High-contrast elegance brings high style to this striking SWATCH Irony Chrono Retrograde. The stainless steel bracelet features alternate polished and brushed steel links and brushed steel endpieces and solid brushed steel case. The polished steel bezel shows engraved triangular hour markers at all hours. The polished metal flange’s black minute ring and black hour markers surround the brilliant blue dial with its embossed black mesh pattern at the centre and emblossed black indices backing the prominent retrograde and continuous seconds (petite seconde) counters. Applied silver hour markers at 1, 2, 10, 11 and 12 o’clock stand opposite the brushed metal semi-circle of the 30-second counter with its finely graded black ring and black Arabic numerals and the black-on-white date window at hour 4. The retrograde 5-minute counter at 2 o’clock and the 60-minute arc at 10 o’clock show a raised black-on-blue sunbrushed effect and black Arabic numerals and indicators, the petite second a structured blue dial with concentric circle pattern and white Arabic numerals and indices; the subdials have reflective metal hands. The retrograde 30-second counter has a thin metal central seconds hand; reflective metal squelette hour and minute hands with white superlite tips mark the time.
