Swatch introduces the new collection entitled BIG BOLD PLANETS, which features four different designs in total. The brand draws inspiration from everything out of this world. The 47mm quartz quartet watch is detailed in colorful hues of green, orange, purple, and blue options.
The purple option is named Touchdown and has the launch countdown, the orange colorway is entitled 'Oops!' with printed and physical hour markers found throughout the design. The green design is entitled 'Come in Peace!' and houses a little alien, and finally the blue color is entitled 'Second Home.' It has a ringed planet with only the singular two o'clock position that can be seen. Each one has a textured matte silicon strap with a respective color alternative.
