Stepping up in Swarovski's range
The 39.5 mm stainless steel case is set with a fixed bezel formed from a single piece of faceted denim blue crystal, giving the watch an unusually cohesive look from the off. The denim blue dial carries three chronograph sub-dials tracking seconds, minutes, and hours, with silver-tone hands and indices and a Swarovski swan logo at twelve o'clock. Crocodile-embossed Italian calfskin in the same denim blue completes the monochrome palette, fastening with a tang buckle. Swiss-made quartz movement. Water resistant to 50 metres.

Learn more about Swarovski
Daniel Swarovski patented a machine for cutting crystal precisely and in volume, and in 1895 moved production to Wattens in the Tyrol for the hydroelectric power the valley could supply. The company has been there ever since, still family-controlled after five generations.
The watches are not a licence. Swarovski makes them itself, and they exist to display the thing the company actually produces: cut crystal, set into cases, bezels, bracelets and dials in quantities no watchmaker would attempt.
That makes them jewellery with a movement inside rather than watches with decoration added, and they are best judged on that basis. Quartz movements, generous stone-setting, and designs that change with the season.
Swarovski also supplies crystal to fashion, film and stage — which is why the same stones turn up on a Wattens-made watch and on a costume at the Metropolitan Opera.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 39.5mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
