r1chard's WebsiteI read from the news that a special Swatch watch to commemorate Corazon Aquino will be released on 25 January 2010. Designed by Jaime Zobel (just like GK268) and is limited to 801 pieces.
Additional info and photos (and corrections) are welcome.

Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2010 12:19 pm Philippine Pesos 8,100 equals US Dollar 177 or Euro 123. That is quite expensive for a Gents Swatch!
Before ordering for that price I really need more info like pictures, the packaging, tags, code and confirmation of the limitation. Can you arrange that? Many many doubles on http://www.mach-4.nl/swatch/hp_forsale.htm!

Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2010 2:59 am Here's what I found out after googling:
The Cory Aquino Swatch Limited Edition comes in a unique package—a book on Aquino titled “A Woman Dressed in Sunshine” containing a touching introduction by Teddyboy Locsin and photos of Aquino through historic and personal moments. Source: Inquirer Still no photos.. I'm wondering why. |

Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2010 5:41 pm hmmm.. same dial design as the centennial watch
 though some difference on the 'sun', the cory watch has thicker rays, and the sun is placed somewhat lower. I'm guessing it's only the strap that differentiate it? |

Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2010 5:44 pm i see.... it will be a reissue with a special strap. i thought it would be a completely new design. but it still looks good, i would still want a set. i hope the packaging's fantastic.
