Singer Marco Mengoni spotted wearing Omega

Marco Mengoni Makes a Bold Statement with Green Omega Speedmaster in Moonshine Gold

Italian singer Marco Mengoni recently turned heads at a music competition with his choice of wristwatch. While we don't know if he will win the competition, he certainly won some watch enthusiasts' hearts with his green Omega Speedmaster in Moonshine gold.

The Omega Speedmaster is a legendary chronograph that has accompanied NASA astronauts to the moon and back. Its classic design and precise mechanics have made it a top choice for watch collectors and enthusiasts. However, Mengoni's version added a twist to the iconic timepiece with its green dial and bezel, which contrasted nicely with the gold case and bracelet.

The green color is not only trendy but also symbolic of nature, growth, and harmony. It also adds a touch of personality to an otherwise traditional watch. The Moonshine gold, on the other hand, is a proprietary alloy that Omega developed to replace the traditional yellow gold. It has a paler and warmer hue than regular gold, making it more versatile and contemporary.

Mengoni's watch has sparked a debate among watch aficionados about the merits of such an unconventional version of the Speedmaster. However, it also shows how watches can be a form of self-expression and fashion statement, apart from their functional and historical significance.

If you're interested in owning a green Omega Speedmaster in Moonshine gold like Mengoni's, be prepared to fork out around $12,000 for a new one or more for a vintage one. Nevertheless, it may be worth it if you want to stand out from the crowd and feel more connected to nature and style. Time will tell if Mengoni's choice of watch will inspire other singers and watch enthusiasts to follow suit, but for now, he stole the scene.
