FAQ

Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?

A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, this Victorinox chronograph is suitable for swimming and snorkelling. However, we recommend avoiding operating the chronograph pushers whilst underwater, as this may compromise the seal.

Q: What is the antimagnetic feature on this watch?

A: The antimagnetic designation means this watch is protected against magnetic fields that can affect accuracy in quartz movements. This makes it particularly suitable for environments with electronic devices, speakers, or magnetic closures.

Q: How often does the battery need replacing in this quartz watch?

A: Swiss quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage. Our servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace the battery and pressure-test the watch to maintain its water resistance rating.

Q: What does the tachymeter bezel measure?

A: The tachymeter bezel allows you to calculate speed over a known distance or measure productivity over time. When used with the chronograph function, it provides a practical tool for measuring events per hour.

Q: Can the leather strap be replaced if it wears out?

A: Absolutely. The 21mm leather strap can be replaced with genuine Victorinox straps or third-party options. We can assist with strap replacement and sizing at our Mall of the South boutique.

Q: Does this watch come with the official Victorinox warranty?

A: Yes, as an authorised Victorinox retailer, we provide the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty with every watch, valid from your date of purchase.

Q: What is the lug-to-lug measurement of this 42mm watch?

A: While the case diameter is 42mm, the specific lug-to-lug measurement is not confirmed in our technical data. We recommend visiting our boutique to try the watch on and assess the fit on your wrist.

Care Guide

  • Clean the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and dirt.

  • For the leather strap, avoid prolonged contact with water, perfumes, and solvents, as these can cause premature deterioration and discolouration.

  • If the watch gets wet, dry the leather strap immediately with a soft cloth and allow it to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

  • Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it to preserve the leather strap condition.

  • Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper resealing and maintenance of water resistance.

  • We recommend having the watch pressure-tested every 2-3 years or after battery replacement to verify the water resistance integrity.

  • Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature fluctuations, strong magnetic fields, or impacts that could affect movement accuracy.

  • Do not operate the chronograph pushers when the watch is wet or underwater, as this may allow water ingress.

  • If you notice any condensation under the crystal, bring the watch to our servicing team immediately for inspection.
