Swatch SCUBAQUA Collectıon: a Serıes of Colorful Dıvers
The new SCUBAQUA Collection even uses the same Bioceramic material found in the MoonSwatch, but in a way that, to my eye, is more uniquely Swatch. Based on the classic Swatch Scuba collection, the new SCUBAQUA watches are a thoughtful update using new materials with enhanced specs and a more contemporary feel.
The new SCUBAQUA watches are all about color and transparency, achieving what the brand calls the “jelly effect,” a principle common to many similarly transparent and colorful Swatches over the years. Each watch combines Bioceramic in the solid color sections of the case with castor oil derived biosourced materials for the transparent components. The dials in each variant are transparent, which give you a great view of the inner workings of the quartz movement underneath.
Each case measures 44mm in diameter with a rotating bezel made from biosourced materials. The strap is also made from this biosourced material and integrated to the case. A total of five colors are available at launch: Lion’s Mane (red), Black Sea Nettle (black), Egg Yolk (yellow), Egg Yolk (blue), and Aurelia Aurita (white). Reassuringly they are all water resistant to 100 meters, so while not “pro” divers by any means, these SCUBAQUA pieces can most certainly get wet during your own summer adventures.
