Thank you Teddy for reviewing nthe Victorinox! I've been waiting for this video. I have the full black INOX Carbon 241777 in quartz, and I'd say that was my gateway watch that started my collecting journey. Love the watch and the best I can describe it is the Swiss GShock, which is a high honor to give.
I’ve had a quartz version of the INOX on a rubber strap for about 7 years. It’s had plenty of use and been knocked and banged a lot and used in varying temperatures and condition. It’s been fantastic, tough as old boots and I’d recommend it highly . Some serious bargains for the quartz versions on a well known auction website. If fact at one stage it was possible to get a new steel bracelet version complete watch, cheaper than Victorinox were quoting for a replacement rubber strap alone, that’s just the strap, no watch 😀
Ive been a cook for the last 11 years. Used many Victorinox knives and they are serious work horses. I only found out about their watches just months ago! Id love to be Victorinox out for work with a Vict. knife bag, knife, and watch. Lol so cool!
I wore victorinox for 30 years while working. never had an issue. ( @ 150 $ piece ). prior to covid - I would attend the warehouse sale - a great yearly event. I have since been able to purchase a couple rolex models - still keep my infantry model V . yours is the first Channel I have seen chat about Victorinox. good job. ~ JDS/CT
Really love the Victorinox review included in the Teddy Library. A Victorinox Swiss Army was my first nice watch, a major purchase at the time in 2006, and it still enjoys substantial wrist time to this day.
More great content, I think a bunch of us watch enthusiasts overlook that the good old "Swiss army watch" is a great place to start. I have a 20 year old quartz Victornox that I wore every day for at least a decade before discovering Tissot, and that watch is the reason I enjoy these types of videos and have become a modest collector. Thanks again for bringing the great content.
I’ve been looking at this for 2 weeks now. And after watching this review, I booked a time next week to get it. Looking forward to it! I’m usually used to Omega watches. For the price it’s an amazing watch with a great finish
I have several Victorinox watches (as well as other products). My favorite Victorinox watch is the I.N.O.X. Professional Diver with the Quartz Ronda 715 movement. I'm coming up on five years of ownership and it's still using the original battery! It is also the most accurate watch in my collection by far. This is the most durable piece that I have ever owned. I do not hesitate wearing it no matter what my plans. I wear it nearly daily and there is not even a fine scratch on it. I bought it new with both Rubber strap and Beautiful bracelet for $399.99 on a Black Friday sale. I cannot recommend the Quartz I.N.O.X. enough.
I have had a few tags and one Victorinox maverick and I think as for as looks, quality and price there are no other watches in their price range that are a better deal!
My wonderful girlfriend gifted me the quartz version of this watch in 2019 and despite the emotional aspect, it’s the watch I spend more time admiring and the one I get more compliments from people. I don’t have a huge wrist but if you micro adjust the bracelet - which is pretty easy - it fits perfectly. I can’t recommend enough.
First time I am seeing the watch but definitely fell in love with the dial and the shape. I just bought a new watch so I don't want to spend money currently but I will definitely get one of those.
I have this exact model on the wooden (that’s right: wooden) strap. It looks like leather but is actually made with tiny squares of wood. Not the most comfortable strap but it looks amazing. I also have the quartz version with a black face on a black leather strap. Both are absolutely incredible watches, and I find myself staring at my wrist more with these watches than any other in my substantial collection. They are absolutely gorgeous to me. It’s like they were made exactly for my 8” wrist. Other than the very weak lume, I can’t say enough good things about these watches. If you have the wrist size to pull it off, you will NOT be disappointed.
I absolutely love my INOX it's my daily wearer I keep it on my SS bracelet if you put the rubber strap on it it takes away from the beauty of the watch . For a piece that's under 1K it's definitely worth the money.
This Watch is like a Viking battle cuff big and bold . I'm 6'2" with a 8" wrist for me this watch is a perfect fit . The quartz Ronda Caliber 715 is a nice movement made of metal and not of cheap plastic . I love this watch nothing Dainty about it .
There are two versions of the I.N.O.X with different movements. One with a ETA 2824-2 movement and one with a Sellita SW200-1 movement. Is the Sellita movement a newer version? Which movement is better?
