Today’s new Mission To The Moon 1969 Moonswatch is the most limited edition of the Moonswatch yet, with only 1,969 pieces ever produced. This is certainly a special rendition, paying homage to the Apollo 11 moon landing in, you guessed it, 1969. But unlike the actual Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, whose history is a huge part of the collector’s appeal, I have a feeling that the appeal of these Moonswatches lies in Omega’s use of 18k moon gold. Of course, this isn’t the first time Swatch has used a gold Omega alloy in Moonswatches, but this model has its own twist. many this gold. The dial, hands, pushers and crown are made of Moonshine Gold, the total weight of each of these watches is eleven grams. Interestingly, Swatch claims that the gold used for this edition was smelted from Omega spare parts of the era, which then ties the connection to Omega much more closely.
