MoonSwatch 18K Gold Edition Drops With 32-Question Gate

Swatch and Omega unveil a new MoonSwatch model — Mission to the Moon 1969 — featuring a dial, hands, crown, and pushers in 18k gold, crafted from 1960s Omega spare parts. Only 1,969 pieces will be made and released for a 24-hour window around July 21–22. The watch is priced under £500, with the vintage gold price basis. Access isn’t automatic: applicants must complete a 32-question Omega history questionnaire within 2 hours 15 minutes, and those who pass receive the gold watch. The release follows 2026 hype from Swatch collaborations like the Royal Pop, which triggered global crowds and chaos at several stores.
