Victorinox INOX Mechanical
But this century, Victorinox has been greatly expanding the number of watches it makes, and five years ago made a big splash with the first INOX. Depending who you ask, the name INOX is either snipped from acier inoxydable (French for stainless steel) or else is a rather unlikely acronym that stands for “Impact Neutralising Object for the X-tremes”.
The watch was certainly tough, and looked good, too. But one issue – at least for people afflicted with a deep, not entirely explicable affection for all things mechanical – is that the original INOX was only available with a quartz movement. Victorinox has now put that right and released a new version of the watch equipped with the ever-reliable ETA 2824-2 automatic movement.
A nice additional feature is that it is available with a “unique, first of its kind” wooden strap. Whilst the watch looks great on the stainless-steel bracelet, the wooden strap is a nice option – especially for those who have fond memories of whittling sticks.
