Swatch Year of the Snake

Swatch introduces Year of the Snake collection

Two new watches spotlight the vibrant colours of the Chinese New Year

The Chinese New Year sees Swatch introduce a new Year of the Snake collection, with two new offerings: the Golden Red Bamboo and the Blue and Golden Lithe Dancer.

Vibrant colors and unique details reflect the symbolism of the occasion, with the year said to reflect a time of flexibility.

Measuring 38mm, the Golden Red Bamboo watch features a sun-brushed gold-colored dial with orange hour and minute hands that glow in the dark.

Its polished stainless steel case has a gold-colored PVD coating, paired with a tactile, intricately embroidered strap.

Elsewhere, the Blue and Golden Lithe Dancer is an oversized model measuring a chunky 47mm.

Its size, however, does not compromise its delicate nature. Decorated with a dark blue patterned dial, it also has gold-colored hour and minute hands that glow in the dark.

Detailed with a day-date window with white print at 3 o’clock, the Lithe Dancer has a case, glass and bezel made from biosourced material.

Both timepieces are water resistant to 3 bar and feature a Swiss-made quartz movement.

The Golden Red Bamboo watch costs $195, and the Blue and Golden Lithe Dancer costs $130.
