Description
The Swatch Futuristic Black (SO27B119) redefines contemporary Swiss watchmaking with its bold 47mm matte black case and mesmerising purple-to-black gradient dial. This striking quartz timepiece features oversized luminous Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, complemented by luminous dot indices and matching luminous hands for exceptional legibility in any lighting condition. The sleek black silicone strap with textured detailing ensures all-day comfort, while the distinctive bezel design adds a modern architectural edge to this sporty essential.
As authorised retailers of SWATCH watches, Cassims & Co. proudly presents this exceptional timepiece from the Monthly Drops collection. The SO27B119 showcases Swatch's commitment to accessible Swiss precision with its reliable quartz movement housed within a lightweight yet robust case construction.

The Futuristic Black's distinctive purple gradient dial captures light in ever-changing ways throughout the day, creating a dynamic visual experience on the wrist. The aluminium tang clasp ensures secure fastening, while the 20mm strap width provides a balanced proportion to the generous 47mm case diameter.

FAQ
Q: Is the Swatch Futuristic Black suitable for swimming?
A: With 3 bar (30 metres) water resistance, the SO27B119 is splash-resistant and can withstand brief immersion such as handwashing or rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any prolonged water contact.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz watch?
A: Swatch quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When battery replacement is needed, our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can replace it quickly and efficiently.
Q: What does the luminous feature mean on this watch?
A: The hour markers, numerals, and hands feature luminous coating that absorbs light and glows in dark conditions, allowing you to read the time easily at night or in low-light environments without requiring a backlight.
Q: Can the silicone strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the 20mm silicone strap can be replaced with any compatible 20mm strap. Our team can assist with strap changes and adjustments. The tang buckle allows for precise sizing adjustment to fit your wrist comfortably.
Q: Is this watch suitable for both men and women?
A: Absolutely. The Futuristic Black is designed as a unisex timepiece. While the 47mm case is substantial, the lightweight materials and comfortable silicone strap make it wearable for a wide range of wrist sizes.
Q: What is included in the packaging?
A: The watch comes in standard Swatch packaging, which includes the timepiece, warranty documentation, and product information. The packaging is designed to protect your watch during delivery.
Q: Does this watch have a date function?
A: No, the SO27B119 features a clean three-hand design displaying hours, minutes, and seconds only. There is no date complication, which contributes to the uncluttered aesthetic of the gradient dial.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Swatch warranty from the date of purchase when bought 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 to the case, crystal, or strap, nor strap deterioration from regular use.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable items with a limited service life.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, including swimming or showering with the watch beyond its stated water resistance rating, is not covered.
- Accidental damage, improper handling, unauthorised modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorised service centres void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, the original proof of purchase from Cassims & Co. must be presented along with the watch.
- Warranty service should be performed only by authorised Swatch service centres to maintain coverage validity.
Care guide
- Clean the case and silicone strap regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust, perspiration, and cosmetic residue.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully to maintain water resistance.
- Although water-resistant to 3 bar, avoid showering, swimming, or water sports. Remove the watch before any prolonged water exposure.
- If the watch comes into contact with saltwater or chlorinated water, rinse immediately with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or displays erratic timekeeping. Our servicing team can perform this service.
- Store your Swatch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keep it away from strong chemicals, solvents, or perfumes.
- The silicone strap is durable but may show wear over time. Replace if you notice cracking, excessive stretching, or deterioration.
- Avoid dropping or impacting the watch against hard surfaces, as this may damage the movement or crystal.
- While the mineral crystal is scratch-resistant, it is not scratchproof. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or materials harder than glass.
