Swatch is wishing a happy birthday to Canada in their typical way by launching a special edition model, the Backup Red (SUOR705K). This watch is all about celebrating Canada — red case and dial matched with a white silicone strap that is decorated with symbols of our country, the Parliament building, maple syrup, hockey, the head of a moose and a loon, a tiny inuksuk and a large kayak. The strap features the official Canada 150th Anniversary logo on its large red silicone loop.

The Backup Red is $90 and it can be purchased from Swatch online boutique. Since you’re there, take a look at their special selection of red watches for a day of red and white celebrations! Wear Canada’s colours on your wrist with pride, eh?!

As a graphic designer, I'm fascinated by the crossroads between technology and aesthetics. Horology is one of these crafts, where art and engineering come together to produce mechanical wonders that grace the eye. WatchPaper was born from the desire to create an online tool where I can share my passion for watches.
