Swatch Irony Sistem Navy Automatic YIS409 Men’s Watch: Cute and Futuristic

Swatch Irony Sistem Navy Automatic YIS409 Men’s Watch

The Swatch Irony Sistem Navy Automatic YIS409 Men’s Watch has an entirely automated manufacturing process, using 51 parts just like the original quartz Swatch watch. The Swatch Irony Sistem Navy Automatic YIS409 Men’s Watch gets laser-aided adjustments to avoid further adjusting; it’s Swiss quality and reliability holds till its last tick. The movement is airtight; sealed so that it never drifts and costs just one-fourth of what an entry-level Swiss auto does. Anybody who never owned an automatic watch before shall find the Swatch Irony Sistem Navy Automatic YIS409 Men’s Watch a romantic choice as much as the man appreciating everything that ticks via clockwork.

The tick of the Swatch Irony Sistem Navy Automatic YIS409 Men’s Watch is quiet; far subtler than some quartz movements’ grating electronic chunk…chunk…chunk. It is shower-proof but might not be against vigorous, water-sports sessions. Not even field sports like baseball and polo.

The rotor mechanism is clearly visible from the clear window at the back, winding the watch with great aplomb. The winding is loud enough to get noticed if whirred around, but strangely comforting. The entire movement is a real engineering feat, but no way traditional! It’s an incredibly simple movement shaped by highly complex manufacturing processes that pulls in 51 parts, spread around five interconnected modules using only one central screw. It includes 19 jewels and the regulating is done by machines, using only solders. The balance wheel assembly and adjustment receives laser adjustments to fix the chronometric rate. Both the balance wheel and the escapement are made from synthetic, anti-magnetic materials that assist further in fighting deregulation. So does the ARCAP made bridges and plates; the material is anti-magnetic and doesn’t get affected by temperature changes. The power-reserve is 90 hours; more than double of ETA’s or Soprod and it has an accuracy of + 7 seconds per day. This rate is very close to COSC chronometer requirements i.e. -4 to +6 seconds a day!

How reliable is the Swatch Irony Sistem Navy Automatic YIS409 Men’s Watch? The movement is solid and accurate, but what if a problem arises? Neither the balance wheel, nor the escapement mechanism is adjustable, so the only option remain is replacing the whole movement. Worry not; it comes cheap for the Swatch Watches.

Still, the Swatch Irony Sistem Navy Automatic YIS409 Men’s Watch comes with the attributes of expensive, serviceable timepieces like the hacking-seconds mechanism and the manual winding feature. That way, it is ahead of quite a few Japanese, entry-level timepieces.

Bottom line: The Swatch Irony Sistem Navy Automatic YIS409 Men’s Watch is an inexpensive and revolutionary automatic watch that made the watch industry go mad with excitement, followed by an extended quiet.

Swatch Originals Snowcovered Swiss Quartz GK733 Unisex Watch

Swatch Originals Snowcovered Swiss Quartz GK733 Unisex WatchConsider the Swatch Originals Snowcovered Swiss Quartz GK733 Unisex Watch as the first step towards spending wisely for fashion. It’s for those times when you like to save your disposable income, which will make affording a real high-end watch easier in the future.

Quality often suffers in those pursuits but this time Swatch - the most light-hearted brand from the Swatch Group – ensures that you don’t. Rather, expect some amount of playfulness that gels perfectly with the holiday flow. There’s no confused feeling about it; just smile and go with it.

That’s the beauty of a Swatch Original that turned the world upside down right from the start. Swatch has put its heart and soul into bringing out the creativity in simplicity; this time, minus the eye-popping colours. The amazing materials and an arresting design is; however, at par with the rest of the collection.

The Swatch Originals Snowcovered Swiss Quartz GK733 Unisex Watch is a stark contrast to the peppy, flashy and naughty designs that have kind of become synonymous to Swatch. So this time, they were to prove it’s possible to be popular with simplicity and carry beauty, harmony and precision without compromising on any of them.

At most, you can call it the festive watch with a day and date window and embossed numerals blending with the dial. Time is not that important amidst a festive mood but it also must not be the ‘holiday unknown’. You notice the time when you really want to, for the colours of holiday fun are far more spectacular to watch.

Despite being labelled as a Unisex timepiece, it is more fun for the ladies to wear it albeit men can also sport it when they dress full in white. It is a nice alternative to the more expensive horological toys during the times when you really don’t want to worry about what’s on your wrist; more so, for there’s nothing to be damaged in the watch, including the movement. Again, it is simplicity the Snowcovered owes to!

It’s the frosted look of the winters that’s going to cool you down during the hot months.

The Snowcovered from Swatch captures the love of frost on a watch! The all white face has frosted straps to match and stands out as a fashion piece with its pristine white colour scheme.

The Swatch Snowcovered Swiss Quartz GK733 Unisex Watch has been seen on the hands of Rosamund Pike in the movie What We Did on Our Holiday. This funny, dark comedy provided the perfect background for the Snowcovered to exhibit; simple but beautiful. As a part of the Originals, it too features a transparent case that’s just 34mm wide and 39 mm long. Sleek and stylish, its white band helps to bring the look together and catch the eyes.
