FAQ
Q: Is the Victorinox Fieldforce 241851 suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water activities. However, it is not suitable for diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before water exposure.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The Fieldforce 241851 features a Swiss-made quartz movement, offering exceptional accuracy and low maintenance. Quartz movements typically require a battery change every 2-3 years, which can be performed by our technicians at Cassims & Co.
Q: What is the function of the rotating bezel?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel allows you to track elapsed time, useful for timing events, parking meters, or measuring intervals. The bezel rotates in one direction only as a safety feature to prevent accidental adjustment.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by our team at Cassims & Co. to ensure a perfect fit. We recommend visiting our Johannesburg showrooms for complimentary bracelet adjustment with your purchase.
Q: Does this watch have luminous hands for low-light reading?
A: Yes, the hour and minute hands feature luminous material that allows for easy time reading in low-light conditions, enhancing the watch's practical field-watch functionality.
Q: What is the day-date complication and how does it work?
A: The day-date window at 3 o'clock displays both the current day of the week and the date of the month. This practical complication updates automatically at midnight and can be manually adjusted using the crown positions.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Victorinox retailer, this watch comes with a full 2-year international warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Warranty
- This Victorinox Fieldforce watch is covered by a 5-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Victorinox retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Coverage includes manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, bracelet stretch, or crystal blemishes from regular use.
- Battery replacement, routine maintenance, and periodic servicing are not covered under warranty.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, failure to ensure the crown is properly secured, or operating the crown while submerged is excluded from coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, drops, or damage caused by unauthorised repairs or modifications will void the warranty.
- Warranty service must be performed by authorised Victorinox service centres. Proof of purchase from an authorised retailer is required for all warranty claims.
- Cassims & Co. will assist with all warranty claims and can facilitate the warranty process on your behalf as an authorised retailer.
Care guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or chemicals to prevent corrosion and maintain the bracelet's finish.
- Ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before any water exposure to maintain the 100-metre water resistance rating.
- Avoid operating the crown or pressing any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have the water resistance tested annually, especially if you frequently expose the watch to water. This service is available at Cassims & Co.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically using a soft cloth with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals, which may affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place when not wearing it, preferably in its original box or a dedicated watch case.
- Replace the battery promptly when you notice the seconds hand skipping or timekeeping becomes irregular. Battery replacement should be performed by qualified technicians to maintain water resistance seals.
- Have your watch professionally serviced every 3-4 years to ensure optimal performance, including gasket replacement and movement inspection.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as this may damage the quartz movement, crystal, or case integrity.
- Polish scratches on the stainless steel case and bracelet professionally if desired, though minor wear adds character to a field watch's aesthetic.
