These MoonSwatch Gold Suitcases will go under the hammer at Sotheby’s
Omega will auction 11 MoonSwatch Moonshine Gold suitcases through Sotheby’s. Each will contain all of the 11 Omega x Swatch “Mission to Moonshine Gold” timepieces.
A True First
This is the very first time that these rare models are offered together in one set, and the first time that the special suitcase is available to buy, giving fans the chance to own a truly unique compilation. 100 percent of the auction proceeds will be given to Omega’s long-term partner, Orbis International, who fight avoidable blindness and vision loss around the world
See The Goods
Before the auction concludes on 24 February 2024, the 11 “Mission to Moonshine Gold” suitcases will go on display at 11 Omega Boutiques around the world. Check them out at boutiques in Zurich, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, New York, London, Milan, Paris, and Sydney.
Orbis’s work is especially valuable for children, allowing many of them to see their parents, the moon, and the stars for the very first time. Through its programs and on board the Flying Eye Hospital, Orbis has provided care for millions of patients, while also training eye care professionals in areas with the greatest need globally.
The original MoonSwatch collection by Omega x Swatch made headlines in March 2022 when it was released to critical acclaim and high demand. Produced in revolutionary BIOCERAMIC, the 11 models drew their colourful inspiration from space and the planets, while also paying tribute to the legendary Omega Speedmaster.
A Unique Piece
The suitcases themselves are truly unique, as they contain a golden monocle with the Omega x Swatch logo, and a one-of-a-kind coin, engraved with the 3-letter aviation code from their displayed city (such as HKG for Hong Kong). This same code will be engraved on the side of all watches within the suitcase for that particular city.
The auction will be hosted by Sotheby’s and accessible globally online at Sothebys.com where the bidding will start on February 12th and end on February 24th- the next full moon. It’s a space inspired series that will create excitement across the planet.
