The launch of the original 11 MoonSwatch models in March 2022 generated global enthusiasm. A collaboration between [Swatch](/source/Swatch) and [Omega](/source/Omega), the MoonSwatch collection combined Swatch's affordability and Omega's iconic Speedmaster design, creating a frenzy among collectors and casual watch enthusiasts.

The release quickly gained viral attention on social media, with many praising the collection for making an iconic design more accessible. However, demand far exceeded supply, leading to stock shortages and long-term resale markups on secondary markets.{{cite web |url=https://www.watchpro.com/moonswatch-price-settles-below-1000-as-swatch-promises-enough-supply-for-everybody/ |title=MoonSwatch price settles below $1,000 as Swatch promises enough supply for everybody |author=Rob Corder |date=2022-03-31 |website=WatchPro |publisher=WatchPro |access-date=2024-12-02}} Initially, the watches were available exclusively at select Swatch boutiques, with no online sales option, further heightening their allure. This strategy drew both praise and criticism: some admired the exclusivity, while others expressed frustration over limited availability and lengthy queues. Despite these challenges, the MoonSwatch was widely celebrated for revitalizing interest in the watch industry and attracting a new generation of enthusiasts. According to CEO [Nick Hayek](/source/Nick_Hayek_Jr.) of Swatch Group, the release of the collaboration also boosted sales of the original Omega Speedmaster by roughly 50%.{{cite news |last1=Hoffman |first1=Andy |title=Omega Moonwatch Surges After Cheap Swatch Version Goes Wild |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-08/omega-moonwatch-sales-surge-after-cheap-swatch-version-goes-wild#xj4y7vzkg |access-date=5 August 2022 |publisher=Bloomberg L.P. |date=8 Jul 2022}}{{Cite web |title=MoonSwatch: meet Swatch's take on the Omega Speedmaster |url=https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/features/products/watches/omega-moonswatch/ |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=CAR Magazine |language=en-gb}} == Models == {| class="wikitable sortable" ! # !!
