Bring a little bit of classic style into your modern life with the Victorinox Swiss Army Men's Infantry Vintage Day/Date Watch #V251290. Featuring a traditional brown leather band with cream-colored contrast stitching, the sleek look of a 44-millimeter stainless steel case and bezel, and all the technical excellence that you've come to expect from Victorinox, this timepiece proves it's not all that hard to get the best of both worlds. Also offering a military green dial with off-white accents, including Arabic numeral indexes on each hour, a 24-hour counter featuring small Arabic numerals, and a subtle date window at three o'clock, this watch showcases a curved day-of-the-week window that displays the current day's full name just below 12 o'clock. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective finish protects the watch face and helps ensure easy-reference. And, of course, this classic watch is powered by precise, Swiss-quartz movement. It is held in place by a buckle clasp and is water resistant to 330 feet (100 meters).
The Victorinox Swiss Army Story
In 1884, Karl Elsener opened a cutlery workshop in Ibach-Schwyz, Switzerland with the support of his mother Victoria. Just like that, Victorinox Swiss Army was born.
In 1891, Elsener and his coworkers deliver knives for soldiers in the Swiss Army for the first time. Six years later, the company legally protected the names Swiss "Officer's" and "Sport Knife." The model later became known as the Original Swiss Army Knife.
Following Elsener's mother's death in 1909, the company incorporated her name into the brand and unveiled its well-known cross and shield emblem. Elsener arrived at the name Victorinox by combining the name Victoria with "inox," an abbreviation of the French word for rust-resistant steel, "inoxydable."
In 1989, Victorinox officially entered the timepiece business in the United States under the brand name Swiss Army. In 1999, Victorinox partners with the American TRG Group in St. Louis and enters into the international travel gear market. In 2001, the company launched a fashion line in the U.S. with a collection that delivers technical and tailored styling capturing the brand’s essence of practical luxury. If that wasn't enough, in 2007 Victorinox sets up Victorinox Swiss Army Fragrance AG, and in 2009 Victorinox Swiss Unlimited was launched.
Victorinox Swiss Army treasures its heritage, the future is equally inspiring. Innovation is at the heart of each Victorinox product it introduces, with exciting technical advancement throughout all its product categories.

defective wristband,
By Edward K. Burger (Kansas City, MO USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Men's 241290 Infantry Vintage Day/Date Watch (Watch)
The metal clasp on the wristband was defective. It came out of the holes, even after reinsertion twice. Finally I took it to a jeweler who drilled holes sufficiently deep to hold the clasp to the wristband.

Tampered Product,
By Rafael Pérez (Hartsdale, NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Men's 241290 Infantry Vintage Day/Date Watch (Watch)
This watch was bought as a gift. What an embarrassment! The watch leather bracelet was not the original one. It was switched with a cheap small one. Unfortunately the return window expired. I've been an Amazon customer for 12 years. This is very disappointing.

This watch is a classic as well as a classical watch,
This review is from: Victorinox Swiss Army Men's 241290 Infantry Vintage Day/Date Watch (Watch)
I purchased this watch from Amazon in early 2010. This was one of my most prized watches, I lost it due to travel about 2 months ago and I've purchased a second one to replace it. I've had many different watches in my lifetime, maybe 95 watches, I'm a watch collector of sorts however, and you will never see a Rolex on my wrist as that's simply a California status symbol. I currently own one Giuliano Mazzuoli, two Corums, one Bell & Ross, one Montblac, three ESQ's as well as a big brother to the ESQ's a Movado but my Vic... Also I try to keep the price for my any of my watches below a monthly house payment accept for one watch and that was by sheer luck and that was still under 3500, granted if I was a millionaire it would be different (I'm getting there ;)) My Vic however is or was my wrist passion... Because let's be honest, as men we have watches the same as women have purses. Our watches are symbols of who we are ironically while women like or even love our watches its when another man appreciates your watch. I'll strap on any of my watches depending on the week, month, or simply what business meeting I need to be in as we would never wear a Corum to a meeting where the people are Bell & Ross type men (hard working) and expect the same outcome. However, when I simply leave my everyday Vic on, no matter what, I always know that this is a great looking watch and it sets a standard for appreciation from anyone that understand watches and what they represent. The size of the watch is great, as I am 6' and my wrist is about 8"s so the 44mm case fits well for my frame. The color is rugged and goes with most clothes; you can never really go wrong with drabs and browns as a man. I recommend this watch as an everyday watch to ANY and EVERYONE looking for a single watch that would define them as who they wish to represent in life, even if that's not who you are but are trying to be. To the people that are reviewing this watch with bad reviews, I would look more to receiving a knock off watch as being the issue then this being a bad watch. You might wish to get the watch reviewed for authenticity and never trust anyone when you are buying watch sight unseen first. For me...this watch is great.
