The Swatch Cobblestone Street (SO29A101) is a striking study in contemporary minimalism and sustainable design. This 41mm quartz timepiece features a transparent grey bio-sourced case that reveals the intricate skeletonised movement beneath, creating a layered visual depth that captures the industrial elegance of urban architecture. The black dial is punctuated by luminous white hour markers and distinctive red hands, offering exceptional legibility while celebrating Swatch's signature playful spirit. As part of the Swatch Essentials collection, this watch embodies the brand's commitment to accessible Swiss precision and innovative materials.
Crafted with a bio-sourced material strap that matches the grey case, the Cobblestone Street measures 41mm in diameter, 9.85mm in thickness, and 47.4mm lug-to-lug, making it a versatile companion for daily wear. The transparent construction allows you to appreciate the mechanical beauty of the quartz movement from every angle, transforming a functional timepiece into a wearable piece of horological art. Water-resistant to 3 bar (30 metres), it can withstand splashes and brief immersion, though it is not suitable for swimming or diving.

FAQ
Q: What does the bio-sourced material mean in this watch?
A: The bio-sourced material used in the case and strap is derived from renewable plant-based sources rather than traditional petroleum-based plastics. This represents Swatch's commitment to sustainable watchmaking without compromising durability or performance. The material maintains the same strength and longevity as conventional polycarbonate while reducing environmental impact.
Q: Can I see the movement through the transparent case?
A: Yes, the transparent grey case reveals the skeletonised dial architecture and internal components, creating a layered visual effect. While it's not a fully open exhibition caseback, the transparency allows you to appreciate the mechanical construction from the dial side, adding visual depth and interest to the design.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: With 3 bar (30 metres) water resistance, the Cobblestone Street can withstand everyday splashes, hand washing, and brief exposure to water. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend removing the watch before these activities to maintain its longevity.
Q: What is the lug width for strap replacement?
A: Swatch watches typically feature integrated strap systems that are model-specific. For strap replacement or customisation options for the Cobblestone Street, we recommend visiting our boutique where our team can advise on compatible options and assist with installation.
Q: How often does the quartz movement require battery replacement?
A: Swatch quartz movements typically run for 2-3 years on a single battery, depending on usage patterns. When replacement is needed, our service team can quickly replace the battery and test water resistance to ensure your watch continues to perform optimally.
Q: Does this watch have a date function?
A: No, the Cobblestone Street features a clean three-hand time-only display without a date complication. This minimalist approach emphasises the skeletonised dial design and keeps the aesthetic uncluttered and focused on the architectural elements.
Q: What is included with the watch at purchase?
A: Your Swatch Cobblestone Street comes in standard Swatch packaging, includes the 2-year international warranty card, and is accompanied by operating instructions. As an authorised retailer, Cassims & Co. provides a full purchase receipt that validates your warranty coverage globally.