Important thing for any prospective buyer (Like myself) the INOX's Dial is only the dark 'Midnight Blue' colour like you see in this video when the watch is inside under soft lighting, outside or under strong/bright lighting it's a far more muted blue. I, personally, still intend to purchase one as I think this is an amazing little known bargain that had it a more auspicious badge would be 4x the price. But just be aware.
I just bought a blue Inox on a six inch wrist, this is a very comfy timepiece, and the legibility is excellent, never mind case size; the face size is spot on. I genuinely don't feel this watch on the wrist as it fits so well with the rubber strap,and in quartz, perhaps eth case is slimmer. Yet it feels heavier to pick up in the hand, strangely. This watch is no slouch.
As you said the size is a bit out of date and well beyond my comfort level. A couple of years ago I picked up an ETA 2836 powered silver dial 38mm Swiss Army Infantry for only US $50. Does it look experienced? sure, but for field use it's perfect.
Which is a better value buy and which one has the better movement? Victorinox INOX Mechanical or The Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80? Thanks in advance!
I love my inox, the only thing I wish they would have tapered the bracelet a little, reducing the tank effect and getting more of a dweller feel. Great review!
My first automatic watch is VICTORINOX Alliance Mechanical Automatic Black Dial and its movement is ETA 2824-2. After that about 4-5 years, I have to service it. Now, I have more watches with SW 200 movement and I think the ETA 2824-2 in my Victorinox isn't good as another watch with SW 200. Anyway, I also have a watch with ETA 2824-2 Top Grade and its accuracy is the same as COSC specification.
Teddy? Since you've probably have both dial colors in your collection : would you go for blue or black. From the pictures the blue looks a bit light and plasticy. Please let me know. Thanks
Hi teddy how’s a going? I just turned 21 and I work at my dads thai restaurant. It’s a casual setting, what watch would you recommend? My price range is from 100-3000
I have an INOX myself. Awesome as a field watch. Paracord strap is very interesting to wear and also while outdoors you can put a silicon (compass marked) protective cover. I am enjoying a black quartz version with black tactical paracord strap and it is awesome (I like my beater watches to be quartz).
Was just on the Victorinox site earlier today and have been checking them out lately as they are a great option imo for a sub 1000$ Swiss Watch. Was also wondering when I'd see a review as they haven't been talked about much but that will maby change! Coincidence? This is the same one I was most interested in, it is a smoking watch for the price imo and I wonder if the quartz version in has a smaller height and weight as that's a great deal as well. Tissot PRX and PRX 80 are another great option imo in that price range!
L8ke finding money 8n a jacket you haven't worm 8m a while. The fassion watches aren't unusual for me since I worked in that industry for a nimber of years. What I didn't find was my Rolex!!! Ithink it's long gone since my Ex had a propensity for giving away my stuff!!
I have a Victorinox Swiss Army Quartz, not really sure of the model, it was a gift I received in 2008, I wore it everyday until March this past year, gave it zero respect for 15 years, just dogged the hell out of it, and then knocked the crown off some how, I sent it in to get fixed and they didn’t have the parts. So, broken hearted, I go looking for a new watch, find Teddy’s reviews and now I own 8 (#%^!) watches, Thanks a lot Teddy!
Did you really miss mentioning that the strap you featured there is _wooden_ ?? That surface is not leather, it's wood! It's a fantastic innovation (as long as it stands the test of use and time), very unique!!
I own Rolex OP, omega speedmaster new model, two Tudor black bays, among many other watches but my victorinox mechanical keeps better time than all of them and is incredibly comfortable, superb watch
Wow I'm so glad you made this video, I had never taken Victorinox watches seriously before, I figured they were just cheap clunkers trading on the 'Swiss Made' aspect to get a sale. But that INOX has a beautiful dial which looks like Entry-Level Omega quality, and the various angled cut outs on the steel bezel give off a Octo Finissimo / Nautilus / Royal Oak vibe. As a whole I prefer this to the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 which is a similar price. I'm not a fan of Dive Watches, I know I know, sacrilege, but this is a nice in between I think, Diver Specs and Sensibilities with an Industrial 70's design. Your video convinced me, I'm gonna get one. Thanks for that mate. Always great to learn about an overlooked watch.
