Step Back In Time
12 months previously, the collaboration between Swatch and Omega made the original Moonswatch with 11 planetary models the hottest watch of 2022. Influenced by the Omega Speedmaster, even Ed Sheeran managed to bag himself one at £207, the Mission To The Moon’. Reference-SO33M100.

Every Second Counts
This year, the horological pandemonium kicked off on March 7th with the original Mission To Moonshine Gold that featured a seconds chronograph hand made from Omega’s bespoke 18K alloy material - Moonshine Gold. As hotly anticipated as Tyson Fury’s next fight, Omega and Swatch delivered a knockout punch on the day. Resembling queuing for tickets to Wimbledon Centre Court, throngs of people headed for various locations across Europe including in London’s The Royal Exchange. Quite apt as this is the exact location of the UK’s gold reserves.

From the subtle and mysterious Instagram teasers to the clever marketing ploys Swatch undertook, watch circles were ablaze with the new Omega Moonswatch Mission To Moonshine Gold. So what has changed? Nothing pretty much barring a spanking new box and fewer quantities produced ensuring it becomes highly sought after than ever before. Although it left us feeling a tad meh, even at the time of writing, secondary market prices of the Moonswatch gold on Ebay are six times above the recommended retail price of £250. Who knew Bioceramic bartering was a thing! Popular models such as The Mission To Neptune and Mission To Jupiter have been causing a stir with enthusiasts as online sales are unavailable. And don’t think Swatch stores will have many as the watch has fast become like gold dust.
D-Day For The Omega Moonswatch Gold
If you missed the teaser, where have you been? For 24 hours only, April 6th plays host yet again to the biggest timekeeping frenzy…since Watches and Wonders 2023. No doubt timelords will be pulling up a pew, a folding chair and reminiscing about March 7th before making it to the front of the line. The 12th watch in the Bioceramic collection, Chrono Hunter is certain that demand will be outstripping supply one more time for this magnanimous and somewhat insane event.
