When it comes to case materials, fans of the Moonwatch are already spoiled for choice, with current collection models in steel, Sedna Gold and Canopus Gold. In 2022, OMEGA is taking lunar inspiration to the next level with two new models in Moonshine Gold.
One with Moonshine Gold dial, black ceramic bezel ring and blackened subdials and indexes. Another with a PVD green coated dial and a green ceramic bezel ring. To offer aficionados even greater choice, OMEGA is offering two ways to fix their Moonshine Gold Moonwatch to the wrist: a matching bracelet or strap.
Powering all new models is OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861. As shown, OMEGA is offering the watch on a polished and brushed 18K Moonshine Gold bracelet, or integrated black rubber strap with lunar surface texture on the back and 18K Moonshine Gold foldover clasp.
What is OMEGA Moonshine Gold?
