I wrote about my first Swatch not too long ago. This time around, I am featuring another Swatch automatic watch that is my wife's. I did get this initially for myself but it ended up with her. Maybe it was the design? I was intrigued by the design when I saw it in a pile in a Japanese shop. I did not hesitate to include it with my purchases that day.

| The design was apparently inspired by ancient cave paintings |
 |
| The watch face is transparent and shows the movement. This model is called Aniak. |
 |
| A closer look reveals the model that was released in 1995. This makes it a couple of years 'newer' than my 1993 Swatch automatic. It's still an old one at 22 years. |
 |
| A close look at the bracelet shows more creatures. |
 |
| Here's a photo of the movement from the transparent back. The ETA 2840 automatic movement uses 23 jewels and runs at 21,600 beats/hour with a power reserve of 48 hours. |
 |
| These watches had a default 3bar water resistance meaning you could use it for washing hands or some exposure to rain. |
While this is only occasionally used, we consider it one of our favorites in our collection and one that our daughter will probably like to wear when she's of age.
