Swatch unveils the Pink Ocean (SO35P400), the latest colorway in its Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection, developed in collaboration with Blancpain. While maintaining the technical features and design ethos of its predecessors, this new iteration introduces a bold and playful pink hue, inspired by the vivid tones of the Ceratodoris rosacea nudibranch.
A New Color, Same Timeless Design
The standout feature of the Pink Ocean is its unique pink Bioceramic case and bezel, paired with a sun-brushed pink dial. This colorway draws inspiration from the natural beauty of underwater ecosystems, particularly the vibrant pink hues of marine life and landscapes. Like other models in the collection, the watch showcases:
- Grade A Super-LumiNova®: Applied to the hands, hour markers, and bezel scale for enhanced legibility in low-light conditions.
- Unidirectional Bezel: Crafted from Bioceramic, with a luminous 60-minute diving scale.
- A date window between 4 and 5 o’clock for added functionality.
Sustainability Meets Innovation
While the colorway takes center stage, the watch retains the Bioceramic material that defines the collection. This unique blend of two-thirds ceramic and one-third biosourced material offers exceptional durability and a lightweight, matte finish. Complementing the case is a biosourced glass crystal, underscoring Swatch’s dedication to eco-conscious design.
The NATO-style strap, made from recycled fishing nets, not only ensures comfort but also aligns with the watch’s commitment to sustainability. The pink strap loops and pin buckle, also crafted from Bioceramic, add a cohesive touch to the vibrant design.
