Swatch Overpowered Watch SVCM1000 Slip on this Swatch Overpowered sports watch for men whenever you're feeling the need for speed and keep track of races, running laps, or dashes to the supermarket down to 1/10 of a second. The smoky gray translucent hardened plastic case is topped by a brushed aluminum bezel with gear-like texturing. The dial mixes black with large, swooping gray chronograph subdials, Arabic numerals at the 20-minute marks (in a sports-themed font), and large yellow hands (with black seconds hand). It also offers tachymeter readings around the outside edge of the dial, which can be used to measure time over distance. It's completed by a black textured silicon band with yellow accents with a brushed aluminum buckle. 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. Swatch Chronograph 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."
