

This isn’t another navy variant.
It’s a clean reset.

Crisp white Bioceramic.
A winter-bright palette.
UV-reactive Snoopy artwork.
A Moonshine Gold moon disc engraved with a snowflake that’s unique to every single watch.

Suddenly, the EarthPhase line feels alive again.

A White Bioceramic Case That Changes Everything

The first thing you notice?
The Cold Moon looks nothing like the last four releases.

The all-white Bioceramic case gives the watch a clarity and sharpness the navy models never had. The deep-blue tachymeter markings and the darker lunar apertures sit against it with deliberate contrast — clean, modern, quietly confident.

This watch doesn’t feel like a continuation.
It feels like the start of a new direction for Moonshine-era MoonSwatches.

A Different Snowflake on Every Watch

Collectors obsess over details — and Swatch knows it.

The 18ct Moonshine Gold disc at 2 o’clock isn’t just polished gold.
On the Cold Moon, it carries a snowflake engraving that is different on every single piece produced.

Not laser-copied.
Not repeated across batches.
Genuinely individual.

A subtle detail that turns each watch into its own edition.
A tiny engraving, but a powerful appeal for collectors who crave uniqueness.

The Big Twist: Availability Only When It Snows in Switzerland

This is where things take an unexpected turn.

Swatch has introduced one of the most unusual release rules ever used in watch retail:

The Cold Moon is only available to buy in Swatch Stores on days when it is physically snowing in Switzerland.

Not forecasted snow.
Not “cold conditions.”
Actual snowfall — in real time.

That creates a release pattern that is:

• unpredictable
• weather-dependent
• inconsistent
• extremely limited
• completely outside the buyer’s control

There can be entire weeks with no snow at all.
Then suddenly, a 20-minute snowfall triggers worldwide store releases.

It’s not a limited edition…
It’s a limited-weather edition, which is arguably even rarer.

This availability rule alone has made the Cold Moon one of the hardest EarthPhase models to obtain directly from Swatch.

The Good News: HSCS.SHOP Has Made the Cold Moon Available to Order

While Swatch’s snowfall-only rule creates huge scarcity, we’ve taken a different approach.

We’ve made the Mission to EarthPhase – Moonshine Gold “Cold Moon” available to order directly through our website — HSCS.SHOP — without depending on Swiss weather at all.

No waiting for snow.
No checking weather apps.
No standing in queues that may or may not open.

Collectors can secure the Cold Moon simply and reliably, regardless of whether Switzerland sees snow that day.

A Winter Aesthetic That Actually Works All Year

What makes the Cold Moon stand out even more is how well it wears.

Despite its seasonal inspiration, the white and blue palette is remarkably simple to style — clean enough for everyday wear, neutral enough for any season, and visually sharper than the deep navy tones that dominated the last few releases.

It slips into a wardrobe rather than competing with it, which is rare for a MoonSwatch.

A Well-Timed Reset for the MoonSwatch Collection

In short, the Cold Moon delivers exactly what collectors have been waiting for:

• A break from the navy-dominated theme
• A genuinely fresh aesthetic
• A unique Moonshine Gold snowflake disc
• A wildly unpredictable release mechanic
• A design that feels thoughtful, playful and new

It has instantly become one of the most desirable EarthPhase models — and one of the hardest to get due to its snowfall-locked release window.
