I.N.O.X. Automatic Steel 242018.1 Watch

The Watch

Founded by Karl Elsener in 1884, Victorinox earned worldwide fame through its Swiss Army knives before expanding into fine watchmaking. The brand consistently delivers exceptional quality and distinctive design - and this 242018.1 watch from the I.N.O.X. Automatic collection is a prime example. It features a brushed and polished 316L stainless steel case in a round shape measuring 41 mm in diameter, crowned by an iconic bezel with a scratch-resistant coating. The sapphire crystal with triple anti-reflective treatment ensures effortless legibility. Set all functions using the knurled screw-down crown at 3 o'clock. The transparent screw-down caseback grants the watch water resistance to 20 atmospheres. This timepiece is delivered with a sleek grey storage pouch.

The Dial

The sunray dial of this watch features a rich blue backdrop enhanced by a guilloché finish for a sophisticated, layered look. At its center, three hands take shape - the two main ones treated with Superluminova for clear reading in the dark, displaying hours and minutes. The slender sweep hand with its red tip tracks the seconds. Applied indexes coated in Superluminova and two minute railroad tracks line the dial's edge for precise timekeeping. The 12 o'clock index gives way to the brand's logo, with Victorinox's name inscribed beneath as its signature. At 6 o'clock, a date window sits alongside details about the movement and country of manufacture.

The Movement

The automatic movement inside this watch is Swiss-made and delivers a clear, reliable display of hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Powering it is the Sellita SW 200-1 caliber, trusted for its precision and dependability. It offers a power reserve of 38 hours, beats at 28,800 vibrations/hour (4 Hz), and features 26 jewels to minimize friction.

The Strap

The strap on this watch is as refined as it is distinctive. Crafted in layered wood with a beautiful brown tone, it stands out with cross-grain lines across its surface and white contrast stitching along the edges. A deployment clasp keeps it securely locked on your wrist. A second strap is also included - made from rubber with a wave-pattern design. Its blue color pairs effortlessly with any outfit, and its pin buckle ensures a comfortable, secure fit.

Water Resistance

With water resistance rated at 20 atmospheres (200 meters), this watch comfortably qualifies as a dive watch. Our experts agree it handles showers, baths, lap swimming, freediving, and casual scuba with ease - but it's not built for extreme deep-sea diving, where pressure at depth would exceed its limits. Serious divers pushing extreme depths should look to our 30 ATM+ models. One last reminder: never operate the pushers or crown while submerged, to maintain a perfect seal.
