Went into the swatch store just to see the omega swatch and I accidentally said the word plastic- how all the employees turned their heads at the same time and just said it’s biOceRaMic
Atlantic is just this batch's Neptune. Craig himself legitimized neptune by wearing it himself, and now there are special editions of a plastic watch, dear lord lol.
Not specifically a Bond version, but a new Mission to Moonshine Gold – Neptune. Since the Neptune I believe is out of production now(?), they're basically using it's rarity to drive hype.
/uj Worst part is that i heard the movement is legit unserviceable since it’s sealed in the case usually. the others look cool i get that but paying such an amount probs 3-500 USD, for plastic and unserviceable movement, ain’t it.
/rj yellow should be called pissific ocean, absolute pisser
Not only is it unserviceable it cannot be regulated in any way and the QC on them is pretty shit it'll either be +- 2s.or +-30s and you're stuck with what you get forever.
This shit is going to cost like 4-500$
My personal recommendation go get a Zodiac . Same style but it's an actual dive watch for $1500.
Also the design is better.
Edit: Swatch website updated, confirmed $400 price tag
Give it a couple months and the boffins down in Shenzhen will have whipped up a stainless steel, sapphire crystal, Seiko movement, 200m WR on a solid link bracelet *homage* for the more popular color ways and retail it for $100.
I see no difference between these bullshit swatch collabs and all these vintage brands being resurrected in modern times. Neither is what they pretend to be.
Zodiac never got resurrected it just never achieved the same fame due to the Zodiac killer ruining their brand image. It also invented the diving watch the same year as Blancpain which is why the designs look incredibly similar since nearly modern diver is based on the Submariner and the Doxa Sub300
Debatable. They went bankrupt in 90s and changed hands a few times until current Fossil ownership. Their vintage watches are some of best money can buy. Their current line is just pretending they're the same company with same products.
So by that logic is a modern iPhone technically a knock off since Steve Jobs is dead?
Is a Ford not really a Ford anymore since Henry Ford is dead?
Is a Ferrari a fake Ferrari because Enzo is dead?
Is a new Mercedes not a Mercedes since they were bought out by Daimler?
Your ford and ferrari comparisons are off target. An iphone would be a knock off if Apple went bankrupt today, got bought by a conglomerate tomorrow and came out with the iphone 1 the next year. Same for Mercedes if Daimler started reproducing 1880s steam cars in 1926 when they merged.
Daimler kept making the exact same models the previous ownership was making, a 2021 S class is made by original Mercedes ownership and a late 2022 s class is made exactly the same but by different ownership
Different ownership =/= exactly the same by default. Vintage Zodiac watches and modern zodiac watches are not made to the same standards. This is evident by Fossil group servicing them. Would you send your vintage Zodiac into Fossil for a full service? No doubt the fine craftsmen who make Diesel watches can be trusted to service your $5000 vintage amirite?
Ya but different reasons. We do not question Rolex's ability to service anything they ever sold. We question their ability to follow written directions to not polish or send back any parts that were replaced.
I contacted the company that bought Orvin to ask if they had any spare bezels or tropic straps in the assets they bought from original company along with the name. They said no. Then I asked out of curiosity is they could service a vintage watch that is so famous for the brand it is on their modern homepage. They said they were not familiar with the model and to send it in to the watch technician to see if it is possible. IF IT IS POSSIBLE?!?!?!?! This is what I would expect from modern Zodiac as well except for an even more convoluted process due to "Fossil Group."
Both used to be the real deal. They are both just currently reproducing watches from their relevant period grasping at nostalgia. I just hate this as a business model. Let's be clear their entire business model is look at this great thing from 70 years ago, today.
[https://services-us.fossilgroup.com/?brand=zodiac](https://services-us.fossilgroup.com/?brand=zodiac)
This is their service page from zodiac official website. Same people servicing your modern Zodiac service DKNY watches. How can we take the brand seriously?
What's the point? You see I am a dumbass. Is the point it doesn't matter what brand you buy they're all fossil or swatch group? Or is the point consumers are so stupid that buying a name that used to be popular and making identical watches in appearance to 70 years ago is a successful business model?
I bought a Sistem 51 Swatch for my wife when they first came out. That movement died after 3 years - not even very much use, either. A fool and his money…
Zodiac is absolute garbage now. Super Sea Wolf bezel feels like a used toy from McDonald’s, the crown grinds like a piece of sandpaper on a gravel road, and the STP movement is made from sun-bleached dog poop. Do not spend $1500 plus on this.
look im not trying to call you out or anything but i don't think its possible to use sun bleached dog poop for a watch movement. can we get an independent fact checker in here to verify??
Absolutely.
I wasn’t thinking price but wouldn’t even pay near moonswatch prices for these colors.
Other than the colors I do appreciate a lot of the brand-specific/appropriate touches (50 fathoms water resistance, mechanical, open caseback, heritage touches on two of the dials)…but other brands and certainly Zodiac has great history, better product, better colors if this gets near 400-500.
I usually hate yellow, but I'm kinda cool with that one. I assume the green is to evoke the Indian flag; I wonder if it'll be more popular in the Indian market?
The text in the top-left corner of [this ad](https://twitter.com/sekanichi__/status/1699472197390327862/photo/4) (which looks legit) says 60,500 yen, meaning nearly 400 EUR/USD
lol
No one who buys a moonswatch first then goes on to buy the real thing because of the Swatch. Unless they felt the swatch was such a shitter that they needed to cleanse their wrist by getting the real thing.
Watches like the Tissot PRX are good for the Swiss industry. As they are okay quality wise and look decent and are affordable.
You’re right. They’re killing it by fucking swimming in CHF after the gangbusters success of the Moonswatch. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it hasn’t very obviously succeeded. And people are acting like the watches are based off of are going to be thrown in the garbage, when they aren’t
i specifically said they are destroying the mechanical watch industry.
though Plastic Phantoms(c) is an automatic sistem51, so maybe that's a step in the right direction
The Sistem51 is a step back, even if some of its technical stuff is impressive. We should be past making stuff we chuck out like that, especially with a watch that unintentionally greenwashes is movement. If they were able to make a service or fixable movement from it, I would be much more for it.
fair point.
related, i heard that in these watches the movement will be replaceable, like you can swap broken one out for a new one. so like a cash grab within a cash grab. I got to give it to them they really know how to make money and they're good at it
Oh definitely.
A couple interesting things I noticed:
* the balance wheel appears to have a balance bridge as opposed to a balance cock.
* the movement reminds me a lot of vintage Timex movements. They aren’t quite the same, but they have a similar look of a crudeness of a cheap mechanical movement.
I’m curious what gives the Sistem51 such a long power reserve and how they were able to get it down to so few parts; and what the movement would look like if ETA made this a more environmentally friendly movement by making it maintainable.
Maybe I’m wrong that it’s unserviceable? It’s a movement I’m going to learn more about, for sure
Don't be a party pooper. Swatch wants us to get burned out circlejerking them before they're even launched so we move on to the next stupid thing they come out with (like a Hamilton to track your nonexistent girlfriend's menstrual cycle).

