FAQ
Q: What type of movement does the Victorinox Maverick 241706 use?
A: This watch is powered by an automatic (self-winding) mechanical movement. It winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist throughout the day. If not worn for an extended period, you can manually wind it using the crown or use a watch winder to keep it running.
Q: Is this watch suitable for diving and swimming?
A: Yes, the Maverick Automatic is water-resistant to 200 metres (20 ATM), making it suitable for recreational diving, snorkelling, and swimming. The unidirectional rotating bezel allows you to track dive times safely. However, avoid operating the crown underwater and ensure it is fully screwed down before any water exposure.
Q: What is the function of the unidirectional bezel?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel is a safety feature for divers. It only rotates counterclockwise, preventing accidental adjustment that could overestimate remaining air supply. Align the zero marker with the minute hand at the start of a dive to track elapsed time. The graduated markings allow for precise timing up to 60 minutes.
Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
A: Victorinox recommends servicing your automatic watch every 3 to 5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Our authorised service centre can perform complete overhauls, including movement cleaning, lubrication, gasket replacement, and water-resistance testing. Contact us to arrange servicing for your Maverick.
Q: Can I resize the stainless steel bracelet?
A: Yes, the integrated stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized to fit your wrist perfectly. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing with your purchase at our Johannesburg showrooms. If you purchase online with nationwide delivery, we can guide you to a local jeweller, or you can visit us in store for adjustment.
Q: What is the advantage of a sapphire crystal?
A: Sapphire crystal is the most scratch-resistant material used in watchmaking, second only to diamond in hardness. The triple anti-reflective coating on this Maverick further enhances dial legibility by minimising glare from multiple angles. This combination ensures your watch maintains its clarity and aesthetic appeal for years to come.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Victorinox retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear, accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse. Retain your purchase receipt as proof of warranty validity.
Warranty
- Warranty Coverage: This Victorinox Maverick Automatic carries a 5-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- What Is Covered: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes manufacturing faults in the movement, case, crystal, hands, dial, and bracelet.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, aesthetic deterioration, battery replacement (not applicable to automatic models), damage caused by accidents, improper use, unauthorised modifications, water damage resulting from failure to ensure the crown was secured, or servicing performed by non-authorised personnel.
- Water-Resistance Note: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing gaskets, accidental shocks, or improper use. It is recommended to have water resistance tested annually, particularly if the watch is frequently used in aquatic environments.
- Validity Requirement: To claim warranty service, you must present the original purchase receipt or warranty card as proof of purchase from an authorised Victorinox retailer. Warranty claims must be processed through authorised service centres.

Care guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents, which can damage seals and finishes.
- Water Resistance: Although water-resistant to 200 metres, always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water exposure. Never operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated pools.
- Automatic Movement Care: If you wear your watch daily, the automatic movement will remain wound through natural wrist motion. If the watch stops due to inactivity, manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times before wearing.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically with a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water to remove dirt and perspiration. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless professionally supervised.
- Sapphire Crystal: While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, it can shatter upon severe impact. Avoid dropping the watch or striking it against hard surfaces. Clean the crystal with a microfibre cloth to maintain clarity.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a watch winder if you have multiple automatic watches to keep the movement running and lubricated.
- Professional Servicing: Have your Maverick serviced every 3-5 years by an authorised Victorinox service centre to maintain accuracy, water resistance, and overall performance. Regular servicing extends the lifespan of your timepiece significantly.
