Bought just a month ago, it was a purchase that was love at first sight.
My father was a career soldier and had quite a few watches including a Luminox that was lost during an operation.
When I saw this black Citizen in the window, it clicked in my head.
A diver's look with a tractor heart, that's what I call it because it's waterproof to 100m without a screw-down crown powered by a Miyota 8200 (+15 seconds per day for me)
Comfortable rubber strap but quite hard the first few times I wore this watch.
Quite large size but it's OK (46.2mm).
Sober but original at the same time with its orange minute hand.
Very well-made luminescent hands and indexes.
For €199 (I got it a little cheaper because it was out of the catalog), it's for me a very good alternative to the Seiko 5 sport.

The Japanese tractor that thinks it's a diver

This is my second INOX, titanium version.
43 mm watch, quite imposing but comfortable and light thanks to the titanium.
Fun with its orange strap but dirty but quite easy to clean.
Water-resistant to 200m and screwed crown with the Victorinox logo.
Be careful if you have a small wrist because it is not discreet!!
It is a certain price for a quartz watch but I do not regret it because it is strong, it is the Swiss G-Shock.
Bought for the birth of my second daughter.
I love it.
It is a quartz with the Ronda 715 module.

Victorinox INOX TITANIUM 

Bought two weeks ago, real love at first sight for this Japanese, a pilot field watch that has a retro look and cushion shape.
This discreet Japanese amazes me day by day with its differen bevels and its mirror and brushed polishing.
Slightly sunny gray dial gives it an almost neon-retro dress watch style with its 42mm case but does not look huge when worn.
Powered by a very reliable and proven Miyota 8210 that takes barely 10 seconds/day.
An impressive quality/price ratio.
Not very heavy and very comfortable on the wrist.
The price is ridiculous given the quality of this model: €179
I went for it and I enjoy myself day by day with this marvel.

Field watch for all sorts of Nakajima Ki-115 Tsurugi

Bought for my dad, this Swatch is fun because hidden behind, small goldfish which is my dad's astrological sign and decorated with a tartan, to remind him of his love for England.
Now, it is part of my collection because my dad is no longer here.
It is a watch that has an importance for me because it was the last gift I had given him.

Tartan swatch

I bought this watch because I knew this brand. I have had a Victorinox knife for 31 years and it follows me everywhere I travel.
I have become addicted to this fantastic brand because since then I have bought 3 others.
Official watch of the New York firefighters rescue divers and official watch of the Swiss firefighters.


Watch bought for the birth of my daughter

Small Swatch as an inheritance that belonged to my dad.
A classic style with an atypical two-tone strap.
I wear it either with a hoodie or a classic shirt.
Light and comfortable to wear.
Very classic for a Swatch.
A little touch of originality with the big blue hand and the date.
I wear it from time to time thinking of my dear dad…

Swatch chrono black & White 

3rd INOX in my humble collection.
I was going to buy the limited edition automatic version or the normal automatic version but no longer available anywhere and I absolutely wanted this specific model with the red numbers.
This is the quartz version that has a Ronda 715.
Carbon case, stainless steel screwed back.
Screwed crown with the Victorinox logo.
Rubber strap with pin buckle.
Water-resistant 200m.
It is quite a large size: 43mm but in black, it is not so huge.
I bought it for my wife's cancer remission, what could be more logical than an indestructible INOX to represent my wife's strength of will to survive her illness.
Victorinox is an excellent brand that manufactures everything in-house.
It is a certain price for a quartz watch but what a great watch.
Oh I forgot: indexes, numbers and hands with super luminova.
I recommend this brand and all the models, with my eyes closed (well, open them to admire the curves of these watches).
For me, the G-Shock Suisse…

Victorinox INOX Carbon 

My late dad's engagement watch
What memories with this watch
When I wear it, it brings back my childhood and memories of a military dad who was a big guy who was afraid of nothing!!
But with me he was just a fair and teasing pair.
To get back to the watch, it is a Compressor model so rotating bezel inside the case which is 44 mm
Atypical design
It would need a little revision because it is a little late
My only vintage in my collection
Not a common watch


Tissot T12 compressor de 1976

Little gift from my dad for my 40th birthday
I like this abstract side of this Swatch chrono but not very readable with these colors and lines.
Comfortable and light.
It is fun to wear
Quite imposing as a Swatch but it fits on my wrist
It is a watch that I particularly like because it is the last watch offered by my late friend dad

The abstract chrono

The Victorinox brand was created in 1884 by Karl Elsener in the canton of Schwyz in Switzerland and launched into watches in 1989.

<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Victorinox watch cost?</h2>
The prices of Victorinox watches sold on the brand's website vary and differ depending on the model. Most are sold between &euro; 700 and &euro; 900 depending on the models and finishes. Count on &euro; 445 for a Victorinox Alliance quartz and &euro;2,395 for a Victorinox Airboss Mach 9 chronograph equipped with the famous Valjoux 7750 movement.

(Updated September 2024)

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

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!
