Swatch Originals Sistem51 Quartz
The Swatch Sistem51 is a minimalist plastic-cased quartz wristwatch assembled from 51 parts, featuring automatic date change and a transparent caseback. Its electrically operated quartz movement has no jewels, and the plastic case excludes it from precious metal headings, so it falls under 9102.19.00 as 'other' wrist-watches.

Alternative Classifications

If the watch had a purely digital display
The Sistem51 uses analog hands, so it does not meet the opto-electronic display criterion.
If the case were made of precious metal
Chapter note 2 restricts heading 91.01 to precious metal cases; plastic cases are excluded.
