Swatch 'Golden Jelly' Skeleton Gent (Model SUOK120)
Swatch · Jewelry & Watches > Wristwatches
Era / Decade
2010s (specifically released around 2016). The design is a modern take on the classic 1980s skeleton Jelly Fish style.
Material
Engineered resin/plastic case, silicone strap, and acrylic crystal. Features a visible quartz movement with rose gold-tone internal components.
Condition
Good. The strap shows significant yellowing/discoloration compared to its original clear/white state (common with Swatch silicone). The crystal appears to have minor surface scuffs, but the dial remains clear.
Demand Level
Moderate. Swatch has a dedicated collector base, but common models like the Jelly series are plentiful unless they are the rare 1985 originals.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$30.00 - $55.00 (Low: $25 for heavy yellowing; Mid: $40 working with battery; High: $55 with original box).
Estimated Retail Value
$75.00 - $85.00
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay 'Sold' listings show pre-owned SUOK120 models selling between $32 and $48 plus shipping. Mint condition units with original packaging occasionally reach $65.
Description
This Swatch Golden Jelly Skeleton watch features a unique 41mm transparent case that reveals a striking rose gold and silver-tone quartz movement. The dial is accented with crystal hour markers and white baton hands. It is part of the New Gent collection, offering a larger, modern profile than the vintage 80s versions.
Key Features
Skeleton/Exposed movement, crystal hour markers, rose gold metallic ring, and the 'New Gent' 41mm case size which is more desirable for modern wearers than the smaller 34mm vintage sizes.
Authenticity Indicators
Visible 'Swatch Swiss' branding on the dial face; the specific battery door design on the case back is a hallmark of genuine Swatch construction. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Noticeable yellowing of the silicone strap is the primary flaw. The acrylic crystal is prone to scratches (though these can be polished out with PolyWatch). Requires a fresh battery (likely a 390/SR1130SW) to confirm functionality.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is best for reach; Depop is excellent as there is a high demand for 'Y2K' and 'Vintage-style' accessories among younger buyers. Poshmark is a good secondary option.
Selling Tips
Replace the battery before listing to prove it works and increase value. Use keywords like 'Skeleton', 'Transparent', 'Rose Gold', and 'Jelly'. Mention that the strap can be easily replaced with a fresh Swatch 19mm strap to solve the yellowing issue.
