Beautiful piece!

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.
