SWATCH’S NATURAL SOLUTION
Mechanical revolution meets mother nature as the Swatch Sistem51 BioReloaded combines Swiss watchmaking precision and innovation with bio-based materials. A new grade of Swiss Made plastic — developed from castor plant seed extracts — is used for the watch case, strap, and clasp which replaces the need for industrial ones. The use of eco-friendly materials extends past the watch itself as the packaging box is also made from home-compostable starches and natural fibres.
Within the biodegradable case sits an automatic movement made from a fully automated production line. 51 individual components made from ARCAP — and antimagnetic alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc — are pivoted around a central pinion. The movement is laser regulated before being hermetically sealed in the case to increase longevity and reliability.