I don't think it's maybe Omega levels of delicate precision, and it's not meant to be an intricate and delicate design. But I think it's above Omega quality in how they've shaped the case. So comfortable. Well, actually it is intricate and precise when it comes to the dial... I've looked at several other options when looking for a new everyday beater watch, and this INOX is well above the quality of all the others I've been looking, at many easily double the price! It really is surprising that your comparison to Omega is valid. To me the design is amazing since it's a rare case of a very original design that just looks "right"! Feels right too. It think this will become an absolute classic. What's going to cost me is the price of all the straps I want to buy for it, since I can't decide on the wooden one (the top of that waffle design is not leather as this video incorrectly said, it's wood!), or the steel bracelet, and I want the rubber one in any case for sports plus I would really like to have the paracord one too! Four straps? Oof...
@@pistonburner6448 I just bought the Inox Professional Diver with the rubber strap with a black dial. Beautiful watch. I was considering a Hamilton Khaki Scuba but the deal I got on the Victorinox put me over. I picked it up for a very good price, couldn’t pass it up, plus I did a lot of research on this piece so like you I’ll have to spend the $$$$$$😳 on a bracelet but will dress it up nicely.
@@Daniel-yf9iy Well, that (relatively small) investment is going to last a lifetime...or many lifetimes. Good choice! (Besides, I like that watch on the rubber strap or the para-cord strap the most anyway)
I've had my eye on one of these for ages. It's a watch that looks far more expensive than it is and not that many people knew about it......until now! Damn it, Teddy! 😁
I wonder why this watch is so overlooked. I have the smaller size version and it’s my daily. On hikes, dog walks, etc. So reliable and totally ok with it getting banged about. For me it’s why I have never considered a Gshock.
Great but at this price I would add some and make it a Ball Fireman Enterprise. It has richer heritage and it's a marvel how much Ball squeeze into that 40mm dial and still keeps it relatively light. I am seriously considering it.
@@e28forever30 Are you talking about the quartz version? I dont know the automatic but I would give mine (quartz) a rating of 7,5/10 in lume. It is easy readable the whole night 8+ hours. My Citizen(s) and Seiko are much better in the lume department 9/10 but the Victorinox has it's own "overall-charm". The Lume in my Casio Duro is a joke.
Just tried on the INOX with the wooden strap at Victorinox... I really like it! Seems much higher quality than its price would suggest. And above all the design is really original and to me a home run. Really comfortable, isn't as big as it seems or numbers suggest IMO. I have a small wrist and it was not only visually a good size but comfort-wise too. The dial is a bit small, and I'd normally not buy a watch so simple so I'd want a chronograph version or at least GMT. Nothing else to complain about.
I have one, of 25 jewels. Its a tank, but irse dificulta to get bracelet and strap original of 21mm. In México i cant get bracelet, i wear it whit strap 22, en ebay say 21 mm, bueno tiene come in 22mm
I’ve been seriously considering an INOX. Teddy, I’d like to see you also review the new Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba auto. It is also 43mm, nice steel bracelet, 300 M water resistance, and has the advantage of an H-10 movement with an anti-magnetic spring for just under $1k. If you want an anti-magnetic INOX, you have to go with quartz.
@@jasonhall10 that video is a review of the previous generation of the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba. The current generation is significantly different with improved upgrades.
@@williambireley2529 My apologies. I’ve never paid much attention to that watch; I love Hamilton but the 24 hour scale on the dial makes it look too busy in my opinion. If I could get over that it seems like a great watch otherwise.
53mm lug to lug is crazy. I was wondering if victorinox was any good and I'm watching this video to learn a bit more, although this is a eye catching design, this lug to lug is just too big for most people out here.
@@christoph8333 haha... seriously..??? I just ordered a Benchmade 555S30V, still in the mail haven't gotten it yet. Benchmade with the Spyder hole is dope tho right..!!!
