The Victorinox I.N.O.X. Chrono is a testament to Swiss engineering excellence, built to withstand extreme conditions whilst maintaining refined aesthetics. This 43mm quartz chronograph embodies the I.N.O.X. collection's core philosophy: indestructible by design, sophisticated in execution. The black dial features bold luminescent hour markers, a date window positioned at 4 o'clock, and three chronograph sub-dials that provide precise timekeeping functionality. The stainless steel case — crafted from 60–70% recycled materials and finished with an anti-scratch coating on the bezel — exemplifies Victorinox's commitment to sustainability without compromising durability.
Housed within a robust 43mm case with a height of 13mm, this chronograph is powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement that ensures accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance.

The integrated black rubber strap with 21mm lug width offers exceptional comfort and resilience, perfectly complementing the watch's rugged character whilst remaining versatile enough for everyday wear.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or chemicals to prevent corrosion and maintain the rubber strap's integrity.
- Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water exposure to maintain the 200-metre water resistance rating.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers whilst the watch is submerged or wet, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Clean the rubber strap regularly with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly to prevent material degradation and maintain appearance.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature variations (saunas, freezing conditions) in rapid succession, despite the I.N.O.X. collection's exceptional durability.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you frequently use the watch for aquatic activities, particularly after battery replacement.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not wearing it for extended periods.
- Service the quartz movement every 3–4 years or when battery replacement is required to ensure continued accuracy and longevity.
- The anti-scratch coating on the bezel is highly resistant to daily wear, but avoid deliberate contact with abrasive surfaces.