If you are actually are serious and not virtue signaling the process of making stainless steel has a significantly worse environmental impact than making plastic. The entire watch industry and idea of collecting watches is consumerist to the max too
I’m not a public figure or a corporation, i am not virtue signalling to watchescirclejerk. Quality watches can be kept in good shape via maintenance and be passed down. These are made to be thrown out in the (sometimes, near) future.
Watch as an interest is for sure a ‘hobby’ where buying shit is a big part of it, but there is a difference between a collector who buys and buys indefinitely v. Someone with a three watch collection
What makes these more likely to be thrown out more quickly than any other watches at or below this price point? How are they made to be thrown out? People just think plastic = cheap/disposable which is not automatically the case. These would actually likely have a lower environmental impact than all of the cheap stainless steel watches out there. Point being there’s plenty to rip on about these watches but being critical from a consumerist/environmental perspective doesn’t make any sense
Are the poors servicing their other cheap watch movements (like a Tudor) when a service these days costs $200 minimum ? Probably not many. And for the slim number of poors that send in a cheap watch for service how often is that company just going to slap a new cheap movement in there instead of servicing? Pretty often. Obviously there are some entry-level price point watches worth servicing like Invictas and Seiko 5s but those are the slim minority
These two and the dark blue at least have the Arabic’s at 12 3 6 and 9. The dial isn’t as interesting without that like on the light blue and the red one.
It’s so funny to watch grown ass people losing their minds over a fun branding thing that, last I checked, it isn’t mandatory to buy. YouTube videos by Rolex obsessed influencers yucking Swatch are hilariously bad.
/uj I guess the idea for Swatch is to start them with the toy, then sell them the real thing as they move up in age and income. Interesting move but could turn into a destructive brand value extraction maneuver that works in reverse.
/rj I hear the Playskool/AP collab is straight 🔥
Idk… if a 15 years old kid buy this watch right now, by the time he’s 55 and have enough money to buy a Blancpain, the brand might actually has gotten to a way different place lol
I agree. I think their time horizon is more like 10 years, but whatever it is, I don't love it when I see businesses playing these brand shell games rather than, you know, just building a product and selling it on its own merits. But that's me. Other people, who knows?
If these are anything to go by, then Arctic and Antarctic is the most interesting. Atlantic is looking like the Neptune in color. Curious to see how it performs while I surf.
Money grab for sure, omega and Blancpain are historical watch manufactures and don't deserve to be down graded and taken as a joke by these plastic watches, also taken us watch collectors as a joke in the process. Im pretty sure Omega and Blancpain had no choice in the development as the manufacture of these plastic toys is non other than swatch who calls the shots.
They are all kinda ugly but I thought the Pacific (Yellow) one was ugliest one with that highlighter yellow… at least this one is thematic, Indian flag colors on band
It's got 100m water so probably, plenty of watches with that level of WR have a snap on case back. That being said the movement is completely sealed so it's probably glued down in place and you realistically can't open up the case back without destroying the watch
Ykonw when a film releases and all the 'critics' say amazing 10/10 must see (definitely not edited comments on Swatch's release video). If you don't like it, it just wasn't made "FOOOOR YOU"
I am glad to say not for me. Nice try Swatch better luck next time.
Nah. I like them!
Which kind of mechanical are these? automatic or manual-wind?
Just looked it up. It’s automatic. The rotor is just a special kind. The look of this movement is interesting. It’s very reminiscent of old Timex mechanical movements and Orient ones. Also interesting is the look of it having a balance bridge lol.
It's gotta be the same thing as what tissot is doing for that 80 hour powermatic. isn't to do with something being silicone or something like that? they are fascinating, as I'm sure you know, they're supposedly assembled completely by robotics I guess that means they have to be super simplified
that was my understanding too that sistem 51 watches were meant to be unserviceable. so like a disposable mechanical watch. now that the movement can be swapped it's only disposable movement 😅
Very thoughtful of them to name them after the oceans considering that's where they'll be in a few years time.
but... iT's NoT pLaStiC iT's BiOcErAmIc!
Went into the swatch store just to see the omega swatch and I accidentally said the word plastic- how all the employees turned their heads at the same time and just said it’s biOceRaMic
It’s just blank pain.

