About a year after the MoonSwatch that broke the internet (and not only), we are expecting another version of it, the MoonSwatch Mission to Moonshine Gold, which will be presented today!
Whether you wear the watch on your left or right hand, get ready!

Swatch & Omega collaborate again Unlike the first time, this advertising campaign is less mysterious and we know that the MoonSwatch Mission to Moonshine Gold will be based on Omega's exclusive gold alloy, called Moonshine Gold. The watch will be available only in four boutiques located in Tokyo , Zurich, Milan and London, making it even more exclusive than the original MoonSwatch. Japan will be the first to get the MoonSwatch, about eight hours before everyone else.
Despite the affordable price and "partially" plastic construction of the original MoonSwatch, its exclusivity made it a "prestige" item, which was still flaunted by various celebrities. This time, the limited availability and reference to precious metals suggest that the MoonSwatch Mission to Moonshine Gold could be of higher quality or even limited -edition . One possible “approach” could be to mix Omega ’s MoonShine gold with Swatch ’s Bioceramic – the composite material of plastic and ceramic used in the development of the original MoonSwatch. This would make more sense, as the color of Bioceramic is achieved through pigments added to the material rather than being applied afterwards. The MoonShine Gold Bioceramic will likely have a higher price tag than the $260 (of the original MoonSwatch model), but it will still be reasonably priced.

The MoonSwatch philosophy is full of important details and references.
The design of the watch is said to be influenced by the all-gold Speedmasters that Omega gave to the Apollo 11 after their mission in 1969. The gold “Speedmaster” was also the first gold Speedmaster and Omega released a tribute to it in 2019, which was also the starting point for the Moonshine Gold.
What exactly is Moonshine Gold?
Moonshine Gold is a unique alloy created by Omega in 2019, which has a paler shade than traditional 18K yellow gold and promises to retain its shine and color longer.
I can say that I am quite excited about the release of the MoonSwatch Mission to Moonshine Gold and while we may not know exactly what to expect, we are patient for its unveiling!
