Reach for the stars! How to buy a MoonSwatch in Dubai
The product? MoonSwatch. The place? Dubai. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get your hands on one of these sought-after collectables. Where can you buy a MoonSwatch in Dubai? Available in just a few select stores, our guide reveals where you can find these trendy timepieces.
What is a MoonSwatch?
The Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection is a series of 12 wristwatches launched as part of a collaboration between Swatch and OMEGA. Their design is based on the iconic piece that was the first wristwatch worn to space as part of the Apollo moon missions — the Apollo Speedmaster Moonwatch.
The current series is themed after the planets, moons and suns of our solar system, with each piece being modelled on a journey to a specific astronomical destination. Examples include Mission to Mars, Mission to Earth and so on.
The Omega MoonSwatch was first introduced in March 2022. According to Swatch, the demand was overwhelming and they are working frantically to produce more MoonSwatches as soon as possible. The watches are only available in select Swatch stores throughout the world. Pre-bookings are not entertained and these watches are only available on a ‘first-come-first-served’ basis.
It’s important to note that the pieces are not part of a limited edition collection, so there’s still plenty of time to get your hands on these much-desired timepieces.

Below we’ve listed the varieties of this unique watch collection that is taking the world by a meteor storm. Why not get someone a MoonSwatch as a truly stellar present?
Moonshine Gold
The most recent and officially the 12th addition to the MoonSwatch series was launched in March 2023. The watch is basically a recreation of the Mission to the Moon piece with the seconds hand painted with Omega Moonshine™ Gold. As per the MoonSwatch website, the “pink Super-LumiNova detail” is a reference to the “Pink Full Moon of April.” How can you get your hands on one? Watch out for Mission to MoonShine Gold events which take place every time there is a full moon in different parts of the world.
Mission to Mercury

Mission to Venus
Your ladylove, or anyone who loves pink, will adore Mission to Venus. The powder pastel hue goes perfectly with the white VELCRO© strap. Completing the look are the minute, hour and second hands, also in pink.
