VICTORINOX may have earned its stripes with the iconic Swiss Army Knife, but it is the brand's commitment to cutting edge technology, impeccable quality and precision timing that this new collection of watches inherits. The new Victorinox I.N.O.X. plays with carved shapes, strong geometrics, innovative materials and industrial codes, rooted in the Swiss brand. With a perfect balance of strength, elegance and performance, this unique design delivers smart sophistication that is rooted in Victorinox's industrial-derived ability avidly documented in the famed Swiss Army Knife.

Interestingly, the case boasts strong shapes and curves, and the reworked signature bezel looks as if a sharp pocketknife carved it out. The Swiss Army Knife itself is evoked in the counterweight of the seconds hand, while the chronograph movement describes the heart of the watch. The diverse models use steel, titanium for the case, and a carbon bezel or all-carbon for the lightweight and sporty version.

The ISO certification ensures water and shock resistance, allowing the watch owner the freedom to pursue any adventure activity. With adequate play for personalisation, all new watches offer a wide selection of interchangeable straps-paracord, rubber, leather, wood and more-to match mood, style, and utility.
