The Year of the Snake Swatch collection has been launched by the brand to provide consumers with a series of timepieces that pay homage to the Lunar New Year and offer them with a stylish way to prioritize good luck. The watch collection consists of two models including the Golden Red Bamboo and the Blue and Golden Lithe Dancer, which both prioritize an eye-catching profile. The timepieces each put snake-inspired details into the spotlight with both models featuring a three bar water resistance and glow-in-the-dark arms.

The Year of the Snake Swatch collection is a limited time offering only available via the brand's online shop and in-store for a short while. The watches come as a further evolution of the Lunar New Year fashion product market as brands reinterpret classic traditions with new imagery.
