The most adventurous of tool watches

4.2

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...

Beautiful piece!

4.1

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.
