I want you to stop and consider a couple companies that are famous for manufacturing amazing watches. If you're like most, you probably thought of a couple Swiss watches companies. And that's because they've been making great watches for hundreds of year. That being said, not all Swiss watches are made the same. In this article, I'll take a look at the Chrono Classic made by Victorinox Swiss Army to see how well it holds up against the competition.
I always like to start with the negative stuff to get it out of the way. One little issue that sometimes pops up is with the stop watch feature ("chronograph"). Sometimes, it gets stuck a little off the spot for zero even when you reset it. But this isn't a huge problem and can usually be fixed by recalibrating the watch.
There's another little issue if you buy the watch online that you might want to know about. If you purchase this watch from a company other than Victorinox, like Amazon for example, you will lose out on their 3-year manufacturers warranty. So just bear that in mind and check out the warranty of the site you buy it from.
And that's really all the negative that I have to say about it. Yes, really, the positive qualities far outweigh any other negative glitches. In fact, this watch is Victorinox's secret gem. Plus, user reviews are overwhelmingly positive for it.
To start, everything about the watch gives off an aura of absolutely luxury. It was made with the simple, beautiful design that has become a Victorinox calling card. And the best part? It even looks better in person than the pictures online would indicate, which is saying a lot.
As for the construction of the watch, it's a very, very solid watch all-around. It has some serious heft to it, but not so much that it'll feel like a ball and chain on your wrist. The watch face is made out of Sapphire crystal, which makes it virtually impossible to scratch or damage. Seriously, this thing can take a good beating and still look new the next day. It also holds its time really well.
If you want to check out a really neat version of this watch, look at the PVD Coated variation. It has a textured look called "guilloche" that makes it reflect back light differently depending on how the light hits it. Between that look and all the nice details, it's a really beautiful watch.
In sum, this watch is a really incredible piece of Swiss craftsmanship. Between the incredibly beautiful design and the really solid construction, you'll have people staring at your watch for many years. And it would be hard to find a better deal on a watch since you can get the Chrono Classic for around $300 right now.
