MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon 1969 (SSX01B700)

The MoonSwatch that finally uses proper gold.

Mission to the Moon 1969 is the most serious thing Swatch and OMEGA have done with this platform. The dial, hands, crown and pushers are all 18K Moonshine™ Gold. Not plated. Not gold-coloured. Solid.

The gold has a story that is very hard to top. OMEGA melted down genuine spare parts dating back to 1969 and recast them as Moonshine™ Gold for this edition. The gold components come to 11 grams in total, which is a quiet nod to Apollo 11. Somebody at Biel thought about that one for a while.

The design points squarely at OMEGA's gold Speedmaster of 1969, the piece made to mark the success of the Apollo 11 landing. You get a vertical satin dial finish, a black Bioceramic bezel with a gold-toned tachymeter scale, gold bevelled indexes filled with black lacquer, and period-correct OMEGA logos and typography throughout. It reads as a tribute rather than a costume.

Production is capped at 1,969 individually numbered pieces worldwide. Swatch sold it through the Electronic Swatch Timepiece Application ballot, so there were no queues, no boutique scrums and no walk-ins. The application window has closed. If you were not drawn, the retail route is finished.

That is where we come in. This is a factory-fresh, unworn example, complete and correct, ready to ship from the UK today.
