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, Japan, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Each consumer was initially limited to 2 watches but due to high demand that was later reduced to a limit of 1.
