Product Description
Fulfill your need for speed with the Swatch Blustery stainless steel men's chronograph watch, which enables you to track races, running laps, and trips to the supermarket down to 1/10 of a second. The satin-finished silver watch case is topped by a flattened bezel with tachymeter readings, which can be used to measure time over distance. The metallic blue dial face includes three lighter blue chrono subdials with grooved accents, luminous baton hands (with seconds hand), white stick hour markers, small minute indexes, and a magnified, round date window at 5 o'clock. It's completed by a smooth, silver stainless steel bracelet band. Other features include precise Swiss quartz movement and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet)--enabling it to withstand splashes and snowspray, but not suitable for swimming.

A Swatch Chrono watch includes a stopwatch mechanism, which makes it possible to measure and record short times. By clicking on the push buttons, the hands of the chronograph (seconds, minutes, hours) can be started, stopped, or reset to zero. About Swatch
In the mid 1970s, the Swiss watch industry was in the midst of its worst ever crisis after facing stiff competition from Japanese-made brands. The Swatch brand was launched in 1983 with the original Swatch quartz watch, a slim plastic timepiece with only 51 components that combined top quality with a highly affordable price. Today, after sales of over 200 million watches, the Swatch Group has grown to include brands such as Omega, Longines, Rado, Mido, and Pierre Balmain as well as the original Swatch brand. The name "Swatch" is often misconstrued as a contraction of the words "Swiss Watch," but Nicolas Hayek, Chairman of the Swatch Group, affirms that the original contraction was "Second Watch."
