Description
The Victorinox Maverick 241698 is a versatile Swiss-made timepiece that embodies the rugged reliability and precision engineering Victorinox is renowned for. With its 43mm stainless steel case, unidirectional rotating bezel, and robust black rubber strap, this watch is designed for those who demand performance and style in equal measure. The black dial features luminous hands and Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, complemented by applied indices and a date window at 6 o'clock, ensuring excellent legibility in all conditions.
Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, the Maverick delivers exceptional accuracy and low-maintenance reliability. The watch is water-resistant to 100 metres, making it suitable for swimming and snorkelling, while the screw-down crown and solid case back provide additional protection against the elements. Double anti-shock technology ensures the movement remains protected during active use, reflecting the same durability found in Victorinox's legendary Swiss Army knives.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, the Victorinox Maverick 241698 is water-resistant to 100 metres (10 ATM), making it suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water activities. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before water exposure.
Q: What type of movement does this watch use and how often does the battery need replacing?
A: This Maverick is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement, known for exceptional accuracy and reliability. Typically, the battery will last between 2 to 3 years depending on usage. When replacement is needed, we recommend having it done by our authorised service team to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can the rubber strap be adjusted or replaced?
A: Yes, the rubber strap can be adjusted by removing links or cutting to size (depending on the specific strap design). It can also be replaced with another compatible 21mm or 22mm strap. Visit us at our Johannesburg showrooms and our team can assist with sizing and strap options.
Q: Is this watch covered by a manufacturer's warranty?
A: Absolutely. This Victorinox Maverick comes with a full 2-year international warranty from Victorinox, valid from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: What is the double anti-shock system mentioned in the specifications?
A: The double anti-shock system is a protective technology that safeguards the quartz movement from impact and vibration. This feature is particularly useful for active lifestyles, ensuring the watch continues to perform accurately even when subjected to bumps and knocks during daily wear or sporting activities.
Q: Is this watch suitable for both men and women?
A: Yes, the 43mm case size makes this a versatile unisex timepiece. While traditionally considered a men's size, the Maverick's clean design and balanced proportions wear comfortably on a variety of wrist sizes. We recommend trying it on in person to assess the fit and proportions on your wrist.

Warranty
- Manufacturer's Warranty: This Victorinox Maverick is covered by a 5-year international warranty from Victorinox Swiss Army, valid from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes defects in the case, movement, dial, hands, and other factory-fitted components.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, cosmetic damage, battery replacement, damage caused by accidents, improper use, water damage resulting from failure to properly secure the crown, unauthorised modifications or repairs, or damage from extreme conditions.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not covered under warranty if damage results from improper use (operating crown while wet, exposure beyond rated depth) or failure to have gaskets and seals maintained during regular service intervals.
- Strap and Bracelet: The rubber strap is subject to normal wear and is not covered under warranty for gradual deterioration, discolouration, or loss of elasticity over time.
- Warranty Validation: To validate your warranty, retain your original proof of purchase from Cassims & Co. Warranty service must be performed by an authorised Victorinox service centre.

Care guide
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the case and rubber strap regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils. The rubber strap can be cleaned with mild soap and water, then dried thoroughly.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water exposure. Have the water resistance tested annually, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to water. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: While the Maverick is designed for active use, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals (perfumes, solvents, cleaning products) which can damage the rubber strap and seals.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for extended periods, consider having the battery removed to prevent potential leakage.
- Strap Care: Rubber straps can degrade over time with exposure to UV light and oils. Clean regularly and replace the strap if you notice cracking, loss of elasticity, or significant discolouration.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend having your Victorinox quartz watch inspected every 2-3 years. During service, seals and gaskets should be checked and replaced if necessary to maintain water resistance. Battery replacement should always be performed by an authorised service centre.
- Bezel Care: The unidirectional rotating bezel should move smoothly with distinct clicks. If you notice any difficulty in rotation or debris under the bezel, have it professionally cleaned to prevent damage to the mechanism.
