Swatch has unveiled the Mission To The Moon 1969 MoonSwatch, a limited-edition timepiece that celebrates Apollo 11’s historic moon landing. Only 1,969 units will be produced, each priced at $570 (roughly ₱35,000), referencing the gold value on July 21, 1969.
The watch features 11 grams of Omega’s 18K Moonshine Gold, made from melted-down OMEGA spare parts dating back to 1969. It is applied to the dial, hands, pushers, and crown. It also has a matte black Bioceramic case that contrasts with the vertically brushed gold dial.
The bezel has a gold-colored tachymeter scale. Each piece is individually numbered with gold lacquer infill, strengthening its collectible appeal.
Specs include a 42mm Bioceramic case, 13.25mm thickness, and water resistance up to 3 bar. It comes with a black rubber strap with Velcro and gold lining. Inside is the Swatch Chronograph Caliber for hours, minutes, seconds, and chronograph functions.
Swatch is selling the watch through an online application system called the “Electronic Swatch Timepiece Application” (ESTA). Applicants must answer 32 questions, with submissions closing on July 21, 2026, at 23:59 CEST (July 22, 2026, at 5:59 PHT).
Demand is expected to be high, with early reports of heavy traffic already crashing the application page.
