Watch Description
Aptly named “NEW MOON”, this non-limited model boasts an elegant all-black color scheme. It features a Bioceramic case, crown and pushers as well as a VELCRO® strap. The chronograph seconds hand, subdial hands, and tachymeter scale are in white. The subdials and bezel are in black. This model stands out with its black moon phase function, arguably the most poetic of all watch complications. Snoopy who has been associated with human space missions since the 1960s, is featured lying on the moon on the moon phase disc, which rotates in the subdial set at 2 o’clock. Under UV light, a hidden quote from a Snoopy comic strip nestled amidst crescent moons and stars, is revealed on the unique subdial. 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, the iconic “dot over 90” detail on the tachymeter scale 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.

<p class="font_8">**Moonswatch Mission to the Moonphase New Moon Model SO33B700 Review by A.I. WatchMetrics**
### Watch Summary:
The Moonswatch Mission to the Moonphase New Moon Model SO33B700 is a unique blend of Swatch's playful design ethos and Omega's iconic Speedmaster heritage. This watch is classified under the **Statement/Fashion** style category due to its bold design and collaboration with a prestigious brand. It features a quartz movement, ensuring reliable timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The watch is intended for fashion-forward individuals who appreciate a blend of iconic design and modern flair. Its standout feature is the moonphase complication, which adds a touch of sophistication and aligns with the lunar theme. The watch is perfect for those who enjoy making a statement with their accessories while valuing the historical significance of the Speedmaster lineage.
### Overall Watch Rating: 6.7/10.0
- **Functions Metric (8.0/10.0)**
The watch offers a moonphase complication, which is a rare feature in this price range, enhancing its functionality. Its quartz movement ensures precise timekeeping, making it suitable for daily wear.
- **Complications Metric (7.5/10.0)**
The inclusion of a moonphase complication is notable, especially in a fashion-oriented watch, providing a unique feature that sets it apart from typical quartz watches.
- **Movement Metric (7.0/10.0)**
The quartz movement is reliable and low-maintenance, though it lacks the complexity and craftsmanship of mechanical movements. It serves its purpose well for a fashion watch.
- **Dials & Design Metric (7.0/10.0)**
The design is bold and eye-catching, with a clear homage to the Omega Speedmaster. The dial features a playful yet sophisticated layout, though it lacks the artisanal craftsmanship of higher-end models.
- **Material Metric (6.5/10.0)**
The materials used are standard for a Swatch, focusing on durability and affordability. While not luxurious, they are well-suited for the watch's intended use.
- **Versatility Metric (6.5/10.0)**
The watch is versatile in casual and fashion-forward settings but lacks the adaptability for formal or professional environments.
- **Rarity Metric (6.0/10.0)**
While the collaboration with Omega adds a layer of exclusivity, the watch is widely available, limiting its rarity score.
- **History & Innovation Metric (6.0/10.0)**
The collaboration with Omega brings historical significance, but the watch itself does not introduce groundbreaking innovations.
- **Brand Metric (5.5/10.0)**
Swatch is a well-known brand with a strong market presence, but it does not carry the luxury prestige of Omega, affecting the overall brand score.
### Celebrity and Historical Figures:
While no specific celebrities are known to wear the Moonswatch Mission to the Moonphase New Moon Model SO33B700, the collaboration with Omega ties it to the legacy of the Speedmaster, famously worn by astronauts during the Apollo missions. This connection adds a layer of historical allure to the watch, appealing to enthusiasts of space exploration and horological history.</p>
