This is what the Moonswatch ‘Mission to Moonshine Gold’ could look like

We’ll find out what the watch is soon enough, but that hasn’t stopped us from speculating along with the rest of you. Unlike last year, we’ve got a pretty solid framework to go off. We’re assuming this Moonswatch will take the same form as last year, and Moonshine Gold is a known quantity in the Omega universe — a patented alloy famously used on the Speedmaster Apollo 11 Anniversary Limited Edition. But, we’re not going to actually get a gold Moonswatch, are we? Well, we might, but not in the way we’re used to. Swatch could easily make an alloy of ceramic and Moonshine Gold — because we’ve seen it before. Hublot’s proprietary Magic Gold is an alloy of the precious metal and ceramic, which gives it the look of gold and the properties of ceramic. Swatch certainly possesses the capability to craft a new version of gold — in fact Omega did it recently with ‘Bronze Gold’.

However, the price tag on a watch made with a substantial amount of Moonshine Gold would be high, and not in the ethos of the fun, fashionable Moonswatch. What we think far more likely is a case made mostly of a ceramic material that includes a splash of Moonshine, to give it a lustre and a link to Omega’s precious pedigree. Or, we could be totally wrong. But in the spirit of speculation, we’ve come up with a few possibilities as to what the Moonswatch ‘Mission to Moonshine Gold’ might look like.
