Notes ETA G10.212 movement |
The Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch, or simply MoonSwatch, is a collection of 11 chronograph wristwatches produced by Swatch (company of Swatch Group) released on 26 March 2022. The watches have a 42-millimetre (1.5 in) diameter and 13-millimetre (0.5 in) thickness, and Super-LumiNova for the indexes and hands, which is the same lume as that used in the Omega Speedmaster. It has a quartz ETA G10.212 movement. Initial hype from the watch's release led to long queues in Australia, Canada, Italy,[3] Japan, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.[4][5] Each consumer was initially limited to 2 watches but due to high demand that was later reduced to a limit of 1.[6][7]
Each named as a "Mission", these are the standard colorways, one with distinct subdial hands. Other special versions have a distinct chronometer seconds hand or coloring or lume application.
According to CEO Nick Hayek of Swatch Group, the release of the collaboration also boosted sales of the original Omega Speedmaster by roughly 50%.[8][9]