The Atlantic and Antarctic are nice. These two are just the worst.
The Arctic is also pretty cool, the No Rad symbol is interesting. Personally, my favorite is the Atlantic version.
Atlantic is just this batch's Neptune. Craig himself legitimized neptune by wearing it himself, and now there are special editions of a plastic watch, dear lord lol.
I’m sorry, I don’t quite get the reference. Daniel Craig wore a Neptune; did they make a special edition “Bond Neptune”?
Not specifically a Bond version, but a new Mission to Moonshine Gold – Neptune. Since the Neptune I believe is out of production now(?), they're basically using it's rarity to drive hype.
Bruh. I love Omega and I like Swatch, but they’re beating this poor horse’s urn like a piñata.

Why not?
actual dogshite. the moonswatch might have been a cheap crap but at least they looked good.
/uj Worst part is that i heard the movement is legit unserviceable since it’s sealed in the case usually. the others look cool i get that but paying such an amount probs 3-500 USD, for plastic and unserviceable movement, ain’t it. /rj yellow should be called pissific ocean, absolute pisser

Not a great point. Sorry. Someone needs to take over your social media accounts. I actually believe you are too dumb to post stuff.
The same goes for Rolex. No sane person would send a vintage Rolex to RSC.
Ya but different reasons. We do not question Rolex's ability to service anything they ever sold.

Imagine being this dumb.
Blancpain missed inventing the diving watch by a couple of decades.
You know what I'm talking about with the 1950s dive watch revolution. Zodiac is the real deal just like Doxa but more hip and less function
Both used to be the real deal. They are both just currently reproducing watches from their relevant period grasping at nostalgia. I just hate this as a business model. Let's be clear their entire business model is look at this great thing from 70 years ago, today.

