Swatch celebrates the Year of the Dragon with a watch collection just ahead of the upcoming Lunar New Year on February 10th. It is designed with bold tones and draws inspiration from neon palettes and streetlights that are found in Asian cities. The capsule is comprised of five timepieces -- all of which are detailed with a dragon profile along the dial.
Each one of the watches is a different signature model by the brand and kicks off with the DRAGON IN MOTION chronograph with a gold tone. The DRAGON IN CLOUD is slightly clear with silver dial accents. The DRAGON IN COLD has a full golden design and slim proportions. It is rounded out by the black DRAGON IN WIND PAY! and the dark blue DRAGON IN WAVES.
