The Gift of Colourful Watches

  • By Asaph Low

The Gift of Colourful WatchesNow that we have entered December, Christmas and the festivities are truly upon us. For a year that is riddled with ups and downs, injecting a bit of cheer is always welcome, especially when early signs of the situational outlook (Omicron) are not too good. Here is the Gift of colourful watches to inject some fun, cheer and delight with Christmas around the corner

Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar

Burgundy and red-gold take centre stage for the new Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar. Revolving around the warmth of Christmas, the colours invoke memories of spice mulled wine. Omega’s iconic pie-pan dial is clad in sunburst burgundy to complement Omega’s proprietary 18k red-gold alloy — Sedna Gold as seen on the fluted bezel, crown, watch hands, indices and the Constellation star. Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer annual calendar calibre 8922 powers the timepiece which displays the month and date. The next-generation movement is METAS certified for increased accuracy, magnetic and shock resistance.

Swatch X Peanuts

The Gift of Colourful WatchesWith six models available and a special Holiday Special edition, Charles M. Schulz gang’s all here with the Swatch X Peanuts collection. Styled with sharp silhouettes, bright colors and the loveable personalities of the gang, the collaboration is a trove of references to the Peanuts comic strips.

The Christmas special named CHOMP takes inspiration from the Peanuts comic strip depicting the fun wintry process of the Peanuts gang building snowmen and sledding. A witty stainless steel packaging doubles up as a dog bowl too for your own favourite dog (or beagle). Decked in biosourced glass and case, sustainability forms one of the core features of the Swatch X Peanuts collection as Swatch aims to preserve the Earth for future generations.

Casio G-Shock MTG-B2000 Series

The Gift of Colourful WatchesLook no further if you are unsure what colour to pick for your watch with the Casio G-Shock MTG-B2000XMG-1A. Inspired by the multilayered patterning of Rainbow Mountain, Casio reimagines the phenomenon with a psychedelic iteration of the popular G-Shock MTG-B2000 Series. The bezel is machined from colorful reinforced carbon base material that is created by laminating random coloured layers resulting in one that is truly unique from each other.

A rainbow ion-plated bezel ring, rose gold ion plating and translucent blue strap completes the gamut of colours that belie the watch’s rugged toughness crafted from metal, carbon, and resin. The estimated launch date for this model is Jan 2022, click here to be in the loop!
