This Gent-sized quartz watch features a striking sun-brushed navy blue dial with crisp white Arabic numerals and a distinctive day-date window at 3 o'clock, all housed within a 34mm navy blue bio-sourced plastic case.

FAQ
Q: Is the Swatch Sir Blue suitable for swimming?
A: The Sir Blue has a water resistance rating of 3 bar (30 metres), which makes it splash-resistant and suitable for everyday wear including handwashing and light rain. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports activities.
Q: What does bio-sourced material mean?
A: Bio-sourced materials are derived from renewable biological resources rather than petroleum-based plastics. Swatch's bio-sourced plastic is made from castor oil plants, offering a more sustainable alternative while maintaining the durability and comfort of traditional watch materials.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years depending on usage. When your Swatch Sir Blue requires a battery replacement, our service team at Cassims & Co. can assist you with genuine Swatch battery replacements to ensure continued accurate timekeeping.
Q: Does the watch glow in the dark?
A: Yes, the Swatch Sir Blue features green SuperLuminova on the hands and hour markers, which absorbs light and glows in low-light or dark conditions for enhanced legibility.
Q: What is the case size and will it suit smaller wrists?
A: The Sir Blue has a 34mm case diameter, which is considered a medium unisex size. This makes it suitable for both men and women, and particularly well-proportioned for those with smaller to medium wrist sizes.
Q: Can the strap be replaced?
A: Yes, Swatch watches feature easily replaceable straps. If you wish to change the strap or if it becomes worn over time, replacement straps are available through authorised Swatch retailers including Cassims & Co.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: Absolutely. The Swatch Sir Blue comes in standard Swatch packaging and makes an excellent gift for anyone who appreciates contemporary design with sustainable credentials. Its unisex sizing and versatile navy blue colourway suit a wide range of tastes and occasions.
