In 2025, the international gold price continued to rise, which led to a gold watch craze. Looking at the industry, in addition to the traditional gold and rose gold, some high-end brands under the Swatch Group have also developed exclusive precious metals. Among them are Moonshine gold, bronze gold, Breguet gold, etc. They have their own characteristics in composition and appearance. Let's briefly introduce them below.
Omega's exclusive Moonshine gold is lighter in color than traditional gold, with a cool moonlight silver luster, which is also the origin of the name. Moonshine gold debuted in 2019 with the Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition (Model 310.60.42.50.99.001). Moonshine gold is an 18K gold that contains 75% gold and is added with copper, silver and palladium. The addition of palladium replaces the zinc in traditional 18K gold, which improves the material's ability to resist fading and will not fade over time, which is its advantage. Moonshine gold has now been promoted to many products in the Speedmaster, Constellation and De Ville series. In addition to being used in Omega watches, the chronograph second hand of the MoonSwatch co-branded watch "Full Moon Hand" special edition with Swatch is also made of MoonShine gold.

Another alloy dominated by Omega is "Bronze Gold". As the name suggests, its main components include 50% copper and 37.5% gold (9K), with palladium and silver added. The addition of palladium can also inhibit the oxidation of copper, making it less likely to develop patina, and even after long-term wear, it can maintain a natural and elegant color. The color of Bronze Gold is between rose gold and bronze, showing a warm pink copper color. This material first appeared in the Seamaster 300 Bronze Gold model (model 234.92.41.21.10.001) released in 2021, and has now been expanded to the Seamaster 300M Diver's Watch (model 210.90.42.20.01.003).
Blancpain released the ACT 3 (model 5901-5630-NANA), the 70th anniversary model of the Fifty Fathoms series in 2023. The case is also made of bronze gold. This limited edition of 555 watches is based on the Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec "Hygrometer" watch supplied to the US Navy in 1957. It uses a 41.3 mm bronze gold case and reproduces the style of the historical original. In contrast, the historical original uses a "German silver" (an alloy mainly composed of copper, zinc and nickel) case, and the material also echoes it.
"Breguet gold" debuted in the Classique Souscription 2025 watch released this year. According to official information, Breguet gold is an 18K gold made of 75% gold with precious metals such as silver, copper and palladium, and its composition is similar to the Moonshine gold mentioned above. So far, only this watch is made of Breguet gold, but it is certain that this material is very likely to become the standard for Breguet metal watches in the future.
