Notes

This is one of the watches I like most. It has a quite clean design compared to the avarage Swatch timepiece, and I really love the black/orange color combination. This watch has been on my wrist daily for about two years while I was an university student; then sat forsaken in a drawer for about fifteen years. I just had to replace the battery and it started to run again. One thing I particularly apprecciate is how the battery is nearly completely seperated from the movement. This prevents any battery leakage from damaging the watch.
