That’s the new Chinese zodiac symbol for this year.

One thing you can always guarantee with the turn of a new year is a new flurry ofwatches. While we’re likely to see interesting new designs throughout the year, the first few weeks are always adorned with designs celebrating the new year of the Chinese zodiac.

We already saw theCasio G-Shock modelreleased in December, and now the good folks over atSwatchhave unveiled the brands efforts. That consists of two pieces, designed to celebrate not just the Year of the Snake overall, but the wooden snake which is being celebrated in 2025.

The first model is dubbed theBlue and Golden Lithe Dancer. A part of the big bold collection, that features a larger 47mm case diameter, though a lug-to-lug measurement of just under 45mm and a case thickness of under 12mm should help to keep things a little more svelte on the wrist.

The other model is calledGolden Red Bamboo, and is much more in keeping with the classic Swatch models you’ll know and love. That’s got a really slim case, which is crafted from stainless steel.

It sits just 38mm across, and is just 5.8mm thick. That’s a really slim case measurement, and should make for a brilliant wearing experience. When coupled with the textile and leather strap, it should also be a really lightweight wearing experience.

Priced at £170 (approx. $211 / AU$ 341) for the Golden Red Bamboo model, and £115 (approx. $143 / AU$230) these are a brilliant, affordable way to celebrate the Year of the Snake. I can certainly see the Golden Red Bamboo model being the more popular of the two, even with its higher price tag.
