Description
The Victorinox I.N.O.X. Professional Diver ref. 241736 is a purpose-built dive instrument that fuses Swiss precision with extreme durability. Housed in a robust 45mm stainless steel case, this ISO 6425-certified diver features a striking burgundy red dial with applied luminous indexes and hands, ensuring optimal legibility in low-light conditions. The unidirectional rotating bezel, essential for timing dives, is crafted from stainless steel with clear 60-minute markings. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of VICTORINOX watches, offering genuine timepieces with full manufacturer warranty and expert after-sales support.
This Professional Diver is engineered for serious underwater exploration, water-resistant to 200 metres with anti-magnetic protection to withstand exposure to magnetic fields that can affect timekeeping accuracy.

Powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement, this watch delivers precision timekeeping with minimal maintenance requirements—simply replace the battery every few years and continue your adventures without interruption.
The distinctive two-tone burgundy rubber strap with integrated keeper system ensures secure wearing comfort during active pursuits, from diving expeditions to everyday wear. The combination of the bold red dial against polished and brushed stainless steel creates a contemporary aesthetic that stands out both underwater and on land.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for professional diving?
A: Yes, the Victorinox I.N.O.X. Professional Diver ref. 241736 is ISO 6425 certified and water-resistant to 200 metres. It features all the essential characteristics of a true dive watch including a unidirectional rotating bezel, luminous markers, secure strap, and anti-magnetic protection. It is suitable for recreational diving and water sports, though professional divers often prefer higher water resistance ratings for extreme depth diving.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing in this quartz watch?
A: Swiss-made quartz movements typically provide 2-4 years of battery life depending on usage. When your watch requires a battery replacement, bring it to Cassims & Co. and our qualified watchmakers will replace it using a genuine battery whilst checking the water resistance seals to maintain the 200-metre rating.
Q: What does anti-magnetic protection mean?
A: Anti-magnetic protection shields the movement from magnetic fields generated by electronic devices, speakers, magnetic clasps, and other sources. Exposure to strong magnetic fields can affect timekeeping accuracy in watches. This I.N.O.X. Professional Diver is designed to resist such interference, maintaining precision even in magnetically challenging environments.
Q: Can I adjust the rubber strap myself?
A: The rubber strap uses a traditional pin buckle closure with multiple adjustment holes for sizing. You can easily adjust it yourself to find the most comfortable fit on your wrist. If you require strap replacement or professional adjustment, our team at Mall of the South can assist you.
Q: What is the difference between water resistance ratings?
A: A 200-metre water resistance rating means this watch can withstand pressures equivalent to that depth and is suitable for recreational scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming, and water sports. It exceeds the ISO 6425 minimum requirement of 100 metres for dive watches. This rating is tested under static conditions; dynamic pressure during water entry can be higher.
Q: Is the I.N.O.X. collection really indestructible?
A: The I.N.O.X. collection is subjected to 130 extreme endurance tests during development, including drops, vibration, temperature extremes, and impacts. While no watch is truly indestructible, the I.N.O.X. is engineered to withstand far more punishment than standard watches. It represents Victorinox's commitment to exceptional durability and reliability.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Victorinox warranty when purchased from Cassims & Co.?
A: Absolutely. As an authorised Victorinox retailer, every I.N.O.X. watch purchased from Cassims & Co. includes the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Your warranty card will be stamped and dated at the time of purchase.

Care guide
- Daily Wear: Although built for extreme durability, avoid unnecessary impacts and knocks that could damage the case, crystal, or movement.
- Water Resistance: Ensure the crown is pushed fully in and never operate the crown whilst underwater or when the watch is wet. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated pool water.
- Crown Operation: When adjusting the time or date, pull the crown out gently and push it back in firmly after setting. Do not force the crown.
- Date Setting: Avoid changing the date between 9pm and 3am when the date mechanism is engaged, as this can damage the movement.
- Rubber Strap Care: Clean the rubber strap regularly with mild soap and water to remove sweat, dirt, and salt deposits. Avoid exposure to solvents, oils, and extreme temperatures which can degrade rubber.
- Magnetic Fields: Although this watch has anti-magnetic protection, avoid prolonged exposure to very strong magnetic sources such as MRI machines or industrial magnets.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperature changes or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can affect the seals and lubricants.
- Servicing: Have your watch inspected every 2-3 years to check water resistance seals and movement condition. Battery replacement should be performed by qualified watchmakers who will pressure-test the watch afterwards.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from magnetic sources and direct sunlight.
- Professional Service: For any repairs, servicing, or concerns, bring your watch to Cassims & Co. where our experienced team can assess and service your Victorinox timepiece using proper tools and genuine parts.
