Moon Landing Timepieces

The Mission to the Moon 1969 Watch Honors the Apollo 11 Moon Landing

Mission to the Moon 1969 celebrates the year humans first stepped onto the Moon through a commemorative design that expands the ongoing Swatch and Omega collaboration. The 42 mm watch pairs a matte black Bioceramic case with a black-and-gold rubber strap inspired by the Omega Speedmaster, while the dial, hands, crown, pushers, and tachymeter bezel are crafted from 18K Moonshine Gold. Each watch contains 11 grams of gold reclaimed from vintage Omega spare parts dating back to 1969, alongside a battery cover engraved with a golden Moon and an astronaut's footprint.

The release introduces a new purchasing process requiring applicants to complete a 32-question Electronic Swatch Timepiece Application between July 16 and July 21. Only 1,969 applicants will receive the opportunity to purchase the $570 watch from participating Swatch boutiques.
