The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

I bought this watch because I knew this brand. I have six different models of Victorinox knives, one of which I've carried for 34 years, and it follows me everywhere I go.
I've become addicted to this fantastic brand because I've since bought four more because it's so sturdy.
Official watch of the New York Fire Rescue Divers and the official watch of the Swiss Fire Department.

My favorite diver

This is my second INOX watch, titanium version.
43mm watch, quite large but comfortable and lightweight thanks to the titanium.
Fun with its orange strap, but it gets dirty but is quite easy to clean.
Water-resistant to 200m and a screw-down crown with the Victorinox logo.
Be careful if you have a small wrist because it's not discreet!!
It's a bit pricey for a quartz watch, but I don't regret it because it's solid; it's the Swiss G-Shock.
Bought it for the birth of my second daughter.
I love it.
It's a quartz watch with the Ronda 715 module.
It's indestructible.

I.N.O.X titanium 

This is a watch I got when my grandfather died 15 years ago.
It's a watch that doesn't lack charm.
Small diameter: 34mm
Lightweight
The original strap has been replaced with a NATO strap.
It's 35 years old and works perfectly.
It's not worth much, but sentimentally, yes.

My grandfather's last watch

Bought several months ago, I fell in love with this Japanese pilot's field watch with a retro look and cushion shape.
This discreet Japanese watch amazes me every day with its various bevels and its brushed and mirror polishing.
The slightly sunray gray dial gives it an almost neo-retro dress watch style with its 42mm case, but it doesn't look huge when worn.
Powered by a very reliable and proven Miyota 8210 that barely takes 10 seconds per day.
Impressive value for money.
Not very heavy and very comfortable on the wrist.
The price is ridiculously low considering the quality of this model: €179.
I went for it and I'm enjoying this marvel every day.

Neo retro watch in the CITIZEN style

Third stainless steel watch in my humble collection.
I was going to buy the limited edition automatic version or the regular automatic version, but it's no longer available anywhere, and I absolutely wanted this exact model with the red numerals.
This is the quartz version, powered by a Ronda 715.
Carbon case, stainless steel screw-down caseback.
Screw-down crown with the Victorinox logo.
Rubber strap with pin buckle.
Water resistant to 200m.
It's quite large: 43mm, but in black, it doesn't look that big.
I bought it for my wife's cancer recovery. What could be more logical than an indestructible stainless steel watch to represent my wife's strength of will to survive her illness?
Victorinox is an excellent brand that manufactures everything in-house.
It's a bit pricey for a quartz watch, but what a fantastic watch.
Oh, I forgot: the indexes, numerals, and hands are coated with super Luminova. I recommend this brand and all its models with my eyes closed (well, keep them open to admire the curves of these watches).
For me, the Swiss G-Shock…

<p dir="ltr">Founded in <strong>1884</strong> by Karl Elsener in Ibach-Schwyz, Switzerland, <strong>Victorinox</strong> is a family business renowned for its iconic Swiss Army knife. Over the decades, the brand has diversified its production to include watches, travel items, kitchen knives and perfumes, while maintaining its commitment to quality and innovation.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Origins and History</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The history of Victorinox begins with Karl Elsener, who opened a cutlery workshop in 1884. In 1891, he supplied knives to the Swiss army for the first time, marking the start of a long tradition. The name <strong>"Victorinox"</strong> is a combination of "Victoria", in homage to the mother of the founder, and <strong>"inox"</strong>, an abbreviation for stainless steel introduced in 1921. This designation reflects the company's commitment to innovation and quality materials.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Expansion into Watchmaking</h3>
<p dir="ltr">In 1989, Victorinox expands its portfolio by launching its own line of watches under the brand <strong>"Swiss Army"</strong>. These watches, made in Switzerland, are designed to reflect the same standards of quality and functionality as the famous Swiss knives. The Victorinox watch collection is distinguished by a combination of elegant design and robustness, suitable for various occasions and environments.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Victorinox Alliance : </strong>Combining sobriety and sophistication, the Alliance collection offers watches with a refined design, suitable for formal and everyday occasions. Models are available with different colored dials and stainless steel or leather straps.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Commitment to Quality and Innovation</h3>
<p dir="ltr">All Victorinox watches are made in Switzerland, guaranteeing significant watchmaking know-how. The company has its <strong>own watchmaking knowledge center in Del&eacute;mont</strong>, where each watch undergoes rigorous quality controls. Victorinox integrates innovative materials, such as carbon, to improve the durability and performance of its watches. For example, the I.N.O.X. Carbon has a carbon composite casing, offering increased resistance to shock and thermal variations.</p>

