Victorinox watches - the brand behind Swiss Army Watches and the famous Swiss Army knife - was founded by Karl Elsener in 1884. The company, which also manufactures travel gear, cutlery for household and professional use, apparel, and fragrances, created the first Swiss Army watches in 1989. Today, Swiss Army watches are sold in 120 countries around the world. All Swiss Army watches undergo 100 quality tests at the manufacturing facilities before reaching the consumers. Their distinctive and diverse range of watches - which includes special edition mechanical timepieces, dress watches, dive watches, pilot watches, and individual men’s and women’s series - are designed to fit different needs and environments. Best-selling Victorinox watches collections include the Alliance, I.N.O.X, Airboss, Alpnach, Maverick, and Chrono Classic Watches. All models are equipped with a superior water resistance rating.
Most Victorinox watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually Victorinox’s self-winding movements need to rotate 650 - 800 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch. Each watch is a work of art, a unique specimen.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your Victorinox watches. winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the watch winder and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
