Swatch GK191 Skizzo

It's more from the 90s again today with this Swatch watch.

This model is one of the Swatch Originals range of watches, which are the standard 3 hand dial models that make up a large proportion of the early models.

This particular model is called the Skizzo and has the designation GK191. It was one of two watches under the label Optiques with the other being called Brouillon, and they were released as part of the Spring Summer 95 collection.

It is a clear design, with thick scribble type lines along the strap and face. The case and face are clear, meaning that you can clearly see the module inside (making it basically look like a quartz skeleton watch). It is meant to be completely clear, but this one has been yellowed through aging, sun exposure, or having a smoker as a previous owner.

I don't know the original sale price, but at the time of writing, it is around $50 on the online auctions.
