Just like that, Victorinox Swiss Army was born. In 1891, Elsener and his coworkers deliver knives for soldiers in the Swiss Army for the original time. Six years later, the company legally protected the names Swiss "Officer's" and "Sport Knife." The model later became known as the Original Swiss Army Knife. Following Elsener's mother's death in 1909, the company integrated her name into the brand and unveiled it is well-known cross and shield emblem. Elsener arrived at the name Victorinox by combining the name Victoria with "inox," an abbreviation of the French word for rust-resistant steel, "inoxydable." In 1989, Victorinox officially entered the timepiece business in the United States underneath the brand name Swiss Army. In 1999, Victorinox collaborators with the American TRG Group in St. Louis and enters into the global travel gear market. In 2001, the company launched a fashion line in the U.S. with a collection that delivers technical and tailored styling capturing the brand’s essence of practical luxury. If that wasn't enough, in 2007 Victorinox sets up Victorinox Swiss Army Fragrance AG, and in 2009 Victorinox Swiss Unlimited was launched. Victorinox Swiss Army treasures it is heritage, the future is evenly inspiring. Innovation is at the heart of each Victorinox product it introduces, with stimulating technical progression allround all it is product categories. |

 Great Buy!
By William Shipman
This is a solid watch. I wear it each day now and I have a great deal to choose from. It may without apparent effort compete with the high end brands.
The only thing I could find faulty is that the second hand does not perfectly line up with the markers. This happens with a lot of quartz watches though. I purchased a Wenger GST with the same problem. I also have one Citizen that does it.
Bottom line is that it is a great watch for the money. I purchased it at a brick and mortar store and payed full price for it and I am still happy. That ought to tell you something. 5 of 6 humans found the following review helpful.
 Something to believe in
By C. J. Hinsch
I have had this watch now for four months. It has taken all sorts of each day abuse in stride and commonly stays on my wrist 24 hours a day. The stainless steel case is solid and of pretty brushed finish with polished accents. I suppose it to age gracefully. The sapphire crystal is still without scratches and must stay that way for a long time. When worn it gains 3 or 4 seconds a month, 11 when left in the drawer. The bracelet is solid stainless steel too, without sharp edges to dig into your wrist. The design of the clasp wards off accidental opening. The Arabic numerals are raised and polished to a mirror finish, contributing to the splendid legibility. I like and use the rotatable bezel; for my uses it is often more practical than chronograph hands.
There is not one thing I genuinely dislike but I would prefer a less cluttered dial without the inner set of numerals from 14 to 22. The date is too little to be read at a glimpse and I would prefer the austere look of just 3 hands. But these little idiosyncrasies will not reduce my pleasure of wearing this fine timepiece.

Nice Watch
By Phillip D. Davis
I was looking for a substitute for my 15+ year old Tissot PR200. I don't like the way the new Tissot watches look and this watch is simple and classic in appearance. The most primary features in a watch are a classic, timeless design, sapphire crystal and waterproof. I purchased this watch on sale for $300.00 which I feel is an magnificent value.
