Uplift The Holiday Spirit With 14 New Swatch Watches
Are you having trouble warming up to the holiday spirit? Say no more; I know exactly what you mean. The key to enjoying it — mind you, this is my approach to all the days surrounding Xmas, so it’s by no means a solution for everyone — is to not take everything too seriously. And that includes family members and friends who take the festive season seriously. Just take it easy, smile, and laugh about everything going on. Wearing something fun on the wrist could help you keep a smile during the festivities. You could keep your spirits up by trying one of 14 new Swatch watches ranging from tongue-in-cheek chic to outrageously colorful.
Mind you, the 14 new Swatch watches are not designed for therapeutic purposes. These are party-ready pieces for everybody. The new watches range from stylish and subtle to exuberant and colorful, but what they have in common is a strong disco vibe. Let’s dance through some of the highlights.
Take your pick from these 14 new Swatch watches
On the right, the Poppingly Pink (YVS532) is a 43mm steel chronograph that turns up to the party with a light pink sun-brushed dial with lighter pink sub-dials. This US$190 / €195 model also has contrasting black printed numerals and hour markers along with a black-on-white date indicator at 3 o’clock. The 47mm Thru The Underbrush (SB07S118) has a steel case and a transparent open dial revealing the quartz movement below. It comes dressed in khaki green and has a price of US$195 / €195. The Audacious Acai (SB07S120) costs the same and has similar looks but with a silver-colored open dial featuring dark pink movement elements, dark pink hour markers, and dark purple minute markings. Does it surprise you that the strap is also purple?
To “Pay!” or not to “Pay!” — that is the question
The Swatch Neon Party To The Max is a 47mm chronograph from the Big Bold collection. It’s a hyper-vibrant watch inspired by the 1990s Grand Prix (SCJ101). The multicolored dial with a vibrant minute track and tachymeter scale pairs up with pink hands for the hours and minutes and a dark blue chrono seconds hand, all with a glow-in-the-dark effect. Two versions of this watch are available — one with the SwatchPay! function (SB06N101-5300) and another without it (SB06N102). It costs US$160 / €160 for the standard version, while the watch with SwatchPay! will set you back US$175 / €175.
A delightfully nutty taste
What’s your favorite Xmas dessert? Do you like hazelnut pudding? If so, you can match it to the Hazel Delight (SYXS158). This ultra-slim watch features a light brown central dial with a sun-brushed finish, an ivory-colored printed outer ring, and dark brown printed hour markers. The black hour and minute hands with luminous material provide good readability during candlelight dinners. Paired with the 38mm shiny steel case and buckle is a matte dark brown strap. The result is contemporary with hints of tradition. If you don’t like brown or are allergic to hazelnuts, there is also the light purple Lyrically Lavender (SYXS157). Both watches have a price of US$170 / €175.
