Swiss Army - casual watch, swiss army
The Victorinox Swiss Army Officer's 1884 (model #24727) is actually a replacement for an earlier version (model #24227). The earlier version is no longer made. The new model is better in many ways. First, while the look is strikingly similar to the previous version, this model is slightly larger and quite a bit heavier. If you don't like a heavy watch - you might want to look elsewhere. The overall appearance has been improved by the use of raised metal numerals, and a larger, stronger crown. The crown movement feels very precise and smooth. This watch includes a Swiss quartz movement, date display, sapphire crystal, 100 meter water-resist, and my edition is keeping good time (to about 1 second gain in 3 days.) Overall, this watch just exudes quality and precision. And while this is not a super-expensive watch (nor super-cheap) - it has an understated beauty about it that says "Please wear me!" Highly recommended. Victorinox Swiss Army Men's Officer's 1884 Watch #24727
This watch exceeded my expectations. The size is perfect... not hugely over-sized like some, but big enough to
look impressive. The weight is perfect also... feels substantial without being too heavy. Love the gold numbers
as well, which add to the look of quality. Chose the two-tone because my wedding ring is gold, but wanted to
incorporate the updated modern look of silver. Very pleased with every aspect of this watch.
The picture does not show the beauty of this watch, the finish is excellent and it is very elegant and always calls for the attention of everybody's eyes. There is nothing to complaint in this watch, it is simply a beauty.
This watch has been the best one of the 3 swiss watches i own. Bought one when i was in Europe in 04(Swiss military), This watch(06) and a Swatch back in Europe in 08. Out of the 3 this is the best. The crystal being sapphire makes it highly scratch resistant. It has been caught up at work while stocking shelves at my local grocery store. The pins never broke like my SM did. Great plus there. Overall quality is fantastic. the metal is showing wear but that is from daily wearing and it expected.Um what else. The price has gone up about $50 since i bought this back in 06. Don't let that scare you from buying this. You'll be happy that you did because this is a fantastic watch for anyone who wants to one up others in the watch category. Now buy your self one and enjoy the fell of this on your wrist. Also it would make a great gift for someone who is into watches. - Swiss Army - Casual Watch'
