Swatch Destination specials

Last updated:  26-MAY-2024

Swatch had launched many city specials earlier, before starting with the Destination series (eg. Instanbul 34 (SUJZ401), Fluid Word (Frankfurt, SUJK104K), three New York special swatches (Empire State (GK309, 1998), Sign Of The Times (GZ409, 2004), Lines In The Sky (GZ209) and many more).  In the following list, we only consider watches in the special Destination Swatch paper sleeve (with one exception, #69).

The first Destination special was launched on 10-MAR-2016: Ketje From Brussels (SUOZ712).  Since then, more than 60 Destination specials have been issued.  Some are completely new models, some are older models with a special strap.  They all have the special Destination Swatch paper sleeve.

The following table is ordered in the approx. date of release.  If you have an addition or corrections to this list, please send me an email.

DEC-2022:  I added a second table SwatchXYou Destination specials below this table...

The packaging of the Destination Swatch specials has changed in the last years.  In 2016, it started with a paper sleeve for the well known plastic packaging.

In 2020, with the introduction of the eco-friendly pasteboard packaging), the packaging was changed to a "cigar box" style paper packaging.  This packaging is now also being used for older Destination specials such as this one here from New York City:

After the introduction of the first Bioreloaded New Gent Destination special (L'Expérience Montréal) in JUN-2021), the packaging was changed again slightly:  It is now being made of recycled paper.  Also available with older Destination specials such as this Nächster Halt Jungfrau (Switzerland):

SwatchXYou Destination specials

In December 2022, Swatch has launched prefabricated SwatchXYou Destination specials.  These are also available only in the respective city.  The SwatchXYou watch is packaged in the typical "Greetings From ..." Destination watch packaging but no "Greetings From ..." loop around the strap.  "Greetings From" on the strap, though.  The first watches in the series cost 95 EURO / $95 US.
