Swatch’s Proteam Collection
Swatch COCO HO BLU (38mm) Ivory Dial / Ivory Silicone Strap SYXG127
Dive into surf icon Coco Ho’s world with this beautiful watch. Its ivory sunray dial exhibits gold-coloured baton indices and turquoise hour and minute hands. As well as this, and for an extra splash of colour, it features a turquoise outer ring. Capturing Ho’s love for the sea, a gold PVD-coated stainless steel case frames the dial. Measuring 38mm in diameter, it is small enough that it sits comfortably on the wrist, but large enough that it stands out from the crowd. Within this case lies the watch’s quartz movement; reliable and precise, it ensures accurate timekeeping. Continuing the ocean-inspired colour scheme, the watch secures with an ivory silicone strap. And for a unique twist, the strap has an Anodamazing effect. While Coco prefers to spend her time surfing the waves, this watch prefers to stay on shore; it’s only splash-resistant and should not be submerged in water.
The perfect mix of sporty and chic, this watch channels both the Hawaiian’s graceful nature and career by the waves effortlessly.
Swatch TIME WITH ANDY ANDERSON (41mm) Transparent Yellow Dial / Yellow Silicone Strap SO29J101
Ollie into Olympian Andy Anderson’s world with this striking timepiece. Its transparent yellow dial exhibits black luminescent details, such as the mushroom at 7 o’clock. In addition to this the dial features a mix of black dot and arrow-shaped indices, luminescent black hour and minute hands and a black second hand. Measuring 41mm in diameter, a matte yellow biosourced case, with biosourced glass, frames the dial. The case alone is extremely eye-catching, but to further accent it, it features a matte yellow biosourced bezel; with the names of various cities on it in black. A fire hydrant is a reoccurring feature on Anderson’s safety helmets, so drawing inspiration from this, the matte yellow silicone strap features various of them printed across its topside. The strap fastens with a matte black buckle. Not only does it provide great security, but it perfectly concludes the unique design Anderson’s dream watch.
Powered by a quartz movement, and with water resistance suitable for everyday wear, this watch mirror’s Anderson’s impressive skateboarding tricks. Nothing short of remarkable, it is positive to be a conversation starter when sported on the wrist.
Swatch THE PILGRIM – TREAD ON IT (47mm) Transparent Dial / Black Silicone Strap SB05K103
Descend into mountain biking superstar Sam Pilgrim’s world with this big and bold watch. Designed to look like the wheel of a bicycle, the transparent dial exhibits an array of grey spoke-like details. As well as this, the dial features luminous black and red hour and minute hands, and a solid red second hand. A 47mm transparent matte biosourced case, with biosourced glass, frames the dial, so expect a large presence on your wrist. The case is accented by a matte black biosourced bezel, with white Arabic numerals, and a matte red crown with a print of a singular white tooth; a fun detail as it represents the frontal tooth that Pilgrim is without. Continuing the mountain bike theme, a tyre-like black silicone strap secures the watch. Pilgrim’s multi-coloured signature, on the loop, provides a playful contrast to the otherwise plain strap.
Channeling Sam’s passion for mountain biking and his unique fun-loving personality, this watch looks like it’s fresh out of a bike shop; it’s the perfect companion to shred the trails.
Swatch G-TURN (47mm) Gold Dial / Transparent Silicone Strap SB05K105
Get a glimpse of BMX legend Matthias Dandois’ world with this oversized watch. Super sporty, its tyre-structured gold-coloured dial features a white ‘In Progress’ outer ring with a gold-coloured star ring; alluding to his great successes. The dial also features luminescent black hour and minute hands, and a white second hand, for optimal readability. Measuring 47mm in diameter, and providing home to the reliable quartz movement, a matte transparent biosourced case frames the dial. Moreover, to accent the case, a matte transparent biosourced bezel, with gold-coloured print, and black Arabic numerals also surrounds the dial. For a cohesive look, the timepiece is finished with a matte transparent silicone strap with a matte gold-coloured insert, matte gold-coloured loops and a matte gold-coloured half buckle. The loop features Matthias Dandois’ initials in gold, acting as a reminder of the legendary status he upholds.
A statement piece for BMX and watch enthusiasts alike, this watch impresses with its supersized yet understated design.
