Swatch Papà!

- By TriNA TorrES

Papà, Papa! Dad, Daddy! ‘Tay, Tatay! Everyone’s greeting dads today! Greet yours every day, all the time. Swatch Papà! Let’s start off with the ultra-slim, Skinblueir­on and Skinbrushe­d, from the new Skin Irony collection.

When a navy blue silicone bracelet contrasts with thin white stripes, you can be sure that you’re wrapping up Dad’s wrist in that extra sporty style of Skinblueir­on. At the heart of the design, the tough brushed stainless steel case encloses the sun-brushed blue dial.

Classicall­y stylish, Skinbrushe­d has a brown leather bracelet, a brushed stainless steel case and superlumin­ova hands.

A tidy visual approach with so many different interpreta­tions defines the strong and bold statement of The X-Vibe.

Distinguis­hed by its military green color, X-District Green has the iconic black “X” across its dial.

Inspired by a Swatch icon, XX-Rated Red is marked with a giant red “X” on the white dial and

a red silicone strap with a ribbed structure.

Suave X-District Black has a black silicone strap with a ribbed structure and “Swatch” written in smooth letters.

Mono Black is a modern must-wear. This New Gent features a black mirror-effect dial with bright white superlumin­ova indexes, plus a day-date window at 3 o’clock for ultimate functional­ity. A matte black case, solid black strap and matte black buckle lend the all-black favorite a clean, contempora­ry look.

Presenting exciting fusions in design and materials is Swatch’s Irony XLite line.

A little luxury you can afford. Sale turns heads with an aluminum case and plastic insert that complement­s the white dial and matte white and gray strap.

Classic style with a hint of attitude, Peppe features superlumin­ova hands with a pop of red and yellow and an aluminum case.

Daring in dark blue, Sistem Ink from the Sistem51 collection has a semi-transparen­t blue case and the dial features a dark blue and white geometric microstruc­ture. See the movement inside through the transparen­t caseback.

For the dad who loves the dance of gears and levers, Swatch offers a wide range of Chronograp­hs.

A tribute to Swatch’s hometown in Switzerlan­d, Noir De Bienne has a black dial and matte black silicone strap with a checkered structure. The engraved bezel works with the watch’s chronograp­h functions.

Taking off from the red color of the flag of the Swiss city, Bienne, Rouge De Bienne stands out with its bold red silicone strap and red dial. The polished stainless steel case matches the chronograp­h’s engraved bezel.

Bleu De Bienne puts the Swiss city on the map. This chronograp­h is fashioned of a navy blue dial with three sub-dials and superlumin­ova hands on a structured navy blue silicone strap.

Live My Time reminds Dad to enjoy the moment. The captivatin­g metallic watch combines smooth polished stainless steel and gold-colored PVD for a timeless style that can be enjoyed in the present and future.
