Birth year watches
Watches made in 1998.
The group behind Swatch, Omega, Longines and Tissot took the name Swatch Group in 1998, formalising how much of Swiss watchmaking now sat under a handful of roofs.
For buyers, the practical effect was consistency. A 1998 watch from any of those names shares parts, movements and build standards with its siblings, which makes servicing straightforward today.