<p dir="ltr">(Updated February 2025)</p>

A little over a year after purchasing the I.N.O.X. steel, I was tempted by the carbon version.
I'm not a big fan of this material; I generally prefer steel for the play of light it offers.

However, I find the forged carbon of this Victorinox sumptuous! Looking closely, you can see a really pretty marbled pattern, which matches perfectly with the case of this toolwatch.

The dial is one of the watch's many highlights. It features a lovely guilloché pattern, a date at 4:30 (with a black background this time), and applied indexes. A little detail I love: these indexes are inlaid into the flange.

The strap (genuine rubber) is very comfortable. It is textured with the same guilloché pattern as the dial and is fitted with a titanium folding clasp.

Special mention for its incredible packaging. The watch comes in a pelican-style box, with a protective bumper and a limited edition Spartan Swiss Army knife.

A robust and lightweight toolwatch

For my 30th birthday I wanted to treat myself to a beautiful watch. Something robust that would really last, automatic and for less than 1000 euros. I already had this Victorinox in my sights but Basile's video on the channel really convinced me. 
In addition to being extremely robust, the I.N.O.X. is really elegant. The combination of bezel with brushed polished finish and dial with guilloche patterns are very effective. The detail that I love is this superb crown protector that breaks the symmetry of the watch. 
The steel bracelet is very well made, also with a brushed polished finish. 
I've had it in my possession for barely 1 month and it has never left my arm

The armored timepiece

This INOX Carbon is my G-shock, I wear it to work reassured by its solidity while keeping one foot in watchmaking. Swiss automatic movement, screw-down crown, 200m water-resistant, noble carbon and titanium materials, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, superluminova, folding clasp... all this for a reasonable price.

A contemporary, robust and low profile watch

2nd Victorinox in my collection, I had the Carbon and titanium version before, but had to sell it to finance another watch project at the time, I always regretted this sale. Having sworn to myself to take another one, and not liking the feeling of having done anything and buying a watch a second time, I decided to go for the steel version this time, with the blue dial, and I really don't regret it! What a beautiful piece! It's really a beautiful feeling when you put it on your wrist, the impression of robustness, a piece of steel cut from the mass, with this very beautiful bracelet and its H links, the blue guilloche dial, superb and of exemplary readability, it's a superb watch. The case back is transparent, we also appreciate it. It's really a Swiss made G-Shock, with a more chic side all in steel.
For sure and certain, this one, I'm keeping it!

Robust and superb at the same time

For my 16th birthday, my mother gave me my first watch. It was a Victorinox quartz chronograph with a pretty orange dial (my favorite color at the time).

Young and absent-minded, I first forgot it on my exam table for the French baccalaureate. I then subjected its replacement to shocks galore, because it wouldn't leave my wrist. Until it gave up the ghost, main hands loose, chrono movement KO, bezel deeply scratched.

When it was time to replace it, I was struck by the brand's brand new model. The I.N.O.X, the strongest watch in the world. Touted with great fanfare in advertisements showing the robustness tests it underwent. From a 10m drop onto concrete, to passing under a 60-ton vehicle, to exposure to sulfuric acid. I fell for its design combining curves and angles, polished and brushed.

Unfortunately I don't have the budget and at that time the watch is for me a simple gadget that allows me to read the time when my phone has no more battery. 

