Sistem51 watches able to be serviced

Automatic movement. No batteries. 90-hour power reserve. This is the Mechanical Revolution.
From SISTEM51 IRONY's premium stainless steel cases to SISTEM51 original's sporty designs, there are plenty of ways to join the movement.

The 51-component movement is made completely by machines (not a single human hand touches it during construction) and the various movement modules are held together by a single central screw. The balance is even adjusted by lasers, which remove tiny bits of mass until the whole thing is running at spec. There are some new geometric printed treatments on the plates, bridges, and rotor, but otherwise these are the same great guts you've seen before.

There is one very significant update though: Beginning with the Irony collection, Sistem51 watches will be able to be serviced at certain authorized Swatch watchmakers instead of being completely disposable. Previously you had to just toss the watch when it stopped keeping good time, but now you can keep a Sistem51 going much longer with some simple repairs and part swaps. Bravo to Swatch on this one.

Straps all use Swatch's propriety three-tang connection, so you cannot use after-market straps here from other makers.

The backlash from this movement probably sparked Swatch to make the movement repairable. No one wants to through away a $600.00 and up TIMEpiece. It stopped me from buying.
Thanks for the intel Mike

Big shout out again to Ashley for the loan of his Sistem51. I'm not saying I'm done with this one, perhaps I'll pick one up again, when and if they actually make it in some interesting colours. What do you think? Do you have one? Do you wear it? Or is it just too many paradoxes and contradictions at once!? Cheers, Jody
