Introduced for the first time in 2019, the BIG BOLD collection stands as a symbol of urban streetwear in the world of wristwatches, notably for its attention-grabbing 47 mm watch case. Over the years, BIG BOLD has seen the introduction of vibrant new styles, colour variations, and the incorporation of BIOCERAMIC components.
Swatch, known for its provocative and playful approach, is committed to maintaining a fresh, relevant, and non-conformist identity. While traditional stainless steel watches often result in subtle designs, the BIG BOLD IRONY series defies this convention. These timepieces are unapologetically bold, and confident, and serve as daring conversation starters when worn on the wrist.
The initial release of the BIG BOLD IRONY collection for the spring/summer season made a bold statement by combining contrasting colours and materials in a post-modern fusion. For the first time, the collection featured a BIOCERAMIC core paired with a stainless steel case, resulting in an angular, multi-level, and high-tech aesthetic. Urban details take centre stage, with the BIOCERAMIC plate, skeleton dials, and bi-compressed structured strap available in five striking colour options: black (DARK IRONY), azure (AZURE BLUE DAZE), red (RED JUICY), turquoise (MINT TRIM), and yellow (BOLDEN YELLOW). Despite their robust appearance, the sand-blasted stainless steel case and crown are surprisingly lightweight at just 108 grams. For an extra dash of flair, the hands and index markers are equipped with glow-in-the-dark features, and in keeping with the BIG BOLD tradition, the crown is positioned at 2 o’clock.
For the latest season, the BIG BOLD IRONY watches feature a range of rich and metallic tones, thanks to their prominent sun-brushed dials, available in five attention-grabbing shades that are impossible to overlook: turquoise (AQUA SHIMMER), dark green (FOREST FACE), navy blue (INDIGO HOUR), amber (AMBER SHEEN), and burgundy (SCARLET SHIMMER). The sand-blasted finish applied to the case, crown, and bracelet is a new treatment developed exclusively by Swatch, providing a rich and eye-catching matte appearance.
With these innovative models, Swatch continues to push the boundaries of bold design and style.
