Luxury Swiss watchmaker Swatch has launched its Colors of Nature collection, a concise ensemble of timepieces that boast soothing, minimalist designs inspired by the great outdoors.
The new watches' case, bezel, and crown are made from a unique material called BIOCERAMIC, which blends ceramic with bioplastic to create an eco-friendly construction with a one-of-a-kind "soft touch" finish. In addition, the entire line is both scratch-resistant and waterproof up to an impressive 30 bar. The watchs' straps are also crafted with bio-sourced materials and arrive in colors that match the timepieces' case, bezel, and crown.
In total, the capsule includes five new models, each arriving in a unique colorway inspired by a specific landscape. These include BIOCERAMIC Forest, BIOCERAMIC Basalt, BIOCERAMIC Canyon, BIOCERAMIC Arctic, and BIOCERAMIC Desert.
