Straps for EarthPhase

Mission to EarthPhase is one of the most distinctive designs in the Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch collection, with its detailed Earth display, deep blue tones and grey case. It already attracts attention on its own, so the right strap should complement the watch rather than compete with it. At MGBWATCHES we specialise in premium 20 mm straps made for MoonSwatch models, and this collection focuses on the best straps for EarthPhase. From woven rubber and curved rubber options to cleaner fabric and leather styles, each strap is chosen to fit the EarthPhase case correctly and support its colour story.

Why Mission to EarthPhase rewards a thoughtful strap choice

The Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch Mission to EarthPhase stands out because of its detailed dial. Between the Earth disc, layered blues and contrasting markers, there is already a lot happening visually. That is why the best straps for EarthPhase tend to be those that work with the dial rather than trying to outshine it.

Owners searching for phrases such as “earthphase strap”, “earthphase straps”, “mission to earthphase strap” or “MoonSwatch straps for EarthPhase” are usually looking for a way to make the watch feel more complete and comfortable on the wrist. A carefully chosen earthphase strap can slim the profile, keep the focus on the dial and turn a fun release into something that feels more like a considered part of a collection.

Mission to EarthPhase strap size and compatibility

A common PAA-style question is “What is the strap size for a MoonSwatch?” The answer applies directly to EarthPhase:

• Mission to EarthPhase uses a 20 mm lug width at the case.
• The lugs are straight and accept standard 20 mm spring bars.
• MoonSwatch straps for EarthPhase can use either traditional or quick-release spring bars.
• Straps shaped specifically for MoonSwatch cases provide the best curvature and fit.

If you see people asking “straps for EarthPhase Swatch” or “Omega x Swatch strap replacement” in relation to this model, they are effectively asking about 20 mm MoonSwatch-compatible straps. Choosing a strap that is cut accurately to 20 mm and that respects the case shape will avoid rubbing, stretching or unsightly gaps at the lugs.

Why EarthPhase owners replace the original strap

The original Velcro strap supplied with the MoonSwatch range has a playful, mission-inspired look, but it is not the final word for comfort or refinement. As a result, many owners look for a MoonSwatch strap replacement almost as soon as they decide to wear EarthPhase regularly.

Typical reasons for upgrading include:

• Improved comfort for long wear during the day.
• A slimmer profile that sits closer to the wrist.
• Materials that feel more in line with other watches in a collection.
• Strap colours that tie into the blue and grey EarthPhase palette.
• A more intentional, collector-focused appearance on the wrist.

Highlight: Galileo Edition Rubber Woven Strap for EarthPhase

Among all the straps available for this model, one earthphase strap sits at the centre of this collection and is often the answer to searches such as “best straps for EarthPhase”, “EarthPhase strap ideas” and “MoonSwatch straps for EarthPhase”.

The Galileo Edition Rubber Woven Strap in Black and Grey for Mission to EarthPhase is crafted exclusively for the Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch Mission to EarthPhase. It brings together functionality, comfort and a quiet tribute to one of history’s most important thinkers.

Featuring a case-hugging curved edge, woven-texture silicone and colour-matched stitching, this best selling earthphase strap is designed to sit seamlessly with the EarthPhase case. The black and grey tones pick up the darker areas of the dial and bezel, while the subtle texture keeps the strap interesting without competing with the Earth disc.

On the underside of the strap, an engraved inscription reads “And Yet It Moves” – the phrase attributed to Galileo in 1633. More than just decoration, this detail honours the spirit of astronomical discovery that the EarthPhase model was built to celebrate. For many collectors this combination of purpose-built fit, thoughtful design and a quiet historical reference makes it the best strap for EarthPhase currently available.

Best strap styles for Mission to EarthPhase

Beyond the Galileo Edition, there are several strap styles that consistently work well with the EarthPhase case and dial. When owners talk about “replacement straps for EarthPhase” or “best straps for EarthPhase”, they usually land on some variation of the following.

Woven rubber and textured rubber straps

Woven rubber and rubber with a lightly patterned surface are ideal for EarthPhase. They echo the technical feel of a modern space-inspired watch while staying discreet on the wrist. Black, grey and navy rubber are all strong matches for the case and dial, and curved-end designs ensure a neat fit against the lugs.

Plain rubber straps

Plain FKM rubber is a very practical option for daily wear. It is softer and more durable than basic silicone and offers solid resistance to heat, UV and sweat. A plain rubber MoonSwatch strap in a dark tone will keep the focus on the dial and the Earth disc while making the watch easier to wear for long periods.

Fabric and nylon straps

Fabric straps are popular for owners who want a slightly more casual look without overwhelming the dial. A single-pass nylon strap in grey, navy or a subtle two-tone weave can sit nicely under the watch without adding too much bulk. Because EarthPhase is already visually busy, neutral fabrics tend to work better than loud colours.

Leather straps

A slim leather strap can give EarthPhase a more classic, slightly dressier feel, especially for owners who want to wear it in more formal settings. Dark blue, charcoal or black leather that lightly echoes the dial colours will keep the combination balanced. Thick, heavily padded leather is less suited, as it can push the watch too far from its original character.

Can you change the strap on a MoonSwatch EarthPhase?

Another frequent question in PAA results is “Can you change the strap on a MoonSwatch?” The answer for EarthPhase is yes, and it is generally straightforward when approached with the right tools and a bit of care.

Most earthphase straps in this collection either ship with quick-release spring bars or can be fitted with them. This allows you to switch between rubber, woven rubber, fabric and leather without constantly working metal tools against the lugs. If you do use a traditional spring-bar tool, it is important to work slowly around the bioceramic case to avoid marks.

The core MoonSwatch strap replacement process is the same for EarthPhase as it is for other models:

1. Place the watch face down on a soft cloth to protect the crystal.
2. Release the spring bar using a quick-release lever or a spring-bar tool.
3. Gently remove the original strap from between the lugs.
4. Slide the spring bars into your new EarthPhase strap if they are not already fitted.
5. Align one end of the bar with the lug hole, then compress the other end until it clicks into place.

7. Test the new strap on your wrist for comfort, balance and security.
