The new SCUBAQUA collection from Swatch debuts in five vibrant colours, each featuring a fascinating duality in its case construction. Solid Bioceramic sections meet vividly see-through parts for a beautiful visual contrast, blending the grounded reality of a timepiece with an ethereal quality. Because deep-sea jellyfish inspire the collection, every element is designed to enhance this oceanic narrative.
The crown, unusually positioned at 10 o’clock, offers both enhanced safety for aquatic adventures and a unique, almost whimsical asymmetry. Glow-in-the-dark details ensure readability in murky depths (or a darkened room), while the clear, coloured dial provides a literal window into the watch’s inner workings.
The SCUBAQUA collection also taps into Swatch’s watchmaking expertise. 10-bar water resistance allows it to withstand the elements, whether it’s the pressure of the sea or the unexpected splash. Transforming the functional dive watch into a vibrant accessory via Bioceramic elements and bio-sourced materials, Swatch further injects vibrancy and personality into daily life.
The five distinct colours aren’t just arbitrary choices either. Instead, Aurelia Aurita, Black Sea Nettle, Blue Fire, Egg Yolk and Lion’s Mane echo the brilliant hues of jellyfish species. Launched on 8 May 2025 at Swatch Singapore boutiques and online store, the SCUBAQUA watches retail at SGD213 each.
