Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Starwheel Singapore Edition Audemars Piguet reimagines tradition with a bold, avant-garde flourish in its Code 11.59 Starwheel Singapore Edition.

Its 40 mm case, sculpted from stainless steel and finished with alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces, is a study in contrasts: strength and sophistication, structure and fluidity. At the heart of the watch lies its most compelling feature – a white Super-LumiNova X2 dial that glows with extraordinary intensity when night falls. Red indexes, including oversized Arabic numerals, echo Bell & Ross's aviation heritage while also mirroring the colours of Singapore's national flag.

This timepiece is more than a celebration of timekeeping – it is a luminous symbol of unity, resilience and national spirit.

Housed in a bold 41 mm sandblasted steel case with black DLC coating, the timepiece balances sculptural strength with cosmopolitan elegance. The matte black dial, accented by luminous white indexes, black PVD hands and a red lacquered central seconds hand, encircles a dual 24-hour and world cities ring – with Singapore marked boldly in red to stand out.

The Omega x Swatch Mission to Earthphase gets both the Moonshine Gold and Peanuts treatment. PHOTO: SWATCH Omega x Swatch Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold Just when you thought the MoonSwatch couldn't get more whimsical, Swatch returns with another cosmic twist. And unlike previous editions where Moonshine Gold – Omega's proprietary gold alloy – was limited to the seconds hand, it makes its very first appearance on this timepiece's moonphase display. Moonshine Gold is used for the two full moons in the moonphase display. PHOTO: SWATCH The new MoonSwatch also gets a Peanuts spin, with both Snoopy and Woodstock gracing the dial, and the former's paw prints adorning one of the full moons. The beagle's quote 'I beat everybody…' appears not just on the case back, but also as a UV-activated Easter egg on the dial – a playful wink at the joy of discovery that has defined the MoonSwatch line. UV light will unveil Easter Eggs on the dial. PHOTO: SWATCH Dressed in a new navy blue hue, the Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold comes with a matching rubber strap, previously only available online. The aventurine finish on the dial's blue sections adds a sparkly, starry texture – a fitting detail for a watch inspired by the cosmos. While not officially a tribute to Singapore's 60th anniversary, the stars-and-moon symbolism – paired with a launch date coinciding with National Day on Aug 9 – makes this edition a timely and thematically aligned nod to Singapore. Like its predecessors, this Moonshine Gold MoonSwatch will be available only on full moon day this Saturday.
