I bought the Victorinox I.N.O.X. in blue for my husband. Then purchased a green one for my son. Since my husband is not one to wear watches (I knew this) it is my favorite. I wear it all the time. May look out of place on a woman's arm but no one has said anything. No complaints, satisfied! I would like the Victorinox Night Vision next, just for going to the movies.

Keyser Söze not to revive an old thread but, I mean cheap compared to what. Glocks are cheap, very cheap. That is why so many police forces choose Glock. Not Wilson combat, or STI, or even HK. Glocks are inexpensive, they are durable but they are very inexpensive. Also stock glocks are as rare as a early 2000s Honda Civic.

I've owned my Swiss Army Wenger Quartz diver for over 10 years and it's still running strong. I really like the brand and would definitely consider adding another. One crazy thing that happened with it - I was wearing it snowboarding and the weather was between 10-20 with the wind chill and we were at about 11,000 ft above sea level. I got back in the car after a long day and the thing had stopped. I thought the battery had died....nope! Started ticking again once it warmed back up 15 minutes later. Kinda funny!

TGV, I have three INOX models, one blue with nato strap (gorgeous), one olive (limited edition with paracord camouflage strap) and a yellow diver that is amazing. The quality of all is superb. The rubber strap of the diver is the best I've ever seen, flexible but strong. For the purpose it was designed, this watch is clicking all the boxes. Recently Victorinox adds a version with the case made of carbon and another made of titanium.

Ernani Junior clearly you know from experience how good these are. I am thinking of saving up for the titanium professional diver, but I have a few questions. 1. Their test video show them putting them through extreme conditions, but I know sometimes companies fake these. Do you think that these can definitely withstand what they showed, or are they exaggerated? 2. I know it is a big watch, so I am wondering how it feels on the wrist. 3. Overall (I know this may be hard) how much do you recommend this watch on a scale of 1-10? Sorry if I’m asking a lot, but I just want to make sure that I spend my money well. Thanks very much.

Great review, I bought the blue dial 45mm professional diver watch and love it so much I have also bought it again in Titanium with a white dial, (but obviously changed the white rubber strap it came with for a NATO strap) I have also with in the last few days bought the original 43mm dive watch in titanium with a green dial with red 24 hour numerals marked on the underside of the glass, which looks very military officers watch in style. Victorinox is also now making the original steel dive watch in a size 37mm and 38mm on a para strap for those who have smaller wrists…… I think these are some of the best looking watches on the market apart from my Tag Heuer blue dial Monaco watch. Proof you don’t have to spend £5000 + on a Swiss made watch that works well and looks fantastic. Keep making great watch review videos.

I got a black dialled Professional Diver model with the steel bracelet as a gift for my graduation based on this review. It goes great on NATO, perlon, and rubber straps too. It does have some heft to it but I find that's a benefit, whereas I'm constantly checking to see if my F-91W has fallen off. I've taken it swimming, fishing, hiking, and hopefully diving one day. I love it to bits, its tough while looking classy, and I wear it in pretty much every situation that isn't formal or the gym. It combines the toughness of a G-Shock with the style and build quality of a much higher end swiss timepiece. Thanks for this review TGV, pure class as always.

Purchased the INOX pro diver 2 weeks ago, after first hearing about it here. I LOVE it! I have about 10 watches, all diver's. It has quickly become my favorite. I've paired it with a thick, distressed, leather band. While I prefer large, heavy watches, the INOX is rugged and well-built, however, I don't find it "heavy". I love that Victorinox included the rubber bumper. I'm the type to 'baby' items when they're new and then, after a few years relax a little. I have two very minor observations: 1) I would have preferred a coin edge bezel over the scalloped bezel and 2) I bought the black face model. I would have gone with a blue face, but the blue is very "blah" to me. If Victorinox ever produces the exact same Pro Diver as an automatic, I will be ALL over it.

