FAQ
Q: What does biosourced plastic mean in this Swatch watch?
A: Biosourced plastic refers to materials derived from renewable biological sources rather than petroleum-based plastics. Swatch uses biosourced materials in both the case and strap of the Golden Tac, reducing the environmental impact whilst maintaining the durability and lightweight characteristics that Swatch watches are known for.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: With 30-metre (3 Bar) water resistance, the Golden Tac can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch during these activities to maintain its water-resistant seals and longevity.
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 the battery needs replacing, bring your watch to our Mall of the South boutique where our team can perform the replacement using genuine Swatch components, ensuring your warranty remains valid.
Q: What size wrist will this watch fit?
A: The Golden Tac comes with a standard Swatch silicone strap that fits most wrist sizes from approximately 14cm to 20cm. If you require strap adjustments or have questions about fit, visit our boutique where our team can assist with sizing and adjustments at the time of purchase.
Q: Can I see this watch in person before purchasing?
A: Absolutely. We encourage you to visit our authorised Swatch boutique at Mall of the South in Johannesburg, where you can try on the Golden Tac and experience its lightweight comfort and distinctive styling in person. Our team can also show you other models from the Swatch collection.
Q: Is the Golden Tac covered by an official warranty?
A: Yes. As an authorised Swatch retailer, every Golden Tac watch purchased from Cassim & Co. includes a 2-year international Swatch warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid worldwide when you retain your proof of purchase.
Q: What makes the black and gold colour combination special?
A: The high-contrast black dial with gold-tone numerals and hands provides exceptional legibility in all lighting conditions. This classic colour pairing creates a versatile aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from casual daywear to evening occasions, making it an ideal everyday watch with a touch of sophistication.
