Description
The Victorinox FieldForce 241850 is a purpose-built Swiss timepiece that channels military precision into everyday wearability. Crafted in Switzerland by the makers of the legendary Swiss Army Knife, this quartz watch combines robust functionality with the clean aesthetic of a field watch. The ivory-white dial is accented with bold Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, ensuring instant legibility in any environment, while the signature Victorinox red seconds hand and dual day-date window at 3 o'clock deliver practical utility for the modern wearer.
Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case with a fixed rotating bezel marked to 60 units, the FieldForce 241850 offers genuine tool-watch capability without excess. The brushed and polished stainless steel bracelet features a secure fold-over clasp, and the watch is rated to 100 metres water resistance, making it suitable for swimming and everyday water exposure. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of VICTORINOX watches, ensuring that every timepiece we sell carries the full backing of the Swiss manufacturer.
The quartz movement at the heart of this FieldForce model guarantees exceptional accuracy and minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for those who value reliability above all. The sapphire crystal resists scratches and ensures clarity for decades, while the screw-down crown reinforces the watch's water-resistant credentials. Whether you're drawn to the heritage of Swiss military watchmaking or simply need a dependable daily wearer, the 241850 delivers on both fronts.
Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg to experience the FieldForce collection in person, or take advantage of our nationwide delivery service across South Africa. Our team is committed to ensuring your watch arrives ready to wear, sized to your wrist, and our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to support you long after your purchase.

FAQ
Q: Is the Victorinox FieldForce 241850 suitable for swimming?
A: Yes. With 100 metres of water resistance and a screw-down crown, this watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational water activities. It is not suitable for diving or high-impact water sports.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The FieldForce 241850 is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, which provides exceptional accuracy and requires minimal maintenance. You can expect a battery life of approximately 2–3 years under normal use.
Q: Does the dial have luminous markers for low-light visibility?
A: Yes. The hour and minute hands feature luminous material for legibility in low-light conditions, making this watch practical for early mornings or evening wear.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized?
A: Absolutely. Our team at Cassims & Co. will size the bracelet to your wrist at the time of purchase at no additional charge. If you require further adjustments, our Johannesburg showrooms can assist.
Q: What is the difference between the FieldForce and FieldForce Chrono models?

A: Yes. When purchased from Cassims & Co., an authorised Victorinox retailer, this watch is covered by a 2-year international warranty from Victorinox, valid worldwide.
Q: How do I adjust the day and date on this watch?
A: Pull the crown out to the first position and rotate to adjust the date. To change the day, you may need to advance the date past midnight. Never adjust the day or date between 9 PM and 3 AM to avoid damaging the movement. Full instructions are included with your watch.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Victorinox watch is covered by a 5-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This includes movement malfunctions and manufacturing faults verified by Victorinox.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, damage to the crystal or case due to impact or misuse, water damage resulting from improper use (e.g. operating the crown underwater or failure to screw down the crown), loss, theft, or damage caused by unauthorised repair or modification.
- Validity: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Victorinox retailer such as Cassims & Co. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
- Claims Process: To make a warranty claim, contact Cassims & Co. with your original receipt. We will coordinate with Victorinox on your behalf to facilitate repair or replacement as determined by the manufacturer.
- After-Warranty Support: Even after your warranty period expires, Cassims & Co. offers ongoing support including battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and access to authorised Victorinox service centres.
Care guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperature changes, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents.
- Water Resistance: Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water exposure. After contact with salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Water resistance may diminish over time; we recommend testing every 2–3 years.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, then rinse and dry. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless confirmed safe by a watchmaker.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in 4-second intervals, bring it to Cassims & Co. or an authorised service centre for battery replacement. Always replace the battery promptly to avoid leakage damage.
- Sapphire Crystal: While highly scratch-resistant, sapphire crystal can crack or shatter if subjected to sharp impacts. Handle with care.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Periodically check the bracelet pins and clasp for security. If you notice any looseness, visit our boutique for inspection and tightening.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A watch box or pouch is ideal to prevent scratches.
- Servicing: We recommend a full service every 5–7 years to ensure optimal performance and water resistance. Our watch servicing team at Cassims & Co. can arrange this on your behalf.