Im 3 years late but the red Professional Diver was the watch I bought when I got hired as a Marshal. When I bought the watch I immediately did research and this was the very first video I watched on it. Thankfully, the watch is a very good fit on my wrist and really my only gripe is the second hand doesn't flawlessly line up with the tick marks, which as we all know is a common issue with quartz movements. My favorite feature on the watch is the massive screw-down crown and crown guards. Also, as I'm sure you probably already know Victorinox recently released an automatic version of the INOX, something currently on my wish list. Thanks for what you do and all your awesome reviews, cheers!!

Especially being so durable I will wear it without fear of damage at the gym when hitting iron.Since watching and becoming a subscriber to your channel I have become an overnight collector primarily of Seiko, Graf Zeppelin and Orient brands but now I am considering adding Victorinox to my collection.

Now as for the I.N.O.X, as you said, I also wish there was a ≈40mm version on the bracelet, that would be great for us with smaller wrists. Great review as always Tristano! hope to see more of Victorinox timepieces in the future, regards, Allan.

I picked one up (admittedly gray market) for about half retail. That's pretty much all I think this piece is worth. I needed a beater to wear at the beach and this fits the bill. My copy has a dial that doesn't align with the movement (a minor annoyance) and oddly, when the date change snaps into place (about 12:10 AM), the minute hand springs forward I'd guess about 15 seconds. It floats back over the next several hours so by the time I get up in the morning, It's not noticeable. A decent watch at $250 but certainly not worth $595 especially given the average Joe quartz movement.

Victorinox is famous for their knives, and they never let me or anyone else I know down. They're a great company with values for loyalty, quality and craftsmanship. That being said, I recently bought a victorinox swiss heritage watch and it also didn't let me down. Top quality stuff. Funny thing: they did many many tests of this watch one include going over the watch with an 8 ton excavator, and a tank , dropping it from 10 meters, 10000ft atmosphere test, and a lot of others and of course nothing happened to it. It really is tough as nails.

Hello everybody, great video, great watches! The Victorinox INOX is so great that I bought one in titanium with a leather band. The titanium is so light that the bigger size of the watch is forgotten on the wrist. This material is also very resistant against corrosion, which is why I want to use my INOX for windsurfing and snorkeling. The leather is the same that is used for boots of firefighters and is resistant against fire! Extremely cool! The INOX is so fantastic that I can almost realize a one watch collection. It keeps me away from buying other watches all of the time, even though I have a lot of timepieces in favor. My second watch is a very rare Kirium F1 Chronotimer from TAG Heuer with a shiny silver case and buckle and a black rubber band. To sum it up, I recommend the INOX to everybody. It is even good for people who have a Casio G-Shock, because the INOX has Swiss style and therefore looks better than every G-Shock ever made. Have fun! Konstantin

It was a gift for my 30'th birthday and I can see it being passed down the generations, my son already wanting it with the frase "Dad, dont you want a new watch soon. And by the way, my watch got lost probably stolen" Sow eventually I hope to pas it down for generations:)

Beautiful watch and i just purchased the "INOX Autumn Spirit" last month including cool and very comfortable paracord strap. I totally love it. Unlike the mechanical automatic version it withstands all the 130 tests originally designed for the INOX quartz watch for celebrating their anniversary in 2014. It has a very good quality 5 jewels swiss made Ronda 715 serviceable movement with EOL battery function. While i know that many watch snobs disdain quartz movements (sighs) i wish everyone should agree that BOTH versions have their beauty and strengths, both beautiful automatic and extremely reliable quartz one. Wonderful watch and i feel it's becoming an iconic timepiece, if not already. I love your intro too btw, i have always loved John Barry's music and feels:)...Pure class...(words from a simple watch enthusiast enjoying his INOX timepiece a lot)... PS:i know there as been many tests on it but since you mentioned tank one and since it has a soo cool music (The Troggs - Wild Thing) and feel here is the 64 tons tank test, which is an illustration and not the laboratory test of course (8 tons hydraulic pressure!), very nice photography and sound work too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3PFqqGLbcmUqNU I simply love all, a unique and such a great timepiece.

