Swatch Skin - Noir De Chine SFB107

It almost doesn't feel like I'm wearing a watch today. This one is so thin and light, you hardly notice it.

It is one of the Skin watches by Swiss watch manufacturer Swatch. The Skin watches are the thinnest and lightest watches that Swatch make, and are only 3.9mm thick. It almost looks too thin to have a movement inside, and they take the smallest battery I've had to use for my collection so far - a 317 at 5.8mm x 1.6mm. The range was started in 1997, and this watch is from the Spring Summer 2000 collection (but is copyright 1999).

This version has the product code SFB107, and is called Noir De Chine which is French for Black China. It has a black case with white hands and markings, and uses a 2 hand dial (-i guess there is no room for a seconds hand in a watch this thin). The watch is 3 bar water resistant, and has a black leather strap.

The range (but not this model) are still for sale starting at £70.
