Victorinox Swiss Army Men's Chrono Classic Brown Chronograph Watch

Victorinox Swiss Army presents the Men's Chrono Classic 241498, a sophisticated timepiece blending Swiss craftsmanship with contemporary style. This elegant watch showcases a Swiss analog quartz chronograph movement housed within a durable stainless steel case. Its prominent brown dial is complemented by a matching brown bezel featuring an engraved tachymeter scale, alongside a refined brown leather strap. The sapphire crystal covering the dial is treated with an anti-reflective coating, ensuring clarity in various lighting conditions. Positioned discreetly at 6 o'clock is a practical date calendar function. The watch boasts water resistance up to 100 meters, suitable for recreational swimming and water sports.

Victorinox Swiss Army has a rich heritage rooted in the cutlery craftsmanship of Karl Elsener, who established a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland in 1884. In 1891, he supplied the Swiss Army with its first Soldier’s Knife, marking the beginning of a legacy. After his mother's passing in 1909, Karl Elsener introduced the brand name Victoria, later evolving it to Victorinox, blending "Victoria" with "inox", from the French word for stainless steel ("inoxydable"). Post-World War II, the iconic "Original Swiss Army Knife" gained global acclaim, setting the stage for Victorinox's expansion into diverse product categories.

In 1989, Victorinox entered the American timepiece market under the "Swiss Army" brand, followed by a foray into Travel Gear in collaboration with the TRG Group in St. Louis a decade later. The introduction of Victorinox fashion in the US in 2001 further solidified the brand’s reputation for practical luxury. In 2002, the Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece brand was launched globally, promoting unity through Swiss precision and design excellence.
