I first saw this watch at a Timeworks store for $1095 thought it was a nice looking masculine watch. Well look at it this way it stopped me as I walked by and I had just been by the Breitling store and was more interested in the Bently Speed 8 model car in the window. I was browsing Amazon when I saw this watch for $657 used super saver shipping and it took about 8 working days to Hawaii. Product arrived with no issues. It looks better on my wrist than it did in the showcase. I'm pretty small but 45mm size looks impressive. The watch is steel not titanium but wieght is not a problem. The PVD Black Ice finish is very durable. Couple features that would make this product a five star watch. Digital display not backlit (you will lose the use of digital in the dark but analog hands have good luminesence) a screwdown crown would make me more comfortable about water resistance. This watch has been called a poor mans Breitling Aerospace. That would be a kinda fair comparison the Breitling has backlit digital at about $2800+ on the low end but the Swiss Army's angled digital display windows look more tech/modern and the huge numbers are easier to read. I frequently wear ORIS watches but usually get "what brand is that" even from watch counter people. At $657 this watch is a steal the brand is reliable and respected.

Purchased the Victorinox 241301 Silver Dial watch for myself through Amazon.com. Yesterday, the number 2 (on the bezel) fell off and is inside the bezel face. When I enquired about the warranty through Amazon, I was told that they only cover the mechanics. The warranty card that was included with my watch was not stamped so it's absolutely useless at any Victorinox dealer. I really like the watch but its less than 2 months old, not worn often and the number falling off is definitely a defect. I"m sure if purchased from Victorinox, they would warranty it. DON'T BUY FROM AMAZON. You might save a few dollars but if you have any warranty issues, you'll end up paying MORE in the long run. BUYER BEWARE.

Like one of the other reviewers the number 5 fell off mine so i sent it back to Amazon. witch were great as it was broken. they refounded in full..but i can not understand why such an expencive watch falls to bits that easy.will not buy another one from that make.
