FAQ
Is this a genuine Swatch watch?
Yes, absolutely. Cassim & Co. is an authorised Swatch retailer, and this timepiece comes with full international warranty protection and authentic packaging. The barcode 7610522017542 confirms its authenticity.
What does 3 bar water resistance mean?
3 bar (30 metres) water resistance means the watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in to maintain water resistance.

Can I wear this watch at night?
Yes, the watch features luminous baton-shaped hands that glow in low-light conditions after being exposed to light. This makes it easy to read the time at night or in dimly lit environments.