As noted, it's a big watch far beyond the size that would properly fit my small wrist. Otherwise, it's a beautiful watch and one that, if offered in a size under 40mm, I'd definitely consider. For the price point, it's nicely finished, with an attractive dial and quite nice bracelet (rubber strap also very nice). If they ever wanted to branch further into watches, they might consider dropping the "Swiss Army' on the dial and just go with Victorinox as the branding, which might help expand the customer base beyond those looking for the "Swiss Army Knife" of watches.
Hey Teddy, My local watch dealer is no longer going to carry Victorinox because he told me that Victorinox wants their dealers to sell ALL their products not just one area or two such as maybe watches and an assortment of their knives. They want them to sell their luggage too. I think this is a huge marketing mistake if Victorinox wants to appeal to the collector market as well. What’s your experience? I got a really good deal on my INOX professional diver from him. He says it’s a shame because he sells a lot of their watches and they’re good quality.
Thank you for showing love to this time piece! Very underrated!
This is such an underrated watch. Had mine (quartz version) since 2017 and it's fantastic. And oddly enough the watch I get most complimented on.
I just got it and added it to my collection! This is an amazing timepiece extremely durable with beautiful design and finishes! Thank you.
Thank you Teddy for reviewing nthe Victorinox! I've been waiting for this video. I have the full black INOX Carbon 241777 in quartz, and I'd say that was my gateway watch that started my collecting journey.

Is it make sense ? Just check the time on your wrist for 1000$
I'm planning to buy one for my father in law who enjoys tools and fishing a lot. This video explains everything I need to know. Thank you!
Came across this video…. As I’m wearing an INOX blue diver. Love it. Total beast
Have been waiting for a Victorinox Review for a long time! Really nice! Thanks!
Love my mechanic INOX, not the most expensive on my collection but one of my preferred for sure, a great watch.

Oh wow 🤭 ... what a nice looking watch! And that rugged look-n-feel is right in my wheelhouse.
Thanks for sharing.
I've got one and I love it!
Love to see a review of the victorinox airboss.
Got the quartz version on a hamilton pan europ nato strap in grey with navy and red stripes.. Marriage made in heaven. Beautiful watches Inox are.
I have a INOX carbon mechanical on the rubber strap and it's a great go to for a tougher under the radar Swiss mechanical for harsher days.
I just bought this on leather strap 3 weeks ago on Zurich Airport and I'm liking it
Enjoying this brand now!!!
good review
Finally.....Get to know this watch.
I got one of the forged carbon LE INOXs. Awesome watch.
This Watch is like a Viking battle cuff big and bold . I'm 6'2" with a 8" wrist for me this watch is a perfect fit . The quartz Ronda Caliber 715 is a nice movement made of metal and not of cheap plastic . I love this watch nothing Dainty about it .
Excelente video 👏.
I just bought this watch in Automatic. Absolutely love it. I own Rolexes and Breitlings this one feels better.
Is it working putting a tempered glass protector on the glass? Do you the size of the glass?
Thank you
Can't believe I missed this video. Is it possible to use the INOX as a dressier-sport watch too?
Revisiting this one again lately, do you prefer an automatic over a quartz movement?
My Vic. Alliance has a flat sapphire top and not curved but I think it actually works for the style.
There are two versions of the I.N.O.X with different movements. One with a ETA 2824-2 movement and one with a Sellita SW200-1 movement. Is the Sellita movement a newer version?
Which movement is better?
Important thing for any prospective buyer (Like myself) the INOX's Dial is only the dark 'Midnight Blue' colour like you see in this video when the watch is inside under soft lighting, outside or under strong/bright lighting it's a far more muted blue.
I, personally, still intend to purchase one as I think this is an amazing little known bargain that had it a more auspicious badge would be 4x the price. But just be aware.

What’s your opinion about the victorinox maverick?
As you said the size is a bit out of date and well beyond my comfort level. A couple of years ago I picked up an ETA 2836 powered silver dial 38mm Swiss Army Infantry for only US $50. Does it look experienced? sure, but for field use it's perfect.
I’ve got one but the bracelet was very hard to open, it’s on leather now, but the watch is really nice 👌
Which is a better value buy and which one has the better movement? Victorinox INOX Mechanical or The Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80? Thanks in advance!
I love my inox, the only thing I wish they would have tapered the bracelet a little, reducing the tank effect and getting more of a dweller feel.

