How to set up the MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase
Short answer: The moon, time and chrono are set like the other Moonphase models: crown III and pusher B for the moon, crown II with A and B to re-zero the hands. What's new is the pulsometer bezel. Start the chrono on one heartbeat, stop it on the 30th and read your pulse off the bezel.

What do you need to set on the Mission to the Pink Moonphase?
Set up moon phase on the MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase
- 1
Pull the crown to III
Two clicks out. Here the lower pusher (B) drives the moon disc.
- 2
Hold B to move in big jumps
A long press keeps the disc moving, in steps of about five days, and speeds up the longer you hold.
- 3
Tap B to finish
Each short press (under a second) moves the disc forward one hour. Stop when the moon matches tonight.
- 4
Push the crown back to I
The disc now moves on its own. The hands stood still while the crown was at III, so check the time.
Reset chronograph hands on the MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase

Stop and reset first
Crown at I. Stop the chronograph with A and reset with B, so you can see which hand is off.
- 2
Pull the crown to II
One click out.
- 3
Press A once: seconds hand selected
The central chrono seconds hand makes one full turn to show it is selected.
- 4
B moves it to 12
Short press = one step, long press = fast. Stop exactly on 12.
- 5
Press A again: minute counter
Now B moves the 60-minute counter at 10 o'clock. Bring it to zero.
- 6
Crown back to I and test
Start, stop and reset. Both hands should land on zero.

Set the time on the MoonSwatch Mission to the Pink Moonphase
- 1

- 2
Turn to set the time
Turn either way until the hands match your clock.
- 3
Push the crown back to I
Push it in on the beat of your reference clock.
How to take a pulse with the pulsometer
- Crown pushed in at I and chronograph reset to zero.
- Find a pulse at the wrist or neck. Press A on a beat.
- Count 30 beats and press A again on the 30th.
- Read the bezel where the chrono seconds hand stopped. That number is beats per minute.
What owners run into
- The pulsometer only reads correctly over the number of beats it is drawn for: 30 here. Stop on the 30th beat, not after 15 or 60.
- Count the beat you start on as zero. Starting the count at one adds a beat and reads a little high.
- The heart-shaped pusher is decoration. It has the same job as the top pusher on the other Moonphase models.
How the Mission to the Pink Moonphase differs from similar watches
Same movement and buttons as the Mission to the Moonphase, so the moon and chrono steps are shared. The bezel is the difference. A pulsometer measures heart rate, where the tachymeter on the white and black models measures speed. The Super Blue Moonphase has a blue version of the same bezel.
Quick answers
What is the pulsometer on the Pink Moonphase for?
It turns a 30-beat timing into beats per minute, so you can read heart rate straight off the bezel.
Why does my Pink Moonphase glow pink?
The hands and markers use pink luminous paint, and some dial details only appear under UV light.
Is the Pink Moonphase set up differently from the white or black one?
No. Crown positions and pushers work the same. Only the bezel scale and decoration change.
