FAQ
Q: Does this watch require battery changes?
A: No. The Victorinox I.N.O.X. Carbon Automatic features a Swiss automatic movement that is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. As long as the watch is worn regularly, it will maintain its power reserve without requiring any battery replacements.
Q: What is the power reserve of the automatic movement?
A: While Victorinox has not published the exact power reserve specification for this model, Swiss automatic movements of this calibre typically offer between 38 and 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound.
Q: Can I swim and dive with this watch?
A: Yes. With 200 metres (20 ATM) water resistance, this watch is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkelling, and shallow diving. However, the crown must be fully screwed down before any water exposure, and the watch should not be operated underwater.
Q: What makes the I.N.O.X. collection special in terms of durability?
A: The I.N.O.X. line underwent over 130 strength tests during development, including extreme temperature variations, vibration, shock, and impact testing. This model is ISO 1413 certified for shock resistance, making it one of the most resilient Swiss watches available. The carbon composite case adds exceptional strength while keeping the watch lightweight.
Q: Is the Swiss Army Knife included with the watch?
A: Yes. This model comes as a complete set including a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife in matching green, presented alongside the watch in the original packaging.
Q: Can the rubber strap be replaced with a different strap?
A: Yes. The watch features a standard 21mm lug width, allowing you to fit alternative straps. However, the original green rubber strap is specifically designed to complement the carbon case and green dial aesthetic while offering maximum durability.
Q: What is the warranty coverage for this Victorinox watch?
A: When purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Victorinox retailer, this watch carries a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement (not applicable to automatic models), accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse.
Warranty
- Manufacturer Warranty: This Victorinox watch carries a 2-year international warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to ensure the crown is secured, damage from accidents or impacts, unauthorised modifications or repairs, or loss or theft.
- Service Requirements: To maintain warranty validity, any servicing or repairs must be carried out by authorised Victorinox service centres. Cassim & Co. can facilitate all warranty claims and official servicing.
- Automatic Movement: While this watch does not require battery replacement, the automatic movement should be serviced every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance and accuracy. Regular servicing is not covered under warranty but is essential for longevity.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets or accidental impacts. We recommend having water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water.
- Proof of Purchase: Please retain your original receipt or invoice as proof of purchase date and authorised retailer status, which will be required for any warranty claims.
Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, strong magnetic fields, or direct impacts, although the I.N.O.X. is engineered to withstand exceptional stress.
- Water Exposure: Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water contact. Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Strap Maintenance: Clean the rubber strap regularly with mild soap and water to remove perspiration, dirt, and oils. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade rubber over time.
- Movement Care: As an automatic watch, it should be worn regularly to maintain optimal performance. If not worn for extended periods, the watch will stop and need to be wound manually or reset when worn again.
- Crown Operation: When adjusting the time or date, unscrew the crown gently, make your adjustments, then screw it back down firmly to maintain water resistance. Never adjust the date between 9pm and 3am, as this can damage the movement.
- Shock Resistance: While ISO 1413 certified for shock resistance, avoid deliberate impacts or dropping the watch, as the automatic movement contains delicate components.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete service every 3-5 years to ensure the movement remains accurate and the seals maintain water resistance. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and gasket replacement as needed.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps.
- Case Care: The carbon composite case is highly resistant to scratches and impacts. Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could affect the finish.
