Swatch’s Snoopy MoonSwatch ‘Mission to Moonphase’ is available today – here’s how to get one in the UK
After months of anticipation, teaser videos, and fervent speculation among watch enthusiasts, Swatch’s Snoopy MoonSwatch ‘Mission to Moonphase’ is finally available to buy. It’s a must-have accessory for collectors, casual wearers, and hype-beasts alike.
Below, I’ve listed all of the Swatch locations in the UK where you can buy the Snoopy MoonSwatch as well as the opening times of the stores.
If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, the Snoopy MoonSwatch is a collaboration between the iconic Swiss watchmaker Swatch and the equally iconic Peanuts character Snoopy.
The watch has been the subject of much buzz since its initial teaser video and the full announcement last week.
The history of Snoopy’s appearance on the Omega Speedmaster pays homage to the Apollo 11 mission and NASA’s Snoopy Award. It has resulted in some of the most collectable models around.
The ‘Mission to Moonphase’ features an all-white Bioceramic case and Snoopy lounging inside a moon crater, with stars in the background.
Where is the Snoopy MoonSwatch available in the UK?
The MoonSwatch is available to purchase in eight Swatch stores across the UK. There are two in Scotland, one in Liverpool, and five in London.
You can find the full list of Swatch stores that stock the Snoopy MoonSwatch below:
Edinburgh, Princess Street 99
Glasgow, Glasgow Buchanan Galleries
Liverpool, Paradise Street
London, Carnaby Street
London, Covent Garden
London, Harvey Nichols
London, Oxford Street
London, Westfield White City Store
All of the stores listed above open at 10AM, apart from Glasgow which opens at 9AM (you can find exact addresses here). So, if you want the kudos of owning the first Snoopy MoonSwatch in the UK, then head over to Glasgow.
The watch is priced at £270, which is £30 more than the original planet-based MoonSwatches.
Just like the original MoonSwatch launch, I expect there will be long queues outside the stores, with retailers bracing for high demand.
I have no doubt the watch will sell out quickly, but it’s worth remembering that Swatch has stated the Mission to Moonphase is not a limited edition. So if you miss out today there will always be another chance to get one in the future. In a move that will annoy some, the Snoopy MoonSwatch will not be available online.
All that’s left is to ponder what Swatch has planned next, but, if I were a detective, I’d take a look at the candles on Snoopy’s birthday cake for a potential clue…
