- R 2,440
The Swatch Gradino YSS300G is a study in minimalist Swiss design, where architectural clarity meets everyday wearability. This compact quartz timepiece from the Archi-Mix collection features a sunbrushed silver dial with bold Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, complemented by stick indices and sleek dauphine hands. The polished stainless steel case and integrated bracelet create a seamless silhouette that sits comfortably on the wrist, while the distinctive bezel design adds a sculptural dimension to the profile.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for SWATCH watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and after-sales support. The Gradino is powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, offering precision timekeeping with minimal maintenance. Its 3 bar water resistance makes it suitable for everyday wear, withstanding splashes and brief immersion, though it should not be worn while swimming.
The 14mm lug width and integrated bracelet design give this watch a refined, contemporary aesthetic that works equally well in professional and casual settings. The snap buckle clasp ensures secure wear throughout the day, while the polished stainless steel construction resists tarnishing and maintains its lustrous finish with minimal care. This is a timepiece that exemplifies Swatch's ability to deliver Swiss-made quality at an accessible price point.
Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the Gradino in person, where our team can assist with sizing and bracelet adjustments. We offer nationwide delivery across South Africa, and our watch servicing and repairs team is always available should you require battery replacements or professional maintenance in the future.

- Avoid exposure to chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and solvents which may damage seals or finish.
- Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet, as this may compromise water resistance.
