As @dj57 mentioned in the other thread, Swatch has done another bit of madness- a Fifty Fathoms Swatch. I was skeptical but it actually looks pretty cool… if you’re into plastic Swatch watches…which I am :crazy:

Here’s the specs:

Case material: Bioceramic case including crown

Case diameter: 42.3 mm

Case thickness: 14.4 mm

Lug-to-lug distance: 48.0 mm

Movement: SISTEM51 mechanical movement

Water resistance: 50 fathoms (91 m / 300 ft / 9 bar)

Glass: biosourced material with anti-scratch coating

Hands, hour markers, 60 minutes diving scale: Grade A Super-LumiNova®

Bezel: one-direction rotating bezel in beige Bioceramic material with anti-scratch coating insert in orange

Strap: NATO strap made from recycled fishing nets removed from the sea

Four hundred $US, not sure if it’ll be on the list for me, I can build a lot with that. A pretty cool watch tho.

I wonder, could we do an @Emilio 3652 in color tinted acrylic? Cause that would be the plastic watch to have ya?

not so bad...a bit pricey but you pay for the brand name I guess...at least it's an auto and looks swimmable....I like the blue and light grey...

Well if this is a Seatch Group trend I can’t wait for the Swatch Breguet Type XX
