Swatch throws 25th party for Plastic with Sporty new Chrono Collection

August 2008


It’s party time at Swatch (again!) as the famed inventor of the world’s first plastic watch presents a brand new collection based on – what else? – plastic! The new Swatch Chrono Plastic Collection evokes the time, 25 years ago, when Swatch first took the world by surprise.

Uniting Swiss-quality watchmaking with advanced design and superb technology, Swatch put plastic and watch together for the very first time. A sensational achievement, the plastic Swatch watch gave rise to a phenomenal popular cult and made the name Swatch a synonym for cool and desirable all over the world.

Today, Swatch celebrates 25 years of success with a tribute to its plastic past and a bold step into the future: The Swatch Chrono Plastic Collection presents six completely new models that combine durable, sports-ready materials with precise quartz chrono movements and the signature bright and trendy designs that invariably set Swatch apart.

The new collection’s trademark features include a handsome, ruggedized plastic case; a stylish rotating bezel; large, easy-to-use pushers and crown, and sporty rough & ready straps. Perfect for the young action-man or woman, each model is incredibly light, yet built to withstand the most extreme challenges of competitive sports, life in the city and nature in the wild.
