Switzerland is home to more than a few pillars of culture—EDCers in particular would recognize their Swiss Army Knives and watches the most—and there’s no mistaking that the products they’re known for are steeped in heritage. Victorinox more than any company is a big part of that legacy thanks to their part in making some of the most iconic tools in the world, and they’re infusing their experience into their latest Heritage watch collection. It brings back some of the best parts of vintage watches and builds them into watches ready for their own history, using modern features and materials while sporting a timeless military-inspired design.
There are a total of 10 different designs in the collection, all sporting different combinations of cases, dials and straps. While you might find a lot of variety here, the core principles of the collection remain the same across all the watches. Each of them comes with a 40mm case made out of 316L stainless steel in either its raw silver color or in a black PVD coating.
A screw-in case back houses their Ronda 715 analog quartz movement, and elevated tabs near the crown give it added protection. The Swiss Made movement gives the watches exceptional accuracy, and sports 100 meters of water resistance thanks to a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal helping seal in the watches’ dial and their movement.
This larger, 12-hour dial features large Arabic numerals in a contrasting color for maximum legibility. Around the center is a smaller 24-hour dial that gives a nod to the watch’s military origin. At 12 o’clock position is Victorinox’s shield logo in red and silver, and at 6 o’ clock is a useful date window. Sword style hands along with with a standout red seconds hand take center stage on the face, while Super-LumiNova coating on these hands, the numerals, and hour markers offer low-light legibility.
With a classic style, solid features, and a sizable combination of colorways to fit your style and carry, the Victorinox Heritage watches are yours to inherit at the link below.
