Swatch Irony - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

This is my first analog watch! I bought it in my last year of engineering school and it accompanied me to my first job. It was my daily for about ten years until I bought an Orient Bambino and my partner gave me my Longines Presence in 2010. This Swatch Irony Chrono reference CADMOS YCS409 is robust, elegant with its openwork hands that remind me of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, the chronograph hand has a look that reminds me of the Speedmaster.... The worm is in the apple. I like its matte black dial and the whole thing is working 100% for over 23 years. My son has already spotted it in my collection and he plans to get it soon. By the way, this watch is indestructible but who said a Swatch is disposable?

To Xavier and PMEA, it encourages us to explore our drawers and... magic. The watch of my college years: steel and blue. This quartz watch has everything a child-friendly watch needs: highly readable with numbered and doubled hour markers in the afternoon, cyclops on the date window at 3 o'clock, steel bracelet and folding clasp. The thin steel bezel is engraved with "swatch". It may be from this watch that I get my love for blue dials!

Casio irony JO de Sydney 2000...quartz, approximately 36 mm. In new condition (I have a second one...), I don't wear it, it reminds me of the Olympics and Australia....it is very readable with its white background. The rubber strap is of superb quality. Thick and comfortable. The downside of this model (and other Swatch) is the noise of the second hand!!!