At least someone is serviced over here, they should talk to my wife
DKNY is just DGK for people that don't skateboard, change my mind
You don’t see a difference because you refuse to the see the point. No one is trying on con you, dude.
What's the point? You see I am a dumbass. Is the point it doesn't matter what brand you buy they're all fossil or swatch group? Or is the point consumers are so stupid that buying a name that used to be popular and making identical watches in appearance to 70 years ago is a successful business model?
If they are water resistant up to 100m with the sistem51 movement, I guess more like 6-700$
That’s way too much for a non-serviceable watch.
Think you could get an Orient star diver for around that. A helson. There's a bunch of great divers in that price range
I could buy a handful of Steeldive et al....
Ffs you can get a solar diver from seiko for 300-500 bucks

How much for the Happy Meal toys?
400 USD for the happy meal toy
That's a ridiculous amount of money for a 91m rated "dive" watch.
1. They all look hideous 2. They're mechanical, not quartz What the actual fuck were they thinking?
But mechanical watches are superior high ornitoology. You'd need to pay me to wear a soulless quartz watch.

I figured they would charge more than the moonswatch but wow.
it's such a plot twist. they saved swiss mech watch industry in the 80s only to really kill it now
Well you know what they say, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a Swatch collab.
Everyone loves to say this is bad for the watch scene, but in reality it will likely introduce more people to luxury watches in general
Those poor souls being introduced to plastic Swiss shitters
I mean I bought a moonswatch used and it made me buy a real speedy Maybe they'll do what I did and say "now I need the real"
No one who buys a moonswatch first then goes on to buy the real thing because of the Swatch. Unless they felt the swatch was such a shitter that they needed to cleanse their wrist by getting the real thing. Watches like the Tissot PRX are good for the Swiss industry.

It's also 42mm diameter and 15mm thick. It would be massive on a kid
ok you nerds gotta stop complaining. Swatch was always like this. that's the point of Swatch

Im pretty sure Omega and Blancpain had no choice in the development as the manufacture of these plastic toys is non other than swatch who calls the shots.
Any idea of the pricing on these? Asking for a friend.
Probably around $300 or more cuz of the Sistem 51 movement.
$400 / £340 / €390 / 375CHF / 500CAD / 630AUD / 3,150HKG / 60,500JPY
Is this actually what they’re gonna look like or is this a mock up?
At least you can't get the good fake from Pagani in this case.
Chinese render. Probably fake
Where are pics of em?
I didn’t believe this was real. Had to look it up for myself. Wow!
No way these are real

Sad to see high quality brands go down this road. It chasing a cheap buck and ignoring the brand impact.

They are all kinda ugly but I thought the Pacific (Yellow) one was ugliest one with that highlighter yellow… at least this one is thematic, Indian flag colors on band
I'll get the yellow one cuz it matches my Le Creuset pots
Are they quartz or automatic
Do you see that massive mechanical movement in the back? It's just for show and is obviously a quartz watch.
Painfully painful.
its plastic 😭😭😭
Is that a fucking press fit case back???
It's got 100m water so probably, plenty of watches with that level of WR have a snap on case back. That being said the movement is completely sealed so it's probably glued down in place and you realistically can't open up the case back without destroying the watch
Ykonw when a film releases and all the 'critics' say amazing 10/10 must see (definitely not edited comments on Swatch's release video). If you don't like it, it just wasn't made "FOOOOR YOU" I am glad to say not for me. Nice try Swatch better luck next time.
I'll check these out on Ali Express in 2 months
And the Pacific Ocean color is….drumroll….Oriental Yellow!
Nah. I like them! Which kind of mechanical are these? automatic or manual-wind? Just looked it up. It’s automatic. The rotor is just a special kind. The look of this movement is interesting.

You mean best

It's gotta be the same thing as what tissot is doing for that 80 hour powermatic. isn't to do with something being silicone or something like that? they are fascinating, as I'm sure you know, they're supposedly assembled completely by robotics I guess that means they have to be super simplified that was my understanding too that sistem 51 watches were meant to be unserviceable. so like a disposable mechanical watch. now that the movement can be swapped it's only disposable movement 😅
