Price range £70 to £140 across 10 Swatch watches in stock.

Released in 1993 as part of Swatch's early-Nineties push into collectables, the Big Enuff arrived at a moment when the brand was treating the watch as a canvas as readily as a timepiece. The cage-like silver dial — cut away in slots to show the movement working beneath — was a deliberate provocation: transparency as decoration, at a time when most watches still hid their workings as a matter of course. At 34mm in resin, it sits very lightly on the wrist, and the illustrated strap is the real character here: pin-up graphics in the kind of colours that read as confident rather than accidental. The strap uses Swatch's own integrated lug system, so replacements need to be sourced accordingly — worth knowing before assuming a generic band will fit. After thirty years in storage, that original silicone may be fragile, and this is more honestly a piece to keep than to wear daily.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.

Will the glass scratch?

Yes, but it polishes out. Acrylic marks easily and a scratch can be buffed away at home, which is why vintage-style watches still use it.

Does it need a battery?

Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
