Swiss Army Quartz 242042 Watch

The Watch

The Victorinox Swiss Army watch, reference 242042, stands out with the bold, refined design that defines Swiss engineering. Its round 42.00 mm diameter case in 316L stainless steel delivers bulletproof solidity and unbeatable corrosion resistance. The model features a fixed blue aluminum bezel, adding a vibrant pop of color without compromising overall durability. The clean design is completed by a screw-down case back - a hallmark of water resistance and longevity - rated to 10 ATM, making it ideal for swimming and water sports. Sapphire crystal, chosen for its quality and anti-reflective treatment, covers the dial, protecting against scratches while delivering exceptional visibility in any light.

The Dial

The dial of this watch is a true reflection of modern elegance and functionality. Dressed in matte blue with a sandblasted finish, it subtly catches the light without dazzling, reinforcing the sophisticated, timeless look of this timepiece. Finely arranged Arabic numerals around the dial enable instant legibility. A minute track ensures precise time reading. A well-placed window at three o'clock displays both the day and date - two essential features for a watch that's as practical as it is elegant. The hands and indices feature SuperLuminova luminescent material, guaranteeing sharp, clear readability even in the dark.

The Movement

This impressive Victorinox houses a Swiss quartz movement celebrated for its reliability and precision. The Ronda 517 caliber powering this watch is a benchmark in watchmaking for its unwavering performance and extended lifespan - with a power reserve of up to 45 months. Beyond displaying hours, minutes, and seconds, it also shows the date and day through intelligently integrated complications. The Ronda mechanism is the go-to choice for those seeking a watch that bridges watchmaking heritage and cutting-edge technology.

The Strap

The strap of this timepiece is crafted in stainless steel for lasting durability and a beautiful look that stands the test of time. Its gray Milanese mesh finish adds both style and unmatched wearing comfort. Paired with a silver sliding clasp, it secures the watch on your wrist with ease, making it effortless to put on or take off. With a 21.00 mm lug width, this strap fits the robust case perfectly, creating a smooth, harmonious transition between the vibrant dial and the metallic bracelet for a polished, cohesive look.

Water Resistance

Water resistance is a standout feature of this Victorinox watch, rated to 10 ATM - making it well-suited for aquatic activities like swimming and surface snorkeling. While it's not designed for professional scuba diving, it provides reliable protection against moderate water immersion. The screw-down case back reinforces this resistance, keeping the movement protected from water and dust at all times.