I have owned a Victorinox Maverick chronograph for a year now. I work at the warehouse of a factory, which means I have to move things around, ride forklifts, use impact tools and carry heavy stuff all in an environment full of hard surfaces and sharp edges. I've used the watch every day and in that time it has suffered a staggering amount of hard knocks and shocks, yet it still works and looks like new! The sapphire glass and the rotating bezel are intact. You can only tell it is a used watch by the slight scratches on the steel bracelet, but you have to look up really close. My only complain is that it is slightly less accurate than one would expect, about three seconds off every month, but that is my mania for accuracy talking. If you need a watch to work with and one that looks good (not those ugly G-shocks), don't doubt it: Victorinox. Cheers!

hello, i own standard INOX for 3 years and i couldn't be more happier. I own luminous, g-shock etc coz of robustness, but this watch is on different level. Its well built, finished, and handsome watch. It goes with casual and formals, you can do that with luminox and g shock. The craftsmanship is on par, i have pretty rough use and it had many scratches but its tank. I am gonna buy a divers version for more casual look, i built standard blue INOX with brown leather belt and it look more formal and descent. For your entry level swiss watch victorinox is better than tissot for the quality and craftsmanship they give. Good to go guys, buy them and you fall for it.

Love the Intro music to this Video! JB. I own three Victorinox.. the INOX with the metal bracelet which is really really well made... fiddly at first to get used to but.. once you do you love it. The bracelet version gives a totally different look. Very robust quality watch, Just recently got the Night vision and that too is an awesome watch, very well made, and then I have a Maverick. All quartz but they all serve as my rotational beaters. Quartz has its place and for their types of watches I do think it is appropriate. Highly recommend trying a Victorinox if you have never bought one.

I own this watch, received it as a gift. I love the weight and feel of the watch. WIsh it was a mechanical movement, but a great watch none the less.

I have the old Dive Master 500 automatic. The INOX diver has few issues, mainly: 1. overpriced, compare to Dive Master 500 line, it is a step backward. 2. the bezel is not easy to use as DM500, if you have thick wet glove on. Also the bezel on DM500 is more useful with 20mins marks. If they drop the price to much lower, it would be a good buy. Or if they keep the price, they should make it at least 500m water resistant.

The tank spec sounds impressive but in all reality that Tank probably puts down less ground pressure than a large human would or at least a small car. Its the whole reason vehicles like that use treads.

To be honest, my Victorinox watch is also a tank. I’ve had my Lancer 100 for 26 years. It’s been in several oceans, hundreds of lakes, pools, extreme cold (northern Canada), extreme heat (Shanghai). I’ve used it while doing hard outdoor work and it still keeps perfect time.

Honestly, I find the Vic Swiss Army Dive Master 500m to be quite a bit more comfortable than the Omega Seamaster Pro Diver on my wrist. When soaking wet I like the Victorinox 500m feel better. One of the best professional divers' ever made. And I always appreciate the heavy-duty rubber strap feel when it's wet and I'm under surface level.

Will be interested to see however how the size feels after all your commentary. Was looking for something that I would never need to remove regardless of diving, sailing, SAR, etc - looks like this is the one.

I just left my Victorinox automatic dive master 500 in a hotel safe that I'll never get back. For the 10 years i had it ran beautifully. I let it sit for Months at a time would always start right up. And it had a very close to sweeping seconds hand. It is no longer sold even if i wanted to drop the $1500 for a new replacement. Id 100% know if i seen it as it had a very unique scratch on the clasp. Now im looking for a new automatic watch in the similar price range. Something with the most quality for longevity. Any ideas ??

So psyched- I ordered the black Professional Diver and it's coming tomorrow. Got it for under $400 USD with next day-shipping from WatchMaxx.com with a 2 year warranty. (Nice deal, as it's still $595 from Victorinox' website.) Sharp watch! I've got a 7.5 inch wrist and sometimes like a larger watch like this one.
