Swatch Dia de Muertos (GZ269), a 2012 Standard Gent built around the Day of the Dead. The black dial places colorful sugar-skull calaveras at 12, 3, 6, and 9, each one detailed differently, set off by purple hour and minute hands and a bright yellow seconds hand. The black silicone strap carries the skull print end to end, so the theme runs the full length of the watch.

A seasonal Swatch with real crossover appeal: Day of the Dead collectors, Halloween fans, and skull-motif lovers all gravitate to this one, and it has grown harder to find since it left the lineup.
