Swatch’s All-New Neon Watches
Swatch NEON JELLY (47mm) Multi-Coloured Dial / Matte Transparent Silicone Strap SB02K100
Big and bold, this watch draws inspiration from a 90’s Swatch Chrono: Jelly Stag. Its vibrant, multi-coloured dial features a tachymeter scale for extra functionality.

The yellow seconds hand has a glow-in-the-dark effect, so the wearer can always tell the time; even in low-light conditions. A matte transparent bezel surrounds the dial. Its orange crown and yellow chronograph pushers provide a playful contrast to the dial. A matte transparent plastic case also frames the dial. Measuring 47mm in diameter, it gives the watch both an oversized look and feel. Complementing the case, and concluding the model’s design, is a matte transparent structured silicone strap.

A perfect example of a revamp the dial has an almost identical design. But now it’s even more vibrant.

However, its size does not take away from its eye-catching aesthetic. Completing the design of this Swatch is a transparent matte pink structured silicone strap. Its transparent matte and blue loops and transparent matte blue buckle tie together the bright design perfectly. Powered by a quartz movement, and with water resistance suitable for everyday wear, Pink Podium is as pretty as it is practical.

A transparent matte yellow case with a matching bezel frames the dial. Measuring 42mm in diameter, it houses the precise and reliable quartz movement that powers the watch. Accented with transparent matte yellow and orange loops and a transparent matte blue buckle, a structured turquoise silicone strap concludes the watch’s bold design.
