Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a long time Swiss watch fanatic. I've owned over 20 Breitlings, over 20 Omegas, etc., etc. For me, Victorinox is not usually thought of as the height of horological craftsmanship. But this watch is pretty decently done.
The case is high quality, on par with mid-level swiss watches (Oris, Tissot, etc.). The crown is nice and large. The movement is a lower-grade ETA movement. The finish is workmanlike. But who cares. It runs well.
The bracelet has solid links, which is a plus. The links are held together with split pins, about two notches below screwed links and one notch below collared friction pins. That is the low point. But the bracelet clasp is decent and has a diver's extension. The clasp has three holes for micro adjustment via springbar. In addition, there are two half links on the bracelet. Getting the perfect fit should not be hard to do.
A sapphire crystal on the front is nice to have. It is nicely recessed into the case (no chipping problems like Rolexes suffer-- but let's not go there, ok?) The display back is a mineral crystal, but very thick. The 500m depth rating is really impressive.
The dial is very legible and the lume is bright, although the lume on the hands is significantly brighter than that on the hour markers.
The bezel has a very solid click, much more high end than I expected to find. Interestingly, there is lume on the bezel too.
I have a 7" wrist and this watch is not too big, at least by today's standards and styles.
The gunmetal finish on the SS case and bracelet is really attractive. We'll have to see how it holds up.
Why five stars? For the price, this is one heck of a watch. Others to consider in this category are Oris TT divers, Doxa subs and Marathon.
