Victorinox I.N.O.X. V241688.1: Built to Withstand Anything
This I.N.O.X. is not a watch to be handled with care. It’s for those who know that a watch can (and should) endure shocks, pressure, water, and extreme temperatures. Victorinox tested it with a 64-ton tank, a washing machine at 90 degrees, and 10-meter drops. This blue model is one of those survivors.
I.N.O.X., Piece by Piece
The 42 mm Steel case comes with the iconic black protective bumper. That ring isn't an ornament: it absorbs impacts and protects the crown. The thickness is 14.2 mm—it’s noticeable, but it’s part of its personality.
The dial is Blue, with a reliable finish that plays with the light. The indices are applied, with a generous layer of Super-LumiNova. The silver hands feature a red second hand—a detail that allows you to see, at a glance, that the watch is running exactly as it should.
The sapphire crystal features a triple anti-reflective coating. In the mountains, in the water, with the sun right in front of you... it’s always readable.
The crown is screw-down, as it should be on a 200 m watch.
The solid case back features the engraved Victorinox logo. There’s no need to see the movement here: reliability is guaranteed.
The blue resin strap matches the dial. It is flexible, resistant to salt water and UV rays, and features a steel buckle.
Movement: Reliable Swiss quartz.
It carries a Swiss quartz movement. It requires no maintenance, only a battery change every few years. You set the time and forget about it. For what it’s built for, it’s the right choice.
200 Meters and Extreme Testing
It is water-resistant to 200 meters. But what truly defines it are the tests Victorinox performed to certify the I.N.O.X. collection:
- A 64-ton tank drove over it.
- It spent two hours inside a washing machine at 90 degrees.
- It was dropped from 10 meters onto a steel plate.
- It endured temperatures from -50 to +60 degrees.
This V241688.1 carries that same spirit. It’s not just water-resistant: it’s resistant to almost everything.
