A collection that combines the watchmaking nostalgia of the nineties with today’s biotechnological audacity: SWatch Scubaqua is here to immerse yourself in a colored revolution.
Swatch opens a new chapter with a collection of underwater clocks that are much more than a simple summer fashion accessory. They are at the same time an aesthetic provocation, a technological experiment and a tribute to the nineties. This is Swatch Scubaqua!
In a world where we often take watches too seriously, Swatch SCUBAQUA Like a cold shell on hot cement. The Swiss, known for their precision and discipline, this time opted for something completely different: a watch inspired by a jellyfish. Yes, you read well. Jellyfish. Those transparent aquatic spirits that dance with elegance through the oceans have inspired five new colored models that together form the most radical reinterpretation of the underwater clock in 2025.
Bioceramic meets biology
Forget about steel. For some time Swatch flirts with the materials of the future and Scubaqua is the maximum expression of this philosophy. The case of these 44 mm watches is made with the legendary Swatch Bioceramic – A fusion of ceramic powder and biosynthetic plastic, resistant and light at the same time. By combining the translucent parts made with a material derived from the ricino oil, we obtain a wrapping that recalls … well, a jellyfish.
The result? An aesthetic fusion of opaque and shiny surfaces, where light is reflected, refracts and plays in a way that would also fascinate the most cynical purist of the watchmaking.
The nineties are returning. This time with luminescence.
If in 1990 you wore a SWatch Scuba 200, you knew it was a watch that had nothing to envy to color. The new Scubqua collection not only revives this tradition, but enhances it. With a thickness of 15.4 mm and a distance between the 51.5 mm anse, the watches are robust but still wearable. And don’t worry: water resistance 100 meters This means that you can also wear them in the water, which is not obvious in the world of “underwater” watches.
And yes, the hands and indices light up. Although Swatch has not explicitly confirmed the use of super-luminova, the experience shows that it is something very similar: the luminescence is brilliant, persistent and ideal for night adventures under water or … to find the keys under the car seat.
Five color posters: Swatch SCUBAQUA
Scubaqua is available in five versions, each of which represents a different species of jellyfish and therefore a different watchmaking personality:

Corona at 10 am? Yes, this “wrong” decision is actually very well -deceived: it improves comfort on the wrist and reduces the risk of accidental rotations during the activity.
Conclusion: Swatch Scubaqua – What should not be missing in the collection
Swatch SCUBAQUA It is not a watch for the watchmaking snobs. It is a watch for those who know that design can be bold, fun and at the same time technically sophisticated. It is the chronometric response to the question: “What would happen if the underwater watches decided not to do not seriously?”
Per 150 dollars (about 140 euros) Give yourself a piece of orderly anarchy: a watch of biological inspiration, aesthetically radical and technically surprisingly capable that this summer will embellish the wrists from Biarritz to Bohinj.
