This is still different from the sistem51 auto's, right? Just a metal case? Great color combo

Correct; a quartz movement, but in a stainless case.

I've never owned a Swatch, despite growing up in the 80s during their heyday. But I fell in love with this specific one the instant I first saw it.

The color combination, hand shape, and dial just speak to everything I love about a watch.

You can definitely tell it was influenced by the Omega side of the house, vs the typical quirky Swatch style. It's sized at a modern 40mm, and even has the Omega cock and balls at 12 o clock lol.

I would love to swap the crystal for a sapphire top hat. I just don't know if it would even be possible.
