Another unusual boxed watch again today, and this time it's a Swatch.
The watch is called Stripp (or Spaceguy Stripp), and is number SDN120 in the Swatch collection. It is a plastic watch in the Originals family and was released as part of the 1996 Fall/Winter collection.
The watch is made up to be a Spaceman called Stripp. The box says that Stripp is from spaceworld. He has just landed on Earth and is very excited to be the first creature from his planet to explore this unknown territory. The watch face is Stripp's face, and the lower half of the strap is his (topless) torso. It is, however, covered with a spacesuit (designed by his girlfriend, who is very keen on fashion), and this is detachable. In the box, you also get two outfits to swap with - a fitness suit, and a shopping suit.
The watch is a 3-hand dial, with a rotating bezel. It is 30m water resistant, and glows in the dark.
So the watch closes with the request:
"Dress well to keep Earth's reputation among the cosmos" in case you meet one of these spaceguys.
I don't know what the original price was, but one recently sold on ebay for $110.
