None of the previous iterations of the Moonphase / Moonglow have been Limited Edition.

Just saying.

Tut, tut, tut. The official tag line was "Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate, tastes like chocolate never tasted before." I still remember the "Flake Girl."

Steve might be more grammatically correct but grammar and marketing seldom walk the same path of righteousness.

‘Clearly Cosmic’…..
So what do you think is ‘clear’ about the watch??
Clear caseback?
Clear dial? (skeleton aventurine anyone?)
Clear Bezel?
Completely see-through watch?

See you at the preview later

Ooh. Cosmic. I'm feeling all Rodney Trotter.

Seen on Facebook this evening;-



Set your alarm clocks.

NB> that's 26th October.

Didn’t they talk about stripping the moonphase back to its essence?

I’m with Lindsey @missF. “Clearly” is very obviously a hint. CW verbiage is seldom without nuance. The clue, I think, is in the fact that there’s nothing at all clear in the image....

The images seem to show a sparkly dial, which suggests Aventurine (love it!), though it’s neither cosmic nor of the moon, so beautiful as it is, it’s not really à point.

“The Lunacy Continues”, “Ready for Launch” - an impressive jumble of space-centric double entendres. If I were susceptible to CW’s clumsy misdirection I would be waiting for a Chaykin homage with a case cut from moon rock & a dial from space shuttle tile. But I’m not.

Edit: and throw in a Perpetual Calendar, why not?

I'm really excited to see this.
Fingers crossed it is wearable on *cough* smaller wrists.
My bank account says otherwise but hey, who's feeding who ?

Curious to see this too. Had a moonphase when I was a teenager but not had one since. It's not the most practical of complications, but it's certainly nearing the top of the list when it comes to aesthetics. I found its earlier incarnation has caught my eye on a number of occasions.

Sparkly , starry dial with no markers , moonphase center stage where the moon appears as if by magic across that starry background. Maybe no date to keep it cosmic looking , halo style fixed bezel errrr………… black leather strap ………

Complete guess by the way, I have not seen any preview

Was hoping for a subtle and dressy moonphase. With the sparkly dial it appears it could be another watch that screams moonphase.

Would love a 40mm sealander with a nice subtle moonphase window. I believe that would sell like hotcakes.

Quite excited to see the reveal - hope those joining the online one enjoyed it (was that today?)

I'm hoping for something closer to a tool watch than a dress watch, but in reality I'm expecting this to be another awesome watch that's probably not for me... still can't wait to see it!

Is it released tomorrow? That's right, isn't it?

The event at the planetarium was delightful this evening and there were plenty of examples to be scrutinized closely. Only observation I can reasonably make is that the watch has to be appreciated in the flesh. Be interesting to see if any YouTubers can capture its impact.

Yes, tomorrow.

Vanta black dial perforated with the odd star and a moon that’s is printed to be accurate like the Omega one please. Obvs no date and yes to some sort of markers
