Only available in Switzerland Here’s a link to the Swiss store which has more details, like price: https://www.swatch.com/en-ch/what-if-tariffs-so34z106/SO34Z1...

I like the "Hopefully, just a limited edition." line too :)

It looks so terrible I thought the idea behind it was “this is what the US can manufacture without importing foreign materials”. But nah, it’s just an ugly watch with a pretty dumb marketing stunt that makes it less usable as a watch.

Swatch watches are all ugly tbf (imho, of course). But let’s face it, this is more of a statement than a product

The number 39 refers to the 39% tariff rate on Switzerland.

Kind of insane that the American President just made up a lie that tariffs are paid by foreign countries and rest of the administration just went along with it. It flies in the face of any common sense.

That you can find around southern South America
