With this one, however, the Moonshine Gold takes a backseat in favor of an abundance of dark green. The current bracelet is one of the biggest assets of the watch, and I would want to experience that with every single version, no matter what material it comes in.

While I respect the sophisticated luxury statement, I want the full experience with these Moonwatches. It’s the difference between a sophisticated luxury statement and an impressive, unapologetic luxury statement. This time around, we had the watch in the office on a green leather strap, and that affects the overall impact tremendously. So could the Moonshine Gold edition with its dark green dial have the same impact? Straight out of the gate, there was an important difference. The impact of the Moonshine Gold is different The impressive weight, the sparkling shimmer, and the brilliant silver dial make this something truly extraordinary. That character stays intact when you see the Canopus Gold version, but put it on your wrist, and there is this instant sensation of wearing something really special. Not only that, but it also fits the “ultimate tool watch” character of the Moonwatch really well. The understated beauty makes for a mightily impressive luxury statement for true Speedmaster fans. When I laid eyes on that watch, it was truly love at first sight. That Canopus version is my current favorite of all the precious-metal Moonwatches. In the introductory article, I mentioned that this green version is stiff competition for the Canopus Gold edition.

But can you blame Omega for expanding the realm of the Moonwatch by introducing a series of spectacular gold versions of its icon? Sure, it’s not historically related to any of the previous gold Speedmaster models. The color combination of Moonshine Gold and dark green added something new to the Moonwatch lineup, and overall, it was a massively impressive watch to see and wear. At the time, I was really impressed by this new version. I wrote the introduction article back in March, and we had the watches in the office for a short stint back then. This was not the first time that I got a taste of this new green version of the Moonshine Gold Moonwatch. Was it done right? Was this going to be the ultimate summer watch for me like the Moonshine Gold “Panda” version was for Lex? As it turns out, it takes more than a certain shade of green. Green, in particular, is a color that can ruin a watch completely if not done right. All jokes aside, that certain shade of green plays a big part in making this Moonwatch a hit or a miss. Go check that out as background music for reading this article my guess is that you will be done reading in no time. If you know something about rock music, you might know that “A Certain Shade Of Green” is the title of a great song by the band Incubus. Green seems like an odd choice for the Moonwatch, but the reality is that a great design can use a bit of green. The latest addition to the lineup is the Moonshine Gold version with a dark green dial. But if you are a fan of the Moonwatch in general, you might have enjoyed the diversity of gold models that Omega has released. If you are a purist, you have probably raised an eyebrow or two with the introduction of the different gold versions of the watch.
Is this a good thing? It depends on how you look at it.
The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch collection is growing, and it is doing so at a rather rapid pace.
