The "Mission to Earth" is defined by its unique, multi-toned palette, which abstracts the planet’s topography. It is the only reference to pair a matte, pastel-green Bioceramic case—representing land—with a deep navy blue dial and tachymeter bezel, representing the oceans. This model is further distinguished by its contrasting chronograph hands, which are rendered in a distinct brown. This unconventional and complex combination of green, blue, and brown creates a subdued, earth-toned aesthetic.
Swatch was conceived by engineers at ETA SA and guided by the formidable commercial strategy of Nicolas G. Hayek, the brand repositioned the Swiss-made timepiece as an accessible, artistic, and fun fashion accessory. The name itself, a contraction of "Second Watch," defined its new market category. The immense financial success of this high-volume, low-cost model provided the foundation for Hayek's new corporate entity, SMH (later The Swatch Group), to acquire and rebuild cornerstone luxury maisons such as Blancpain and Breguet.
