Title: Vintage 1983 Swatch Gent "Tennis Grid" GW100 – First Year Rare Release
Description: A highly collectible piece of watch history: the 1983 Swatch Gent "Tennis Grid" (Reference GW100). Released in Swatch's foundational debut year (1983 Fall/Winter Collection), this iconic model is famous for its retro Swiss minimalist design, featuring a crisp white dial overlaid with a distinct red grid pattern, black hands, and a striking red second hand.
Condition:
• Movement: Tested and fully working! Keeps time as expected.
• Cosmetics: This is a true vintage, pre-owned item showing obvious signs of cosmetic wear consistent with age. There are surface scratches/scuffs on the plastic case and crystal (see photos for detail). The original cream/white strap shows typical aging and discoloration.
• Note for collectors: As with most 40+ year-old original Swatch resin bands, the strap may be brittle. Selling as-is for historical accuracy, but it can easily be swapped with any standard 17mm replacement Swatch strap if you intend to wear it daily.
