After a week of teasing, Swatch has revealed a successor to the phenomenally popularMoonSwatch.
Dubbed the Scuba Fifty, the watch is a collaboration with fellow Swatch Group member Blancpain and a playful reinterpretation of the Fifty Fathoms diving watch.
As with the MoonSwatch, the Scuba Fifty features a case made from a plastic Swatch calls Bioceramic. The watches each come with a matching fabric NATO-style strap (made from recycled fishing nets) and they are water resistant to a depth of 91 metres or 300 feet. Why the unusual water resistance rating? Because 91 metres is exactly fifty fathoms, of course.

All five watches have the same 42.3mm case design, but their dials vary slightly. The Atlantic, Indian and Pacific all have a date complication at the half-past-four position, while the Arctic and Antarctic differ, with their vintage-looking Blancpain logo and Fifty Fathoms motif, and lack of date window.

Given the movement and waterproofing, it’s no surprise that Swatch is charging more for the Scuba Fifty than the £228 MoonSwatch. It is priced at £340 and will be available from select Swatch stores from 9 September. Online availability is unknown for now.
