Swatch works in collaboration with HODINKEE on the new 'Sistem51Blue Edition,' which marks the second joint project between the two labels. The new timepiece is designed with an inspiration of the brightly colored plastic watches by Swatch that originated in the 80s and 90s era. The new Sistem51 watch is complete in a blue case, connected together with a silicone strap in the same blue color, with a dial in a gray-blue tone.
The date display takes place at the 6 o'clock position, moving from the original 3 o'clock position for a symmetrical aesthetic. The watch's back boasts a clear look in order to showcase the automatic interior movements of red and white colors. An additional detail includes the impressive 90-hour power reservation.
