The Swatch Silver Glam SO29B109 redefines accessible Swiss watchmaking with its striking skeleton dial and bold design philosophy. Part of the Sparkling Circle collection, this timepiece showcases Swatch's commitment to innovative aesthetics while maintaining the brand's signature reliability and playful spirit. The semi-transparent dial reveals the intricate quartz movement beneath, offering a fascinating glimpse into the mechanical heart of the watch — a feature typically reserved for far more expensive automatic pieces.
Housed in a 43mm black bio-sourced plastic case, the Silver Glam pairs contemporary materials with classic watchmaking transparency. The silvery-white dial ring frames the exposed movement, punctuated by applied hour markers that catch the light beautifully. Fluorescent green luminescent material ensures legibility in low-light conditions, whilst the black silicone strap delivers all-day comfort and durability. Water resistant to 3 bar (30 metres), this watch is built for everyday wear, from the office to weekend adventures.

FAQ
Q: What movement powers the Swatch Silver Glam SO29B109?
A: This watch is powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, offering exceptional accuracy and low maintenance. Unlike automatic movements, quartz movements require battery replacement approximately every 2-3 years, which our technicians can perform at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Can I see the movement working through the dial?
A: Yes, the Silver Glam features a semi-transparent skeleton dial that reveals the internal quartz movement and gears. The silvery-white dial ring frames the exposed mechanism, creating a visually captivating display that offers insight into the watch's operation.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: With 3 bar (30 metres) water resistance, the Silver Glam can withstand splashes and brief immersion such as handwashing or rain. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports. Avoid operating the crown whilst the watch is wet.
Q: What does bio-sourced material mean in the case and strap construction?
A: Bio-sourced materials are derived from renewable biological resources rather than petroleum-based plastics. Swatch uses these sustainable materials in the case and strap construction, reducing environmental impact whilst maintaining the durability and comfort the brand is known for.
Q: Will the hands glow in the dark?
A: Yes, the watch hands feature fluorescent green luminescent material that charges in light and glows in darkness, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions. This luminescence will fade over time and requires re-exposure to light to recharge.
Q: Can the silicone strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the silicone strap can be replaced with another compatible Swatch strap. The 8-inch strap fits most wrist sizes. Our team at Cassims & Co. can assist with strap adjustments, replacements, or sourcing alternative Swatch straps to personalise your watch.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: Absolutely. The Swatch Silver Glam comes in official Swatch sleeve packaging and makes an excellent gift for watch enthusiasts, design lovers, or anyone appreciating Swiss watchmaking at an accessible price point. Its unisex design suits a wide range of wrist sizes and personal styles.

- Water damage resulting from misuse, improper operation of the crown whilst wet, or exceeding the stated water resistance rating is not covered.
- The warranty is void if the watch has been opened, repaired, or serviced by unauthorised personnel, or if it has been subjected to abuse, accidents, or improper use.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposing your Swatch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Clean the case and silicone strap regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the strap, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly.
- Do not operate the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised Swatch service centre or our qualified technicians at Cassims & Co. to maintain water resistance seals and warranty validity.
- Although water resistant to 3 bar, avoid swimming, showering, or water sports. Remove the watch before these activities to prevent water ingress.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. The original Swatch sleeve provides adequate protection.
- Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, or chemicals, as these may damage the bio-sourced plastic case and silicone strap.
- If the watch stops or loses significant time, bring it to our boutique for battery replacement or technical assessment.
- The fluorescent luminescent material on the hands will dim over time but should remain functional for many years with regular light exposure.
