Victorinox Maverick Quartz V242094 Watch
The Victorinox Maverick Quartz V242094 belongs to the Maverick Quartz collection, the Swiss brand's line that combines a sporty diver-inspired aesthetic with everyday practicality. Victorinox, known for its multi-purpose knives, transfers that idea of a useful tool to the world of watches: the Maverick Quartz isn't an instrumental extreme-diving diver, but a sporty watch with diver elements designed to be worn without friction.
The movement is the Swiss quartz caliber Ronda 715, with hour, minute, second and date functions. The case is brushed stainless steel, 39 mm in diameter, 11 mm thick and 21 mm lug-to-lug. The crystal is anti-reflective sapphire. Water resistance is 20 ATM (200 metres), with a screw-down crown and screw-down case back. The bezel is bidirectional, in polished steel. The dial is blue, with indexes and hands with Super-LumiNova. The strap is blue rubber with a standard buckle, and the watch incorporates Victorinox's tool-free strap change system. The weight is 100 grams.
The highlight of this Maverick Quartz is the continuity of the blue: the dial and the rubber strap share the same tone, and that combination isn't repeated in all the 39 mm references of the collection. The rubber strap adds a practical advantage: it can be wet, rinsed and dried without the care that other materials require. The 39 mm case and 11 mm thickness keep the profile contained, and the double shock protection covers daily use without adding bulk.

Why choose this watch?
39 mm and rubber strap: comfort on the wrist
The 39 mm case and 11 mm thickness keep the watch in a contained proportion, and the rubber strap adds lightness and flexibility compared to a steel bracelet. The result is a 100-gram package that adapts to the contour of the wrist, designed to be worn for hours with less sensation of weight.
Ronda 715 with magnetic resistance and double shock protection
The magnetic resistance prevents the watch from being thrown off near phones, speakers or computers. The double shock protection absorbs the impacts of daily use, so that the precision of the quartz isn't lost due to a knock on the wrist.
Tool-free strap change: the watch adapts in seconds
Victorinox's system allows the strap to be replaced with a gesture. That means the same watch can go from the blue rubber strap to another compatible strap without going through the watchmaker.
Frequently asked questions
How does the quick-release strap system work?
Victorinox's system doesn't use conventional spring bars: the strap has an integrated anchoring mechanism that is released with a gesture from the attachment point itself, without the need for a tool. To change it, the anchor is released, the strap is removed and the new one is fitted until the mechanism is secured. The system is designed so that the strap is secured with the same gesture with which it is released, so that the change doesn't depend on external springs or additional tools.
Is it suitable for swimming?
Yes. The 20 ATM (200 metres) resistance covers swimming and shallow free diving, according to the usual water-resistance criteria. The crown is screw-down and the case back is screw-down, which reinforces the watertightness compared to a watch with a push crown.
