Swatch Unveils Its New Four-Piece Clear Collection
Niko Pajkovic — February 8, 2022 — Fashion
Iconic Swiss watchmaker Swatch has launched its new Clear Collection, an ensemble of timepieces that come equipped with entirely transparent bodies and NFC chip integrations.
In total, the collection consists of four watches: the Clearly Big Bold, Clearly Gent, Clearly New Gent, and Clearly Skin models. The Clearly Big Bold -- a definite standout of the collection -- comes with a frosted matter 47mm case and 30 meters of water-resistant protection.
All models feature a bio-sourced plastic case, four-pronged stacked lugs, and a bezel, which comes accented by internal hands in a primary color scheme. In addition, wearers can use the built-in NFC chip to make contactless payments. Overall, the entire collection has a distinctly retro feel that draws inspiration from Swatch's '80s-era heyday.
