The "Mission to the Sun" functions as the conceptual anchor of the solar system-themed collection, rendered in a bright yellow Bioceramic. This golden yellow dial is set against a high-contrast white bezel and strap, with orange chronograph hands providing a functional accent. Its bold, monochromatic, and non-traditional execution makes it one of the most expressive and playful models in the 2022 launch.
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.