In 2020 my attraction to watches begins to transform into a passion for watches. I discover Chrono24. Scrolling through the "brands" section of the site, I come across victorinox. Cooking daily with their knives, the brand has never left me. 
I look at the i.n.o.x out of curiosity and discover the automatic model with ETA movement. Having the means to fast as an adult, I undertake to acquire one. I come across a perfect example, still under stickers and warranty, in Poland, with the very rare chalk gray dial and the hybrid leather/wood strap. A few negotiations, €420 and 2 weeks of delivery later, it is in my hands. 

I have owned and worn it for almost 4 years. Very versatile with the 2 rubber bracelets and the paracord bracelet that completed her wardrobe. 
She followed me everywhere, quad in the desert, water skiing or even a water park, she didn't flinch, only one mini scratch. 

Despite her imposing build, she knows how to be elegant. Accompanied by cargo pants, a pair of Timberlands and a lumberjack shirt; she becomes the perfect accessory for the urban jungle. 
Certainly the best ETA movement I have ever owned, it keeps time wonderfully. 

To buy with your eyes closed, will it leave my collection one day? Or will it be enhanced with the new steel bracelet of its new 2024 edition? 

Small bonus point: being complimented on your watch in Dubai by a man with a Daytona on oysterflex who asks what it is, it's priceless...

The most adventurous of tool watches

I bought this watch in the summer of 2022, I was looking for a robust, waterproof model so as not to think while wearing it, and I wanted to avoid the blockbusters that we all know in these prices. Recognizable by the shape of the hexagonal case, it has very interesting features for this price range such as the bezel with anti-scratch coating, 200 meters of water resistance, sapphire crystal with triple anti-reflective treatment, screw-down crown, transparent and screwed case back, guilloché dial borrowed from Swiss Army Officer knives, applied indexes, date window, Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement etc ... However, be careful with the chicken wrist because its diameter is 43mm and its thickness is 13.5mm. Ideal for playing with dolls with also several bracelets, STEEL, RUBBER and NATO allowing you to change them depending on your mood and use. In short, an excellent watch for modern adventurers who love mechanical timepieces and want the ultimate "unbreakable" Toolwatch that combines sportiness and modernity.

I.N.O.X. Mechanical

This Victorinox "I.N.O.X Mechanical" is my very first automatic mechanical watch. I wanted to treat myself to a mechanical watch that I would keep for life, resistant, with a sober dial and with a transparent back to be able to observe its insides. This watch met my criteria. 
It is "mastoque" without being ostentatious. Its hexagonal bezel with polished beveled facets is very beautiful. I chose the blue dial, the hands and indexes are chrome and filled with white luminescent material. This makes them stand out from the rest of the dial, making reading the time relatively easy. Victorinox talks about 130 solidity tests, but it is clearly stated that these tests were carried out on quartz movement models, that mechanical movements are fragile and do not tolerate violent shocks. However, I suppose that the abrasion and crushing tests are also valid for the mechanical model but that it should not be thrown on the ground.

The watch equipped with its bracelet is heavy and its 192 grams are felt on the wrist
Despite this, I have been wearing it for three days and find it comfortable. A "bumper" is provided with it, it is a plastic part that is supposed to clip onto the bezel. I tried to install it out of curiosity because I would not use it but I did not succeed, too bad.

The crown is screwed, it has three positions. The first allows it to be wound manually, by pulling on it we have two other positions which allow the date and time to be set. I am currently having trouble finding these two positions and I find the adjustment a little complicated. But this may be because I am a novice and I am lacking in practice.

To sum up, I think this watch is beautiful, I find its design well thought out, it is an imposing and "classy" watch without being ostentatious, provided, I suppose, that you have a big wrist. The weight will be prohibitive for some people, as far as I am concerned it reassures me because I was looking for a solid and durable watch. My opinion should be considered as the opinion of a beginner because I have no experience with watches at the moment.

Beautiful piece!