These watches are reliable, well made, and a fantastic value.
My first automatic watch is VICTORINOX Alliance Mechanical Automatic Black Dial and its movement is ETA 2824-2. After that about 4-5 years, I have to service it. Now, I have more watches with SW 200 movement and I think the ETA 2824-2 in my Victorinox isn't good as another watch with SW 200.

The Lume in my Casio Duro is a joke.
@@christoph8333 Why?
Just tried on the INOX with the wooden strap at Victorinox... I really like it! Seems much higher quality than its price would suggest. And above all the design is really original and to me a home run. Really comfortable, isn't as big as it seems or numbers suggest IMO. I have a small wrist and it was not only visually a good size but comfort-wise too.
The dial is a bit small, and I'd normally not buy a watch so simple so I'd want a chronograph version or at least GMT. Nothing else to complain about.
Please start showing the watches outside and away from the body… 5th video I’ve written it now😉
I have one, of 25 jewels. Its a tank, but irse dificulta to get bracelet and strap original of 21mm. In México i cant get bracelet, i wear it whit strap 22, en ebay say 21 mm, bueno tiene come in 22mm
I owned a green INOX indestructible watch !!!
Confused between ionx and journey 1884
Not something i would run out and buy but If i needed an indestructible worry free watch i would consider it.
I have a large wrist will this band fit an 8 to an 8 1/2”?wrist?if not could you order extra links for it???
Dear William!
I have a 8 and 3/4" (21,5cm) wrist an I had to take off 1 link. I think if you have a 9,25" (23,5cm) wrist it could get tight.

I’ve been seriously considering an INOX. Teddy, I’d like to see you also review the new Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba auto. It is also 43mm, nice steel bracelet, 300 M water resistance, and has the advantage of an H-10 movement with an anti-magnetic spring for just under $1k. If you want an anti-magnetic INOX, you have to go with quartz.

@@jasonhall10 that video is a review of the previous generation of the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba. The current generation is significantly different with improved upgrades.
@@williambireley2529 My apologies. I’ve never paid much attention to that watch; I love Hamilton but the 24 hour scale on the dial makes it look too busy in my opinion. If I could get over that it seems like a great watch otherwise.
Teddy’s been lifting
What is the power reserve? 40hrs?

53mm lug to lug is crazy. I was wondering if victorinox was any good and I'm watching this video to learn a bit more, although this is a eye catching design, this lug to lug is just too big for most people out here.
The case and bracelet look like the Citizen Tough.
Which is a better watch overall, monocoque case, Solar drive, decent lume.
Хорошие часы, были похожие. 👍
Eta or Sellita?
Putting that Spyderco knife in the shot with the watch was a good idea....👍👍👍
That Spyderco is a Benchmade 550HG.
@@christoph8333 haha... seriously..??? I just ordered a Benchmade 555S30V, still in the mail haven't gotten it yet. Benchmade with the Spyder hole is dope tho right..!!!
@@christoph8333 now that I go back and look at it...it does have the axis lock...
Victorinox vs Tissot . Which one is better in 700 dollars segment . Can anyone pls tell me .
Both are accurate enough and well made. Chose based on your preference in design and use case, which are very different.
As noted, it's a big watch far beyond the size that would properly fit my small wrist. Otherwise, it's a beautiful watch and one that, if offered in a size under 40mm, I'd definitely consider. For the price point, it's nicely finished, with an attractive dial and quite nice bracelet (rubber strap also very nice). If they ever wanted to branch further into watches, they might consider dropping the "Swiss Army' on the dial and just go with Victorinox as the branding, which might help expand the customer base beyond those looking for the "Swiss Army Knife" of watches.
Hey Teddy,
My local watch dealer is no longer going to carry Victorinox because he told me that Victorinox wants their dealers to sell ALL their products not just one area or two such as maybe watches and an assortment of their knives. They want them to sell their luggage too. I think this is a huge marketing mistake if Victorinox wants to appeal to the collector market as well. What’s your experience? I got a really good deal on my INOX professional diver from him. He says it’s a shame because he sells a lot of their watches and they’re good quality.
