Swatch Sistem51 Under $200 Automatic Watch Now For Sale
The Swatch Sistem51 watch collection is finally out for sale (in some places). Are you excited? If you don't know what it is allow me to explain. At Baselworld 2013, the Swatch Group announced what is probably a major breakthrough in watchmaking; a new automatic mechanical movement that is completely assembled by machines and is priced around 100 - 200 Swiss Francs. We first covered the Swatch Sistem51 watch here upon its debut.We first thought the retail price was about $100 but then it turned out to be closer to $150. So we are simply saying between 100 - 200 Swiss Francs as we aren't sure about the final price at this time. As of publishing time Swatch hasn't put the price on their website. UPDATE: In Switzerland at least the retail price of Swatch Sistem51 watches is 150 Swiss Francs. Also, the watches are only currently available for sale in Switzerland. Swatch has announced that the first four models of the Sistem51 collection will be slowly released around the world in 2014. The

Seems to me that a black leather strap will be best, but I'd love to hear some recommendations for a vintage bracelet that I could search for.Thanks,David
