Additional Information

Swatch is a Swiss watch and jewelry manufacturing company founded in 1983. Swatch owns 12 luxury brands and is considered the largest watch company in the world. This button’s design matches the Tonga GL100 Swatch Watch face. The Tonga GL100 was part of Swatch’s 1986 Spring Summer collection. Swatch no longer sells the Tonga GL100 model, leaving interested buyers to purchase this particular watch from second-hand retail sites. The watch is considered vintage and is sought after by people with extensive watch collections.
