Loud and bold watch brand Swatch<\/a> recently released its new Pride 2023 Collection. Taking place every year in June, Pride Month is dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community. Swatch has long been associated with figures from the community, collaborating with artists such as Mika and Keith Haring<\/a> previously. Annually, the brand has released a new Pride collection to show their support. Last year’s collection revolved around a rainbow motif from the Pride flag, but this year’s takes it a step further. Its boldest Pride collection to date, the Pride 2023 ‘Proudly’ watches<\/a> embody the flag itself. Each one reflects a certain mantra and takes a different colour of the rainbow, making them ideal matching friendship watches. In classic Swatch fashion, each watch is made to make an statement on the wrist and is the perfect way to show your support this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Swatch Pride 2023 Collection: Now Available at First Class Watches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The core specifications of each of the Pride 2023 watches are uniform across the models. All watches are fitted with a 41mm round bio-sourced plastic case, which makes them ideal for everyday wear and tear. Additionally, each model is splash resistant but should not be submerged in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Securing each model to the wrist is a silicone strap that fastens with a plastic pin buckle. The colour of this strap corresponds to its primary colour scheme, creating a bold but cohesive look. As an added detail, the watch straps are accompanied by two special rainbow loops. When aligned, these loops make up the complete rainbow flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A proud way to show your Pride this June, the Proudly watches make a great accompaniment for the summer’s celebrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swatch Proudly Red Red Dial Red Silicone Strap<\/a> SO29R705<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Warm, bold, and unapologetic, the first watch in the brand\u2019s Pride 2023 range is the Proudly Red. The design features an all-over red colour scheme, which is broken momentarily by orange-toned accents. Sitting at the 3 o\u2019clock position is an orange date and weekday display. Its black black lettering stands out against the rest of the dial, improving its legibility. In orange letters, \u2018LIFE\u2019 is printed across the black minute hand to represent the meaning of red on the Pride flag. This stunning red colour is complementary to any skin tone, and will certainly sit proudly on the wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swatch Proudly Orange Orange Dial \/ Orange Silicone Strap<\/a> SO29O700<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Second-up is the Proudly Orange colourway. In varying degrees of orange, the watch is a warm reminder of the intentions underpinning the Pride celebrations. Accompanied by an apricot-coloured \u2018HEALING\u2019 slogan on the minute hand, this watch reiterates the meaning behind the orange of the rainbow flag. This apricot colour is echoed in other smaller details across the design, such as the second hand, the dial\u2019s outer ring, and the date and weekday display. It has a more uplifted design than the red and would make a beautiful sentimental gift to anyone celebrating Pride this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Swatch Proudly Yellow Yellow Dial \/ Yellow Silicone Strap<\/a> SO29J702<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bringing sunniness to both the celebrations and your everyday look, the next in the collection is the Proudly Yellow. The meaning of the Pride flag\u2019s yellow colour is once again printed on the black minute hand, and reads \u2018SUNLIGHT\u2019. Lighter yellow accents add some depth to the dial\u2019s design and are visible on the date display and the dial\u2019s frame. For those who have struggled throughout the years, this watch would serve as a great reminder of the good times to come and the good times had during the celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Swatch Proudly Green Green Dial \/ Green Silicone Strap<\/a> SO29G704<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Proudly Green follows a more gentle green colour scheme. The dial is accented by a pale mint green date display, outer dial ring and \u2018NATURE\u2019 motif, which balance out the vibrancy of the bolder green hues. The \u2018NATURE\u2019 slogan is derived from the meaning of the green colour on the Pride flag and adds a meaningful touch to this aesthetically bold piece. A mint green ring frames the dial and is paired with a matching coloured date and day display at 3 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Swatch Proudly Blue Blue Dial \/ Blue Silicone Strap<\/a> SO29S702<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Proudly Blue watch is symbolic of the meaning behind the blue colour on the Pride flag, \u2018HARMONY\u2019. Its primary sky-blue colour will give your wrist a pop of colour this Pride and is perfect for the summer months ahead. The \u2018HARMONY\u2019 slogan is printed onto the minute hand, which is contrasted by the pale blue second hand. Similarly, the date and day display that sits at 3 o\u2019clock stands out for its matching pale blue accent colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Swatch Proudly Violet Purple Dial \/ Purple Silicone Strap<\/a> SO29V700<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Oozing serenity, the Proudly Violet watch represents the violet colour on the Pride flag. Like the others, the minute hand on the model is printed with \u2018SPIRIT\u2019 lettering. The violet dial and strap are contrasted by lilac accents on the date display and the outer ring of the dial. A softer colour scheme in comparison to its counterparts, the Proudly Violet is a perfect completion of the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
