This striking Swatch Clearly New Gent Pay! watch reimagines transparency with bold design intent. The 41mm round bio-sourced polymer case frames a captivating skeleton dial—exposed mechanical architecture rendered visible beneath concentric circular guilloché patterns, overlaid with vivid red hour markers and matching hands that punctuate the neutral palette. The see-through construction reveals the precision of Swiss quartz movement at work, transforming timekeeping into a kinetic visual experience. It's a watch that celebrates openness, both literally and philosophically, ideal for the wearer who appreciates contemporary ingenuity over traditional concealment.
Part of Swatch's SwatchPAY! collection, this timepiece integrates contactless payment technology directly into the watch, allowing secure transactions with a simple wrist tap—no phone, no wallet required. The translucent beige polymer strap continues the theme of material honesty, secured with a matching polymer clasp that maintains the lightweight, all-day wearability Swatch is renowned for. Water-resistant to 3 bar (30 metres), it handles everyday splashes and rain with ease, though it's not intended for swimming or submersion. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised dealer of SWATCH watches, ensuring every piece is genuine and backed by the brand's international warranty.
The skeleton dial design isn't just aesthetic theatre—it's an invitation to engage with horology on a more intimate level, observing the interplay of gears and components that drive each second. The red detailing against the translucent neutral backdrop creates a dynamic contrast that reads clearly in any lighting condition, while the bio-sourced case material reflects Swatch's commitment to sustainable innovation without compromising durability. This is a watch for the urban explorer, the tech-forward professional, the individual who refuses to choose between function and form. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the Clearly New Gent Pay! in person, or take advantage of our nationwide delivery service across South Africa.
Whether you're drawn to its integrated payment capability, its transparency-driven design language, or simply the effortless versatility of a well-executed quartz timepiece, this Swatch delivers. Our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to support your timepiece long after purchase, ensuring your investment in Swiss ingenuity remains precise and reliable for years to come.

FAQ
Q: How does the SwatchPAY! contactless payment feature work?
A: SwatchPAY! integrates a secure payment chip into the watch, allowing you to make contactless payments at any terminal that accepts tap-to-pay transactions. You'll need to register the watch with a compatible banking partner through the Swatch app. Once set up, simply tap your wrist at the payment terminal—no phone or card required.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: With 3 bar (30 metres) water resistance, the Clearly New Gent Pay! can handle everyday splashes, rain, and handwashing without issue. However, it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. For aquatic activities, we recommend a watch with higher water resistance.
Q: What is bio-sourced polymer, and how does it differ from standard plastic?
A: Bio-sourced polymer is derived from renewable plant-based materials rather than traditional petroleum-based plastics. Swatch uses this sustainable alternative to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the durability, lightweight comfort, and design flexibility their watches are known for. The material performs identically to standard polymer in terms of strength and longevity.
Q: Can I see the movement through the skeleton dial?
A: Yes—the transparent dial reveals the internal architecture of the Swiss quartz movement and mechanical components. You'll observe gears, wheels, and other elements in motion, creating a dynamic visual experience. The concentric circular guilloché pattern adds depth while the red markers and hands ensure legibility.
Q: How do I replace the battery when it runs out?
A: When the battery needs replacement, bring your watch to Cassims & Co. or any authorised Swatch service centre. Our team will replace the battery using genuine Swatch components and reseal the case to maintain water resistance. We recommend professional battery replacement to preserve the watch's integrity and warranty coverage.
Q: Is the polymer strap adjustable?
A: Yes, the polymer strap is designed to fit a range of wrist sizes and can be adjusted via the standard buckle clasp. If you require further sizing assistance, our team at Cassims & Co. can help ensure a perfect fit when you visit our boutique.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes—this watch carries a 2-year international Swatch warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, providing peace of mind for your investment.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Swatch warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, strap degradation, or crystal scuffs.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable components.
- Accidental damage, misuse, improper handling, or water damage resulting from exceeding the stated water resistance is excluded.
- Unauthorised repairs, modifications, or servicing by non-approved technicians will void the warranty.
- To make a warranty claim, present your original proof of purchase along with the watch to Cassims & Co. or any authorised Swatch service centre.
- Swatch reserves the right to repair or replace defective components at their discretion during the warranty period.
Care Guide
- Clean the case and polymer strap regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust, oils, and residue. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Rinse under lukewarm water if exposed to saltwater, chlorine, or perspiration, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can affect the polymer material and dial clarity over time.
- Do not expose the watch to strong magnetic fields, which may interfere with quartz movement accuracy.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as it is only splash-resistant (3 bar).
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in the original Swatch presentation box to protect from dust and impact.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre to maintain water resistance and movement performance.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as the transparent polymer case may show scratches or cracks more visibly than opaque materials.
