Swatch Irony Mahagany Flip YGS717GX

I've decided on blogging a Swatch watch today, and this is the first of a different line of Swatch I've not covered so far.

This is one of the Swatch Irony range of watches. The Irony range are similar to the Originals, but come with a metal case rather than the normal plastic. This gives them a bit more luxurious and less playful feel, especially the shiny stainless steel models.

This model is the Mahagany Flip, and was one of several Mahagany versions that came out in 2000 and 2001. This model has a different strap than the others, and was the release in the 2001 Spring Summer collection. It has a 3 hand dial design, and includes two little windows in the face - at the 9 o'clock position for the day, and 3 o'clock position for the date. Surrounding the grey face is a black ring with the Swatch name repeated round it. The case is a silver stainless steel design, and has a matching silver and grey metal strap with a Swatch clasp.

This Mahagany Flip has a model number of YGS717GX, and for the other variations on the Mahagany design, the last letters change with the different strap designs (and release dates).
