August’s solar eclipse reveals… a rare MoonSwatch!

August 11, 2026

This August, as a solar eclipse casts its shadow across parts of the world, including regions in Spain, MISSION TO THE SUN appears in a special new edition inspired by this extraordinary celestial event.
Celebrating the moment when the Moon briefly eclipses the sun, the MISSION TO THE SUN - SOLAR ECLIPSE introduces a distinctive black Bioceramic pusher at 2 o’clock echoing the subtle beauty of a total solar eclipse. This model also features a battery cover adorned with a New Moon design, a nod to the lunar phase during which every solar eclipse occurs.
As with all Bioceramic MoonSwatch models, this timepiece is crafted from Swatch’s patented Bioceramic and boasts many of the OMEGA’s legendary Speedmaster Moonwatch iconic features, including an asymmetrical case and the famous tachymeter scale with the dot over ninety. The OMEGA X Swatch logos are proudly displayed on its dial and crown, and its mission statement is engraved on the back of its case.
The MISSION TO THE SUN - SOLAR ECLIPSE model will be exclusively available on August 12, 2026 in Spain, through our Spanish website, at our Swatch stores in Bilbao, Ibiza and Valencia and our in-store digital catalog at all Swatch stores in Spain. Fans can also discover it through the Rolling Planet which will be traveling across León with different stops throughout the day.
