Product description

DARK STEEL - Variant

From the rare Retrograde Irony Chrono series comes the DARK STEEL variant. Here, Swatch breaks new ground, as retrograde technology has never been used in a Swatch before. In these models, the stopwatch always runs only in half-circle segments and, upon reaching the respective end position (half-circle), jumps back to the beginning (this function is called retrograde). The stopwatch function is not interrupted; instead, the hands start anew instead of completing the rotation. Initially, reading the stop time is a bit unusual, but the function itself is very interesting for the viewer. The watch has a stainless steel case with a dark blue leather strap, is water-resistant, and is equipped with an accurate quartz movement.

The two purchased 90s Swatch are in absolutely mint condition, with original protective film on the watch glass and an equally "untouched" original box.

I was looking for a replacement Swatch strap that was impossible to find in the UK, so ended up on Watch Papst due to lack of options. To my surprise it took only 5 days to arrive from Germany so wouldn't hesitate next time! Part was as described and packed well.

Delivery was made as quickly as possible after receipt of the advance payment.
I was especially pleased that the watch was from Citizen It was not delivered in the usual black box, but with the yellow diving cylinder.
I can watch Papst, who watches from Citizen, Union Glashütte, Mido, Swatch or Tissot I highly recommend his professional work and great service.

Everything was perfect - the watch arrived with a new battery and the correct time set, even though it's a relic from 1996.

To find a new in the box watch from 2003 is really a time capsule! Very satisfied to find such a great shop! Thank you!

A huge selection of watch straps, even for older models that are no longer in production. This allows me to continue wearing the watch. With a new strap, it's like new again.

Excellent experience; I was looking for a watch that was no longer available in stores until I found it while searching online. Swatch Papst I stumbled upon it and found the watch I was looking for – simply great, highly recommended!
Thank you for the fast delivery.

Fast shipping of my desired watch. I particularly appreciated the discreet packaging, which didn't reveal what was inside.
