Swatch introduces three retro-styled watch designs – 60s Style, Orangeade Drive and Urban Scene

Swatch_new

You could argue that anything by Swatch is retro – identifiable as it is with the 1980s. But now it has gone one step further, introducing specific designs with a retro feel.

The top image is 60s Style, named due to its psychedelic 60s looks, with the middle image titled Orangeade Drive – a bold orange, black and white design with a feel of the 1970s. Finally, there is the Urban Scene watch, using a similar colour scheme, but slipping a record deck into the face’s styling.

As you would expect, all have the Swiss inner workings and affordable price tags. Urban Scene retails for £30, while 60s Style and Orangeade Drive sell for £35.

The shirt is available from youth sizes to XL, and costs just $18.95.
