Product Description
With large, chunky numerals, a 24-hour indicator, and thick sword hands, the Victorinox Classic Infantry Vintage Automatic has a distinctive military aesthetic—but it wouldn’t look out of place at a nice dinner, either. The textured blue dial draws the eye to the center, while the rounded case creates a sense of balance and cohesion Read More
Watch is fine, but the bracelet is not as good as the one I have on another Victorinox chrono quartz, feels more like a Seiko bracelet ( but with solid end links ), same for the clasp.
Sadly lumes on numerals are weak.

Still a nice ( and small ) Victorinox auto.
PS: Price was $249.99.
I am 6.75 wrist, my wife is 6... Try to buy unisex type watches that either can wear.
Some boxes that need to be checked...
Under 40mm, check
Lug 20mm, check allows for a variety of bands that can be interchanged without buying multiple sizes.
Reasonable priced, how does this compare to some others with similar size (37-38), lug (20)...
Seiko SARB 017 Alpinist, Sapphire
Seiko SARB 033 (black) or 035 (khaki), Sapphire
Seiko SKX013, 37 mm diver, Hardlex
Seiko SNE049 (blue) or 039 (black), 37 mm solar quartz, Hardlex
Citizen BM8180, 37 mm Eco Drive, Mineral but has 18 mm lug. Great EDC value watch under $100 my opinion.
Would like this Victorinox more as quartz with lower price for a field watch but still price point is under the SARB lineup
I guess it's just me but I usually find victorinox designs very boring. Nothing that stands out as "wrong" about them, but at the same time nothing that stands out as "wow" either. As such, they leave me a little cold...
AleskbAgreed they are conservative. However I like that, because I don't want my colleagues focusing on my watch as much as what I am saying. I have found flashy designs can be hugely distracting.
This has to be the best looking Victorinox I have ever seen. That said, I am not buyng any more "affordable watches" until I sell some of my collecion. I need to stop buying so many watches in this price range and actually start pulling the trigger on more expensive pieces.
I have a 36mm DJ that I use as my daily watch. However, I have this watch and I use it at night (because my DJ doesn't have lume) and on the weekends (because it more casual looking).
Feel free to PM me pics. Also I suggest against getting a Datejust simply because they are overrated. Look into actually going to Switzerland and getting a timepiece there! Otherwise Seiko Spring Drive for amazing movements, or look into RGM's engine turned styles...
