The MoonSwatch Mission to the Sun – Solar Eclipse reinterprets the yellow Mission to the Sun model through details inspired by the total solar eclipse of August 12, 2026. The chronograph replaces the standard yellow pusher at 2 o'clock with a black Bioceramic version symbolizing the Moon passing in front of the Sun.

A new-moon graphic appears on the battery cover caseback, while a white rubber strap with a VELCRO® closure and Bioceramic loop introduces a contrasting finish. The underside of the strap features a textured yellow surface referencing the Moon's cratered landscape.

The watch retains the 42 mm Bioceramic case, quartz chronograph movement and the collection's "Dot Over Ninety" tachymeter bezel. Released as a Spain-exclusive edition, the model was available for one day on August 12 through Swatch's online store and selected boutiques in Bilbao, Ibiza and Valencia.
