The SWATCH Gent has a plastic strap and a white background colour. The two halves of the strap both feature three portraits of a red rat in a comic style with prominent ears, coloured brown on the inside. The strap also depicts golden rice grains and little golden hearts. The rice grains symbolize the rice which the Chinese eat on the occasion of their New Year’s parties and is said to encourage positive thinking. Then there are the Chinese characters denoting the words rat and rice, again in gold. The ideogram for rice also appears in red at the very end of the strap half at 6 o’clock. The buckle and loop are made of transparent plastic and the loop is also decorated with a little red heart. The watch case is made of translucent synthetic material with a white dial. Fine Arabic numerals in brown from 1 to 12 surround the outer rim of the dial with delicate, golden line markers to denote the hours and minutes. A narrow red ring then follows towards the centre. The same comic rat who figures on the strap appears in the centre of the ring, this time in gold with brown bands. The body is printed on the dial and the head on the inside of the watch glass. The minute hand takes the shape of a prominent golden rice grain, while the hour hand is tipped by a little red circle
