- R 9,450
The Victorinox I.N.O.X. 241724 represents Swiss engineering at its most uncompromising. Born from a relentless pursuit of durability, this timepiece survived 130 extreme tests during development — from being driven over by a 64-tonne tank to withstanding temperatures from -51°C to +71°C. The result is a watch that refuses to fail, housed in a robust 43mm stainless steel case with a distinctive protective bumper architecture that defines the I.N.O.X. aesthetic.
The vibrant blue dial features bold luminous hour markers and a signature red central seconds hand, ensuring exceptional legibility in any environment. A date window at 6 o'clock provides practical functionality, while the raised indexes catch the light to reinforce the watch's three-dimensional presence. Water-resistant to 200 metres (660 feet), this timepiece transitions seamlessly from boardroom to beach, powered by the reliable Swiss-made Ronda 715 quartz movement that delivers precision timekeeping with minimal intervention.

FAQ
Q: What makes the Victorinox I.N.O.X. so durable?
A: The I.N.O.X. underwent 130 extreme homologation tests during development, including being driven over by a 64-tonne tank, exposed to temperature extremes from -51°C to +71°C, and subjected to severe impacts. The 14mm-thick case with integrated protective bumper architecture provides exceptional shock resistance and structural integrity.
Q: How often does the Ronda 715 movement require battery replacement?
A: The Swiss-made Ronda 715 quartz movement typically delivers 3-5 years of service on a single battery, depending on usage patterns. Our watch servicing team at Cassims & Co. can replace the battery when needed and perform a pressure test to verify water resistance integrity.
Q: Can I swim and dive with this watch?
A: Absolutely. With 200 metres of water resistance, the I.N.O.X. 241724 is suitable for recreational diving, swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. However, avoid operating the crown underwater and rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to chlorine or saltwater.
Q: Is the bracelet adjustable to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet uses removable links that can be professionally sized to your wrist. Visit our Mall of the South boutique for complimentary sizing, or contact us to arrange sizing before delivery if purchasing online.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Victorinox retailer, this watch carries a 2-year international warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty cards and purchase documentation will be provided.
Q: What is the significance of the red seconds hand?
A: The red central seconds hand is a signature design element of many Victorinox watches, echoing the brand's Swiss heritage and providing high contrast against the blue dial for instant readability. It also serves as a visual confirmation that the watch is running.
Q: Will the luminous markers glow in darkness?
A: Yes, the hour markers and hands are treated with luminescent material that charges in natural or artificial light and glows in low-light or dark conditions, ensuring you can read the time at night or in dimly lit environments.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to chlorine, saltwater, or perspiration to prevent residue buildup
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes or prolonged direct sunlight, which may affect seals and dial colour over time
- Never operate the crown or pushers (if applicable) while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically with a soft cloth; for deeper cleaning, use mild soapy water and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly
- Have the water resistance tested every 18-24 months, especially if the watch is regularly exposed to water — this service is available through our watchmakers
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps) which may affect timekeeping accuracy
- If the watch has not been worn for an extended period, check that the crown is fully screwed down (if applicable) before wearing
- Replace the battery promptly when the seconds hand begins jumping or timekeeping becomes erratic — a depleted battery left in the watch may leak and cause movement damage
- Avoid impact to the crystal and bezel, and have any scratches assessed by a professional to determine if water resistance has been compromised
- Servicing the quartz movement every 4-5 years will ensure long-term reliability; our service team can provide manufacturer-approved maintenance
