A collection that brings together the horological nostalgia of the nineties with the biotechnological boldness of today – Swatch SCUBAQUA: is here to immerse you in a colorful revolution.
Swatch opens a new chapter with a collection of diving watches that are more than just a summer fashion accessory. They are an aesthetic provocation, a technological experiment and a tribute to the 90s all in one. This is Swatch SCUBAQUA!
In a world where we often take watches too seriously, Swatch SCUBAQUA like a cold shell on hot concrete. The Swiss, known for their disciplined precision, have decided to do something completely different this time – a watch inspired by a jellyfish. Yes, you read that right. Jellyfish. Those translucent aquatic spirits that dance gracefully across the oceans have inspired five new colorful models that together form the most radical reinterpretation of the diver's watch in 2025.
Bioceramics meets biology
Forget steel. Swatch has been flirting with the materials of the future for some time now, and SCUBAQUA is the ultimate showcase of this philosophy. The case of these 44mm watches is made of the legendary Swatch Bioceramic – a fusion of ceramic powder and biosynthetic plastic that is both durable and lightweight. Combined with translucent parts made from a material derived from castor oil, we get a body that resembles… well, a jellyfish.
The result? An aesthetic fusion of matte and shiny surfaces, where light reflects, refracts and plays in a way that would captivate even the most cynical horological purist.
The nineties are back. This time with luminescence.
If you wore a Swatch Scuba 200 in 1990, you know it was a watch that knew no shame in color. The new SCUBAQUA collection not only revives this heritage, it amplifies it. At 15.4 mm thick and 51.5 mm lug-to-lug, the watches are robust yet wearable. And don’t worry – water resistance 100 meters This means you can actually go into the water with them, which is not a given in the world of “diver” watches.
And yes, the hands and markers glow. Although Swatch has not explicitly confirmed the use of Super-LumiNova, experience shows that it is something very similar – the luminescence is bright, persistent and ideal for underwater night adventures or… finding keys under the car seat.
Five color manifestos: Swatch SCUBAQUA
SCUBAQUA is available in five versions – each representing a different species of jellyfish and thus a different horological personality:
- Lion's Mane (red) – for those who don't believe in subtlety.
- Black Sea Nettle (black) – urban classic with a minimal approach.
- Egg Yolk (yellow) – like the sun in a bottle.
- Blue Fire (blue) – cold, confident, digital.
- Aurelia Aurita (white) – neutral exterior, chaotically colorful pointers. TikTok-ready.
Crown at 10 o'clock? Yes, even this "wrong" decision is actually very well thought out - it improves comfort on the wrist and reduces the chance of accidental turning during activity.
Conclusion: Swatch SCUBAQUA – the one that should not be missing in the collection
Swatch SCUBAQUA It is not a watch for horological snobs. It is a watch for people who know that design can be bold, fun, and still technically sophisticated. It is the timekeeping answer to the question: “What if divers’ watches decided not to be serious anymore?”
For 150 dollars (approximately 140 euros) get a piece of ordered anarchy – a biologically inspired, aesthetically radical and technically surprisingly capable watch that will grace wrists from Biarritz to Bohinj this summer.
