- R 1,650
The Swatch Ashbaya GG407 exemplifies the brand's signature approach to accessible Swiss watchmaking, combining vibrant colour with reliable quartz timekeeping. This 34mm timepiece features a sophisticated green gradient dial that transitions from deep forest tones at the perimeter to lighter shades toward the centre, creating a sunray effect that catches the light beautifully. The dial is finished with applied Arabic numerals and a practical date window at 3 o'clock, ensuring excellent legibility in all conditions.
Crafted from Swatch's proprietary bio-sourced plastic case material, the Ashbaya offers exceptional durability whilst maintaining a lightweight profile ideal for everyday wear. The matching green silicone strap provides comfort and flexibility, secured with a traditional pin buckle closure. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of the complete range of SWATCH watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and after-sales support.
Water-resistant to 3 bar (30 metres), the Ashbaya is suitable for everyday wear and can withstand splashes and brief immersion, though it is not designed for swimming or water sports. The reliable Swiss quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance, requiring only periodic battery replacement. Our watch servicing and repairs team can assist with battery changes and any adjustments you may need throughout the life of your watch.
With a case thickness of just 8.75mm and a lug-to-lug measurement of 39.20mm, this watch offers versatile proportions that suit a wide range of wrist sizes. The 18mm strap width maintains the balanced aesthetic characteristic of Swatch's Gent collection. We invite you to experience the rich green tones of the Ashbaya in person at our Mall of the South boutique, where our watch specialists can ensure the perfect fit and answer any questions about this distinctive timepiece.

The silicone strap can be adjusted for a comfortable fit, and our boutique staff can trim the strap if needed for smaller wrists.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Whilst the bio-sourced plastic case is durable, avoid impacts against hard surfaces that could scratch or crack the case and crystal.
- Water Exposure: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to chlorinated or salt water. Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet.
- Strap Care: Clean the silicone strap regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. Dry thoroughly before wearing.
- Storage: When not wearing your Ashbaya, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant green colour over time.
- Magnetic Fields: Although quartz movements are less susceptible to magnetism than mechanical movements, avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps.
- Chemical Exposure: Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and harsh chemicals, which can damage the plastic case, crystal, and silicone strap.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Never attempt to open the case yourself.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check that the crown is pushed fully in and that the strap and buckle are secure and in good condition.
