I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive: Strength, Elegance, and Performance in Every Tick
Victorinox, a renowned Swiss brand known for its precision and quality, has once again raised the bar with the creation of I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive. Set to debut in January 2025, this exclusive timepiece seamlessly blends luxury aesthetics with Swiss engineering, bringing together innovative materials and timeless design. The I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive reference embodies the perfect fusion of strength, elegance, and performance. It is a tribute to Victorinox's roots and dedication to crafting watches that are not only functional but also stylish and resilient.
A Design Inspired by Legacy
I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive pays homage to the Swiss Army Knife™, the tool that made Victorinox famous in the first place. The watch's bold, carved shapes and strong geometric design are inspired by the iconic tool; its case features curved, durable forms. The bezel has been reworked to look like it has been carved by a sharp knife, drawing clear references to the precision and ruggedness of the Swiss Army Knife. The counterweight of the second hand and the Alox pattern on the pushers further emphasise the brand’s heritage, while adding subtle yet distinctive touches that make this watch uniquely Victorinox.
Available in two stunning versions, I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive features rose gold PVD finishes on the case, bezel, and screw-down crown, with a black PVD bezel on one of the variations. Both variations are equipped with recycled stainless steel cases and paired with modern, stylish, black, rubber straps, making them both functional and adaptable for various occasions. This timepiece's elegance and industrial aesthetics are crafted with precision ― therefore, it’s perfect for any wearer looking for sophistication and durability.
Built to Withstand the Test of Time
The I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive timepiece isn’t just about looks; it’s engineered for performance. Powered by the Ronda 5040.E Swiss-made quartz movement, this watch offers chronograph functions alongside a day and date calendar at 6 o'clock and weekday indication at 12 o'clock. The three-dimensional dial houses three subdials — one for small seconds, another for 1/10 second/hour, and the last for a minute counter, offering both precision and functionality.
In line with Victorinox’s commitment to durability, I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive features ISO-certified shock resistance and magnetic protection (ISO 764). These features ensure that the watch maintains its accuracy even under extreme conditions. Its water resistance of up to 200 metres (20 ATM/660 feet) implies that this watch is not only robust but also perfect for water sports and outdoor activities. Whether you're swimming, diving or exploring the depths of the ocean, I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive is designed to withstand pressure, providing you with unencumbered freedom during your adventures.
Masterful Manufacturing Expertise
At the heart of I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive lies Victorinox’s centuries-old expertise in Swiss craftsmanship. The brand’s commitment to high-quality manufacturing is evident in every detail of the watch. Victorinox’s Watch Competence Center in Delémont, Switzerland, is where the watch has been designed, engineered, manufactured, and assembled. The internal components of the watch have been meticulously crafted in-house, ensuring absolute control over quality and precision. From the stainless steel and titanium components to the carbon parts, each element is made with precision and care. The edges of the watch cases are finished by hand, a process that requires skill and experience.
Victorinox’s watches undergo rigorous quality control at every stage of production, ensuring that every piece meets the highest standards. These efforts are reinforced by a 5-year warranty+, a testament to the brand's commitment to creating long-lasting, reliable products.
Personalisation for Every Adventure
True to Victorinox's spirit of versatility, I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive comes with a tool-free strap exchange system. This allows you to effortlessly switch between different straps, whether it’s genuine rubber, paracord, leather or even wood, enabling you to personalise your watch to match your style or activity of the day. Whether you’re heading to the office or gearing up for an outdoor adventure, the strap system lets you tailor the watch to your needs without the hassle of handling tools.
I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive also boasts a range of specifications that set it apart as a true symbol of Swiss craftsmanship and innovation. The watch features a 43 mm recycled stainless steel case with a luxurious rose gold PVD finish, available in two distinct styles: one with a black PVD bezel and the other with a rose gold PVD bezel. The case is complemented by a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, ensuring both durability and clarity. The screw-in caseback and the protected screw-down crown in matching PVD finishes further enhance its resilience and water-tight seal.
The dial of I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive is as functional as it is stylish, featuring Swiss Super-LumiNova® on the hands and indexes, ensuring optimal visibility even in low-light conditions.
Needless to say, special functions such as the day and date calendar and chronograph cater for those with active lifestyles. With its robust design and impressive functionality, I.N.O.X. Chrono India Exclusive is indeed engineered to withstand the rigors of everyday life while maintaining the highest standards of style and performance.
