Swiss luxury watch label Omega has added two new styles to its Moonwatch collection both in a 'Moonshine Gold' finish. The new finishing comes in the form of an 18K yellow gold alloy that is made up of 75% gold, 14.5% silver, 9% copper, and 1% palladium.
One model comes with a gold dial, while the other features a PVD green dial. Otherwise, both watches share the same features, including a 42mm case with a ceramic bezel insert and a range of watch strap options, the most notable of which is a rubber strap with a lunar surface pattern on its underside.
In terms of power, the watch comes equipped with Omega's Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 3861, a manual-wound movement with a 50-hour power reserve.
