The 34mm white plastic case pairs with a pristine white silicone strap adorned with thin orange/coral horizontal stripes reminiscent of the chalk lines on a tennis court.

The orange/coral hands provide excellent contrast for easy time reading. The watch comes in its original Swatch packaging featuring white with orange/coral horizontal stripes matching the watch design, along with the official Roland Garros stamp.
