The Swatch Scubaqua Aurelia Aurita SSCU09K100 is a striking statement of contemporary dive-inspired design, merging technical capability with avant-garde aesthetics. Housed in a 44mm white bioceramic case with a transparent biosourced bezel, this quartz timepiece draws its name and inspiration from the ethereal Aurelia aurita jellyfish, reflected in the translucent layering and playful colour accents across the dial. The watch is part of the Swatch Scubaqua collection, engineered for underwater adventure with 100-metre water resistance, making it equally at home beneath the waves or on the wrist of the urban explorer.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to offer this distinctive piece from Swatch's aquatic range, a brand synonymous with Swiss precision and daring creativity. The Aurelia Aurita features a matte white bioceramic crown positioned at 10 o'clock, a design flourish that enhances ergonomics while maintaining the watch's symmetrical visual appeal. The dial itself is a captivating display of translucent layers, with colourful hand markers and indices that evoke the bioluminescent beauty of marine life. Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, this 44mm timepiece delivers accurate timekeeping without the need for manual winding, ideal for those who value both precision and ease of wear.
The white silicone strap complements the bioceramic case, offering flexibility, durability, and comfort for extended wear in any environment. With a case thickness of 15.4mm and a lug-to-lug measurement of 51.5mm, the Aurelia Aurita sits prominently on the wrist while remaining remarkably lightweight thanks to the innovative bioceramic construction. Whether you're drawn to the Scubaqua collection for its dive credentials or its bold aesthetic, this watch represents Swatch's commitment to sustainable materials and forward-thinking design.

FAQ
Q: What is bioceramic and why is it significant?
A: Bioceramic is an innovative material developed by Swatch, combining two-thirds ceramic with one-third bio-sourced plastic derived from castor oil. This sustainable composite offers the scratch resistance and lightness of ceramic while reducing environmental impact, making it a cornerstone of Swatch's commitment to eco-conscious watchmaking.
Q: Is the Aurelia Aurita suitable for swimming and diving?
A: Yes, with 10 bar (100 metres) water resistance, the Aurelia Aurita is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational diving. However, it is not designed for professional deep-sea diving or activities involving high water pressure impact.
Q: Does this watch require battery replacement?
A: Yes, as a quartz timepiece, the Aurelia Aurita is powered by a battery that will require replacement every 2-3 years depending on use. Cassim & Co. offers battery replacement services for all Swatch watches purchased from us.
Q: What inspired the Aurelia Aurita design?
A: The watch is named after the Aurelia aurita, commonly known as the moon jellyfish. The transparent layering of the case and dial, along with the soft colour accents, evoke the ethereal, translucent beauty of this marine creature.
Q: Is the silicone strap adjustable?
A: Yes, the silicone strap features a traditional buckle closure and can be adjusted for wrist sizes. Our team at Cassim & Co. can assist with sizing adjustments to ensure a perfect fit when you purchase.
Q: What is the accuracy of the quartz movement?
A: Swiss quartz movements are renowned for their precision, typically accurate to within +/- 15 seconds per month. This makes the Aurelia Aurita an exceptionally reliable daily timekeeper.
Q: Can I wear this watch every day?
A: Absolutely. The bioceramic case is highly scratch-resistant, and the silicone strap is durable and comfortable for all-day wear. The 100-metre water resistance means you need not remove it for handwashing, showering, or swimming.
