Description
The Victorinox Fieldforce Chrono 241854 is a commanding timepiece that combines military-inspired design with Swiss precision engineering. Housed in a robust stainless steel case measuring 42mm in diameter and 11mm in height, this chronograph delivers exceptional legibility and functional versatility for the modern adventurer. The striking blue dial features bold Arabic numerals coated with Super-LumiNova® for unsurpassed day and night visibility, while three chronograph sub-dials provide comprehensive timing functionality. A tachymeter scale engraved on the bi-directional rotating bezel adds tactical utility, enabling speed calculations over known distances.

The rich brown leather strap with contrasting cream stitching and tang buckle closure provides exceptional comfort and a refined aesthetic that pairs effortlessly with both casual and professional attire.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, the Fieldforce Chrono 241854 is water-resistant to 100 metres (10 ATM), making it suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water activities. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before water exposure.
Q: How long does the battery last in this quartz chronograph?
A: Victorinox Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. Frequent use of the chronograph function may reduce battery longevity slightly. When your watch requires a battery replacement, visit Cassims & Co. for professional service using genuine Victorinox components.
Q: Can I see the dial clearly at night?
A: Absolutely. The Fieldforce Chrono features Super-LumiNova® coating on both the hands and hour markers, providing exceptional luminosity in low-light conditions. This Swiss-made luminescent material charges quickly in daylight and glows brightly for hours in darkness.
Q: What is the tachymeter bezel used for?
A: The tachymeter scale allows you to calculate speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph as you pass a starting point, stop it after travelling exactly one kilometre (or mile), and read the speed directly from the tachymeter scale where the chronograph seconds hand points. It's a practical tool for motorsport enthusiasts and navigation.
Q: Is the leather strap replaceable?
A: Yes, the 22mm brown leather strap uses standard spring bars and can be replaced with any compatible 22mm strap. Cassims & Co. stocks a range of quality replacement straps, and our team can assist with professional fitting at our Johannesburg showrooms.
Q: Does this watch come with an official Victorinox warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Victorinox retailer, this watch includes a full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Your warranty card and proof of purchase are provided with every timepiece.
Q: What size wrist will this watch fit?
A: The brown leather strap accommodates wrist sizes from approximately 160mm to 205mm (6.3 to 8.1 inches). If adjustment or strap replacement is needed, visit our boutique where our team will ensure a perfect, comfortable fit at no additional charge.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Victorinox Fieldforce Chrono comes with a 5-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- What Is Covered: Movement malfunctions, case or crystal defects, hands or dial defects, and manufacturing flaws that affect the watch's functionality.
- What Is Not Covered: Normal wear and tear, battery replacement, leather strap deterioration, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case or crystal, accidental damage, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to maintain water resistance, damage from unauthorized repairs or modifications, and damage from misuse or negligence.
- Warranty Validity: This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorized Victorinox retailer such as Cassims & Co. Proof of purchase from an authorized dealer is required for all warranty claims.
- Service Location: Warranty service is available through Cassims & Co. We will coordinate all warranty claims with Victorinox and ensure your timepiece receives expert attention from qualified technicians using genuine parts.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not covered under warranty if damage results from operating the crown or pushers underwater, failure to ensure the crown was properly secured, or lack of regular water resistance testing and seal maintenance.
- Customer Responsibility: To maintain warranty validity, do not open the case back, attempt self-repair, or have the watch serviced by unauthorized parties. Keep your original purchase receipt and warranty card in a safe place.
Care guide
- Daily Care: Wipe your watch with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove moisture, oils, and debris from the case and leather strap.
- Leather Strap Maintenance: Avoid prolonged water exposure to preserve the leather strap. Allow the strap to dry naturally if it becomes wet, and apply leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness.
- Water Resistance: Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before water exposure. Have the water resistance tested annually, especially if you frequently use the watch in aquatic environments.
- Crown Operation: Unscrew the crown gently by turning anti-clockwise, pull to the appropriate position for setting, then push in and screw down clockwise firmly after adjustments. Never operate the crown or chronograph pushers while underwater.
- Chronograph Use: Use the chronograph pushers with deliberate, firm pressure. Avoid rapid or excessive pressing. If the chronograph does not reset to zero perfectly, have it professionally serviced.
- Crystal Care: While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, avoid impacts against hard surfaces like concrete, ceramic, or other sapphire materials which can cause chips or cracks.
- Storage: When not wearing your Fieldforce Chrono, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete movement service every 4-5 years to maintain optimal performance. Cassims & Co. offers professional servicing by qualified technicians using genuine Victorinox parts.
- Battery Replacement: When the seconds hand begins to jump in 4-second intervals or timekeeping becomes irregular, the battery requires replacement. Visit Cassims & Co. for professional battery service with water resistance testing.
- Chemical Exposure: Avoid contact with solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and chemicals which may damage the leather strap, case finish, or seals.
