"Exclusive Materials" for Luxury Watches - Gold

Currently, the exclusive materials championed by Omega are "Moonshine 18K Gold" and "Bronze Gold." Let us first consider Moonshine 18K Gold: it comprises 75% gold, enriched with additional elements of copper, silver, and palladium. Notably, the palladium replaces the zinc typically found in traditional 18K gold, thereby enhancing the material's resistance to fading. Moonshine 18K Gold made its debut in 2019 with the "Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition" (Ref. 310.60.42.50.99.001) and has since been extended to numerous new models across the Speedmaster, Constellation, and De Ville collections.

The other precious metal pioneered by Omega is "Bronze Gold." This is a 9K gold alloy consisting of 50% copper and 37.5% gold, with the addition of palladium and silver—a composition similar to that of the aforementioned Moonshine 18K Gold. The hue of Bronze Gold falls between that of rose gold and traditional bronze, presenting a warm, rosy-copper tone. Blancpain—a fellow brand within the Swatch Group—also utilized Bronze Gold in the construction of its *Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 3* timepiece (Ref. 5901-5630-NANA), released in 2023.

Hublot also boasts two exclusive precious metals: "King Gold" and "Magic Gold." King Gold incorporates an additional amount of platinum, which helps the case retain its color and luster for a significantly longer period. Hublot's first timepiece featuring "King Gold" was launched in 2012; since then, its application has expanded extensively across both the Hublot Big Bang replica and Classic Fusion collections. By precisely adjusting the proportions of copper and other metals in the alloy, it achieves a surface hue that is richer, deeper, and more reddish than that of standard rose gold. Magic Gold was jointly developed by Hublot and the EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne). Created by injecting liquid gold into cold-pressed boron carbide components under extremely high pressure, this material retains the distinctive color and luster of gold while possessing a scratch resistance unmatched by any other 18K gold alloy. According to brand specifications, Magic Gold boasts a Vickers hardness rating of 1,000—a figure that dwarfs the 400 rating of conventional 18K gold and the 600 rating of stainless steel.
