![]() ![]() A two-tone version, with bezel and bracelet links gold plated, even exists. Several styles are available, from traditional “sector” looks, to nautical themes and even an aviator style version, with black dial (the only with a brushed case). The hands are now made out of metal and not plastic anymore. Both are clearly more refined, with more discreet and more classical looks and some sun-ray or waves patterns. This stainless steel Swatch Sistem51 Irony not only feels more luxurious on the case side but this feel also goes for the dials and hands. This steel edition could be the option to enjoy a great automatic movement with an affordable price, on a daily basis – or just to enjoy the concept of the Sistem51 in a more formal style. More adult, more formal, more conventional maybe… However, wearing a plastic watch with fancy colors at work is probably not possible for all of us. Even if the shape of the Swatch Sistem51 Irony remains in the vein of the rest of the production (with the same rounded design and the specific 4 lugs to attach the straps), we now have a more serious look, with a case, a bezel and a crown in steel – and in option, the bracelet can even be made in this metal. The whole plastic concept (case, bezel, crown and bracelet) is here replaced by a full metal look, with all the external parts being crafted in stainless steel. After showing us the hyper-innovative – possible game-changing – Sistem51 in the traditional plastic case, the same movement is now used in a more serious version, the Swatch Sistem51 Irony. In steel yes, but with the same impudence. Thus, having a Swatch cased in stainless steel sounds like a weird idea, and this is exactly why the metallic range of Swatch is named Irony. This feature is simply part of the overall idea of Swatch and their DNA – it’s like the red color of a Ferrari, it’s closely interrelated. For those who are resistant to plastic cases, here is the new Swatch Sistem51 Irony, the automatic Swatch now released in Steel.įrom the very beginning, in 1983, when the concept was launched by Nicolas Hayek, Swatch watches were cased (and strapped) in plastic. This was the Swatch Sistem51 (that we extensively reviewed and explained here). You really don’t want to wear a luxury designer watch when you go hiking right? It would be a safer bet to use a sports watch with a rubber strap and a timer (even a basic digital watch).Remember, back in 2013, Swatch (the brand, not the Group) introduced a new watch that came like a blast,a watch in the same vein of the affordable and fun ideas of the brand, with an immense respect to the 1983 concept, but with a stupendous amount of innovation, as carried in its plastic case was the first automatic movement produced in-house by Swatch… and in a very specific industrial way. For example, you may be an outdoor person engaging in a lot of physically challenging activities, or you may spend most of your time in the boardroom or both or any other combination of activities! So it is important to select a masterpiece that suits your activities. ![]() Another insight is that, you should focus on obtaining the most functional watch (s) considering your profession and other interests. Once you get into this mindset you will be positioned to make a rational choice within your budget which will ultimately make YOU happier in the long run. The goal is to impress yourself and not others. Remember that you need to f eel satisfied with your purchase. ![]() Here are some more insights especially for you! Impress yourselfĪn interesting insight Geshan shared with me was that he’d select a watch not by looking at the brand, but by how unique it is in its styling. Now for those of you who think, “bigger the brand, the better it is”, if you personally don’t like how the watch looks or the general designs offered by the brand you deem “the best”, then we suggest that it is not the watch you should buy. I have bought multiple watches from this store and restored my late grandfather’s watch too. He is attached to one of the leading watch stores in Srilanka Wimaladarma & Sons.The interesting part about this is that I got to know him due to my weekly visits to one of the stores so I could enjoy glancing through new arrivals. Now, since I promised you a part 2 way more interesting than part 1. I got an additional contributor to this article- Geshan Wimaladharma. ![]()
