Omega and Swatch Launch Gold MoonSwatch with Application Process

market-auction · 2026-07-17

Swatch and Omega have announced a limited-edition MoonSwatch made from 18-karat gold. Prospective buyers must complete an application to be considered for purchase. The release follows the success of the original MoonSwatch collection, which debuted in 2022 and featured colorful bioceramic cases inspired by Omega's Speedmaster Moonwatch. The new gold version marks a significant shift in materials and exclusivity, as the original models were widely available in stores. The application process aims to control distribution and ensure the watches reach genuine collectors. No specific price or production numbers have been disclosed, but the use of precious metal suggests a substantial increase over the standard MoonSwatch retail price of around $260. The collaboration continues to blend Swatch's playful accessibility with Omega's luxury heritage.
