Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch Beaver Moon: The Latest Addition To The EarthPhase Moonshine Gold Line-up

Updated 6/11/25: Mission To Earthphase MoonShine Gold - Beaver Moon SO33N704L available for purchase from mgbwatches here

A new Moon, a new release. Swatch has confirmed the fourth model in the EarthPhase Moonshine Gold series. Introducing The Swatch x OMEGA Mission to EarthPhase Moonshine Gold: Beaver Moon: Ref code SO33N704L; and it arrives with a much clearer brief than last months "Uncle Sam" finger pointing 'YOU' edition. Nature meets space, folklore meets functionality, and the MoonSwatch story pushes on with another chapter for November.

We have followed every EarthPhase step so far. The early drops felt like riddles under the night sky, each tied to a full moon and a small design clue. The Swatch x OMEGA Beaver Moon keeps that ritual going, but with a calmer tone. There is less noise, more reference, and a detail that feels cheeky and memorable. A beaver has taken a bite out of the full moon on the subdial. It is playful, a little odd, and entirely on theme for November's super moon.

The Design, Up Close

The watch leans into the same familiar navy and white colour scheme, with a clean white opaline dial and a full set of luminous hour markers.  The point of difference lives in the upper right subdial. Two full moons, both finished in OMEGA Moonshine Gold, rotate through the moon phase window. One is drawn in the distinct Snoopy style. The other looks as if a beaver has taken a bite from its edge.

At ten o’clock the earth phase display shows our planet as it would appear from the surface of the Moon. Under UV light the oceans glow blue, which adds a quiet thrill without turning the dial into a novelty piece. Below that, Snoopy and Woodstock stand on the lunar surface, looking back at Earth. A phrase appears only under UV light, a private joke for those who bring a torch to the party. It is light hearted, but it is also a reminder of the long Omega tradition that sits behind all this. The Moonwatch history is never far away, even on Bioceramic.

How the EarthPhase Complication Works

The EarthPhase idea arrived in 2024 and remains the clever heart of these models. It mirrors the lunar cycle in reverse. A traditional moonphase shows the Moon as seen from Earth. EarthPhase flips the view. The display follows a 29.5 day cycle, but when we see a full moon in the sky, the watch shows a new Earth, and when the sky holds a new moon, the watch shows a full Earth. It is a simple inversion that changes how you relate to the dial. You are not looking up. You are looking back.

What the Beaver Motif Adds

Seasonal names are not just labels. They carry folklore. The Beaver Moon marks the time when beavers prepare dams before winter. It is a story of patience, preparation, and construction. The bitten moon is a literal take, and it works because it is small. It does not shout across the dial. It sits inside the subdial as a quick visual note, a wink that rewards a second look.

Build and Wear

The case is the standard MoonSwatch 42 mm format in navy Bioceramic with the usual asymmetry that nods to the Speedmaster. On wrist it wears the same as recent EarthPhase drops. Light, slightly chunky, and easy to forget until the lume pops in low light. The biosourced glass keeps the look consistent with the rest of the line, and the etched S at centre gives a small texture cue at certain angles.

The strap is a navy rubber with VELCRO closure. It reads a touch more technical than textile and suits the colder months. If you prefer more texture through autumn and winter, a quick strap change does the job. We have listed pairings further down for those who like to rotate looks with the season.

Availability Window and Buying Notes

The Beaver Moon is on a clock. It is available from 5 November 2025 to 20 November 2025, and only at Swatch stores that carry the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection. That two week window gives more breathing space than the one day Moonshine drops of the early days. It suits people who travel or who cannot queue on a single date. Stock still moves quickly, so early store visits remain the safest plan.

Who This Release Suits

People building an EarthPhase run will add this without question. The bitten moon is a neat marker for November, and the navy case means easy pairing with winter clothes. If you came in for Snoopy details, you get those too, along with the UV line that rewards a torch test. If you prefer louder colour shifts, you may wait for a future month. This one is about tone rather than shock.

Strap Pairing Ideas

Small changes can shift the whole mood of a MoonSwatch.  Shop our MoonSwatch Straps to give your Earthphase MoonShine (or any other MoonSwatch in Your collection) a serious upgrade 

Display and Storage

As the EarthPhase line grows, more people are building month by month displays at home. Our flight cases reflect the in store presentation that made the first MoonSwatch launch feel like theatre. The three watch case is ideal for a seasonal rotation. The eleven watch case makes sense if you are curating a larger set and want the months visible at a glance.

What We Think

We have asked for more meaning and less noise. The Beaver Moon sits closer to that ideal. It is not a radical shift. It does not need to be. The earth phase remains the clever hook. Snoopy still brings a smile under UV. The beaver bite is a small, tidy idea that nails the brief for November. Nature, craft, and a hint of winter. All present and correct.

There will be debates about repetition. That comes with any monthly series. The Beaver Moon answers by leaning into tone rather than novelty. It reads calmer. It reads seasonal. It reads like a chapter rather than a reboot. For a collection that has lived at the centre of watch culture for years, that is a healthy move.

The Season in Reflection

The Beaver Moon brings the EarthPhase series into late autumn with a quieter voice. It is not a shout. It is a nod. A small bite taken from a golden moon. A glow on water. A smile under a UV torch. The kind of detail that turns a monthly ritual into something you enjoy returning to.

We will keep looking up. We will keep rotating straps with the season. We will see you in store between 5 and 20 November.
