Review on 🏊 Victorinox Swiss Army Men's I.N.O.X. Pro Diver Watch: The Ultimate Choice for Adventurous Men by Warrick Dembo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceptional purchase at gray market prices

With a collection of over a hundred watches, I certainly have some experience of what to buy and although there is obviously a lot of money to spend on watches, which brings The greatest satisfaction the purchase of quality watches at a reasonable price. Victorinox is a solid brand that achieves this by offering features that MUCH more expensive watches have (and in many cases DO NOT have despite the much higher price) without having to break the bank. This is my fifth purchase of a Victorinox watch and for $375 I would say it is my best purchase from this brand and by far one of the most popular watch purchases I own. Now, if you don't like massive divers, be prepared to be unimpressed, but if you like a solid, very masculine watch that seems to last until the end of the century, then this is your pick. I've been looking for a sleek black dial diver for a long time and also wanted the INOX but they only had a small case size but this one is the perfect size at 43mm to 45mm just enough to fit on the wrist but not over the top . It's a nice weight, feels comfortable on the wrist but feels solidly built. Specs are a big win. An ISO 6245 certification for diving watches and the only Swiss watch to have passed 130 extreme endurance tests (giving it the INOX specification) and you can read how extreme some of those tests are means this is an impressive piece. Watch enthusiasts will love a lot here, but for the average buyer it just means this is a very durable watch that will outperform anything you make. So wear it in the boardroom or on your next adrenaline stunt and it will feel right at home in any setting. Superb bracelet, phenomenal screw-down crown, bezel with a crisp click (and cut very nicely), good light output, triple AR deployment. Coated sapphire crystal, Swiss quartz movement, antimagnetic coating, WR 200 m, clasp diver extension, excellent fit and finish. In fact, there's just nothing here not to love as this is a versatile and classic dive watch. They're on sale right now for $695, which is a lot considering what else is out there in this price range, and because I like to feel like I'm getting what I paid for, that high price is on the Game INOX doesn't cost (for me) a few hundred dollars more than a similarly reliable watch. But when I saw it here for $375 (only a black dial for some reason, and luckily that's the color I wanted), I couldn't stop myself. That's a ridiculously large number of watches at this price point. If price weren't an issue I'd certainly say they're worth a full retail sale like any other overpriced brand, but I'm quite picky about price and value. Victorinox doesn't usually have prices that high other than the cost of the watch, and despite the right to brag about the INOX bat, I think $700 is a little steep and they'd probably move a lot more of it if they did let the price around $550 where possible. be the same or better than what is in this price range. It's just a $500 watch or something, basic, so for less than $400 it would be a loss, so I got lucky here and have had nothing but luck with similar gray market deals, many of which I've bought here at Revain. So an excellent watch at a gray market price. At full price you'd have to be a pretty big fan of INOX to pay $700 as that's a much wider range of options in this range (especially from Deep Blue for example or other micro brands in the dive watch world). ), but if like me you can find them for a low price, don't miss them. do more than that and actually less given the elements of INOX. Instead of a $2,000 Oris, I would go with this. Again, from INOX's perspective, in real life you probably don't need a watch that can withstand being run over by a tank, but nonetheless the rigorous tests it's passed are impressive and it shows in self-confidence. You feel in the assembly of it. I would consider it at full price but consider it a bargain for the price here. Thank you for reading!
