Swiss Chronograph Appraisal

Victorinox Swiss Army Chronograph Watch

The item is a Victorinox Swiss Army chronograph wristwatch, characterized by its robust and sporty design. It features a black, apparently PVD-coated, stainless steel case with a round form, housing a multi-function black dial. The dial displays prominent white Arabic numerals for hour markers, indicating a 12-hour format, with additional smaller minute/second markers along the outer rim. Above the '12' o'clock position, the distinctive Victorinox 'cross and shield' logo is clearly visible, signifying its brand origin. The watch is equipped with multiple subdials, a common feature of a chronograph, for measuring elapsed time. The hands appear to be luminous, with a broad main hour and minute hand and a thin white second hand. The bezel, which is also black, has numerical markings consistent with a tachymeter scale, suggesting its use in measuring speed based on distance. The crown and pushers are visible on the right side of the case, typical for chronograph movements. The watch is attached to a black rubber or silicone strap, secured by a black tang buckle, designed for durability and comfort, especially in active wear. The strap itself shows a textured or ribbed pattern near the lugs. The overall condition appears to be good with no obvious signs of significant damage or heavy wear, though some minor scuffs might be present given its material and likely intended use. This timepiece likely dates to a contemporary period, given its modern aesthetic and materials, perhaps from the last 10-20 years. Its construction points to a reliable and functional quality, typical of Victorinox products.
