As more Filipinos take an interest in exploring the country’s spectacular underwater sites, from Batangas to Palawan, the demand for functional yet stylish dive watches has grown. Swatch proudly introduces GREEN ABYSS, the latest model in the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection, a tribute to Blancpain’s iconic Fifty Fathoms—the first true diver’s watch launched in 1953.

It features a deep green Bioceramic case, a proprietary material derived from castor oil, that offers exceptional lightweight strength and a silky, velvety finish. Its aesthetic speaks to a new generation of watch wearers who value performance as much as purpose, and who seek gear that transitions effortlessly from the ocean floor to the city streets. Reinforcing Swatch’s growing commitment to ocean conservation, the watch comes fitted with a two-piece NATO-style strap crafted from recycled fishing nets, transforming marine waste into a powerful symbol of sustainability.
Engineered to perform in demanding underwater conditions, the Green Abyss delivers water resistance of up to 91 meters (Fifty Fathoms). Luminous hands and markers ensure visibility in deep-sea environments, while a secured rotating bezel offers reliable dive timing. A sapphire crystal caseback provides a clear view of the timepiece’s intricate inner workings, adding a refined touch that watch enthusiasts will appreciate.
At the heart of the Green Abyss is Swatch’s revolutionary SISTEM51 mechanical movement. This innovative, fully automated movement is composed of just 51 parts and features a Nivachron™ hairspring, making it anti-magnetic and remarkably resilient. With an impressive 90-hour power reserve, it offers the kind of long-lasting precision and reliability that modern divers—and urban explorers—demand.
As scuba diving gains momentum across the Philippines, the launch of the Green Abyss reflects Swatch’s deepening connection with the local market and its support for an active, eco-minded lifestyle. Wearing the Green Abyss isn’t just about keeping time; it’s about making a statement—celebrating the ocean, protecting it, and embracing the thrill of exploration with every dive.
The Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms “Green Abyss” is now available for purchase exclusively at Swatch Greenbelt 5, inviting watch collectors, divers, and eco-minded adventurers to visit the store to discover this remarkable timepiece and experience the perfect fusion of innovation, style, and adventure.
