Victorinox Watches

Is WatchPilot an authorised Victorinox seller? 

Yes, we have a long-standing relationship with the Swiss brand, which means we’re authorised to sell its watches. Every purchase of a Victorinox watch from WatchPilot comes with official brand packaging and a five-year manufacturer’s warranty. 

Is Victorinox a luxury watch brand?

Great question. Victorinox is all about integrity. Its watches are made to look great and outperform similarly priced models from other brands. Although it doesn’t have the extraordinarily high price tags that we’ve come to expect from luxury brands, it’s still a force to be reckoned with in the world of Swiss-made watches. 

What’s the link between Victorinox and the Swiss Army Knife?

In 1891, Karl Elsener, the founder of Victorinox, started supplying soldier’s knives to the Swiss Army. By 1897, he had created what is now called the Swiss Army Knife. His invention was a worldwide phenomenon and allowed the brand to expand into other areas like watches, travel gear, and even cutlery. The Swiss Army Knife inspires all Victorinox watches.

Does Victorinox manufacture its own watch movements?

Yes, Victorinox creates its own automatic watch movements in Switzerland. The brand’s movements are recognised for their accuracy and durability too. It’s also worth saying that Victorinox uses resilient materials, like stainless steel, carbon composite and paracord bracelet straps, which means its watches are built to last. 

What is Victorinox known for?

Swiss-made watch brand Victorinox is especially well-known for its men’s chronograph watches, especially in the Maverick, Fieldforce and Alliance collections. Victorinox Chronographs were initially designed for pilots, racing drivers, sailors and athletes, so they’re robust enough to withstand anything you throw at them. Plus, they’re available with stainless steel bracelet straps, rubber straps and leather straps for a versatile finish.
