A moon phase feature is one of the most amazing features a watch can have. It helps you to keep track of the different phases of the moon. It is made possible through an aperture on the dial of the watch. Even though the feature looks simple from the outside, it has a complicated design inside. This intricate design requires immense craftsmanship. So, watches with the moon phase feature are usually more expensive than normal watches. However, this feature usually comes only with luxury watches.
Why are some people obsessed with moon phase watches? Ancient civilizations made use of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, planets and stars as a reference to measure time and to determine seasons, months and years. Moreover, Lunar calendars are introduced by tracking the cycles of the moon. The moon phase functions on watches are a graceful remainder of this mysterious cycle of the moon. So, it has more artistic value than scientific value. Moreover, expertise skills are required to get that function onto your wrist.
What is a Moon Phase Watch?
A “moon phase” is the lighted portion of the moon that is visible as the moon orbits around the earth. It takes 29.5 days to complete one rotation. If we observe the moon every night, we can see different phases of it. Some days, we can see the entire moon, which we call a full moon. On some other days, it is only partially seen, while on other days, it is not visible, which is called the new moon day.
However, these phases of the moon follow a regular pattern in all the months. It starts with a new moon, changes to a full moon, and comes back to a new moon. Thus, it follows a cyclic pattern. The eight phases of the moon are new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter and waning crescent. Humans are fascinated with the beauty of the different phases of the moon.
So, how about having the beautiful phases of the moon on your wrist? It is made possible with the arrival of the moon phase watch. Looking at your watch, you can tell whether the moon is full, half, quarter or new. The moon phase watch has a very complicated design inside, and the various phases of the moon are made visible to us through a small aperture on its dial.
