Visual Description

Vintage Swatch wristwatch, special edition dedicated to the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, model reference GZ136. The case has a translucent finish, revealing the golden dial adorned with the Olympic logo and the inscription "Centennial Olympic Games 100 Atlanta 1996". The black hands contrast sharply with the golden background, making it easy to read the time. The dark green strap is richly decorated with golden motifs representing emblematic monuments and inscriptions such as "London 1948", "Helsinki", and "OLYMPIADE PARIS". The motifs and lettering are applied in gold, adding a commemorative and elegant touch to the whole piece.

The circular dial highlights the Olympic torch and the five rings, central elements of the design. Several green stars decorate the background of the dial, adding to the festive aesthetic. The Swatch brand and the "Swiss" mention are also printed on the dial, attesting to the Swiss origin of this piece.

The strap, attached by transparent fasteners, displays a succession of Olympic dates and cities, each section illustrated with significant monuments or symbols. The whole evokes the history of the modern Olympic Games, with a particular focus on the centenary celebration in Atlanta in 1996.

The watch is presented on an off-white cushion in a case with golden corners, which highlights the item and emphasizes its collector's item aspect. The contrast between the deep green, gold, and the transparency of the case gives it a retro style typical of the 1990s, while recalling the festive spirit of commemorative limited editions.

The inscriptions and motifs are clear and well preserved on the visible face. No major defects, chips, or scratches appear on this view. The overall appearance is that of a decorative, emblematic, and visually striking watch.
