Victorinox is best known as the supplier and retailer of multi-purpose Swiss Army knives, and today it is the sole supplier of these instruments to the Swiss military. The company, just shy of 120 years of history, bears the name of founder Karl Elsener's mother, in 1909 - the name was adopted later in her honour. Initially the company was solely responsible for producing multi-purpose utility equipment to the Swiss army, but this was later expanded to other countries and companies, and today Victorinox's Swiss Army knives have sailed through space with NASA and climbed Mt Everest with adventurers.

The company's portfolio has broadened to numerous other equipment associated with travel and the military - luggage bags bearing the cross in a shield as well as cutlery and timepieces are part of its expansive range of products that include bayonets. Over the years, as modern equipment has evolved, so has Victorinox's multi-purpose knives and watches (today's Swiss Army knives include thumb drives alongside screwdrivers).

The Chrono Classic XLS MT is a brand new addition to Victorinox's Chrono Classic range, adding utilitarian functions to a popular Victorinox line. Like many other multi-function timepieces, the Chrono Classic XLS MT displays additional information within two digital displays; however, the various functions that it offers are all controlled by one single crown; ease of use is essential to the Victorinox watch.

The watch operates a chronograph with 0.01 second accuracy, alarm, countdown function and a perpetual calendar that speaks English, French, German and Spanish. A PVD treatment on the stainless steel case, designed to protect the watch case from scratches and damage, is offered in a cool ruthenium grey monikered Black Ice, with a stainless steel bracelet that will brave any environment.

My dad gave me my first and only Victorinox swiss army knife in 1990 as a gift and it is still with me up to now. It's my most reliable tool in the house and I use it in place of a tool set. The only thing I never used is the toothpick. I believe that any original item bearing the cross inside a shield especially the Chrono XLS MT will stand the test of time and will be with me for the long run... just like my trusty swiss knife.

Executive by day, party animal at night. And this Victorinox Swiss Army Chrono watch just perfectly suits my lifestyle. At daytime, this would give me more confidence as I face clients and candidates in every meeting. Classy at its best. And at night time, I just need to pull my sleeves up and voila! The watch is the next best thing there is. And this just defines who I am -- Someone who takes work seriously but also knows how to enjoy and unwind.

What I admire most about Victorinox Swiss Army timepieces is that it translates from formal to casual to rugged styles without compromising anything. It's simple, sleek and shouts style in every angle. Why do I deserve to own it? Apart from what I just mentioned, I need something to distract people in case I am late for an important event. :)

The clothes maketh the man and the watch defines one. It is probably not an exaggeration when you realise that the watch is the single most impotant accessory worn by a man, if not the only. The Victorinox Swiss Army XLS MT is the sartorial choice for the self-respecting swashbuckling cavalier in me. To be honest, I choose form over function, definitive features over the mechanics, but I just can't quite pass up the opportunity when it marries both seamingless, can I?

Victorinox Swiss Army Chrono Classic timepiece...the name itself is a perfect blend of both the feminine and the masculine nature. The same goes for the timepiece.Its elegant and posh,additionally a second look is guaranteed by anyone who adorns it. Well I am a Scientist (the geek and the classy poise) and additionally I do charity work from time to time(which evidently shows the feminine side) which makes me hitherto the perfect individual to own and brandish the awe-inspiring timepiece.

Victorinox Swiss Army products are well know for their durability, and military-inspired design. I like timepieces that are easy to use, scratch-proof, yet being sufficent 'cool' to use, perhaps even conversation-pieces... Simply, this watch has the right functions and attributes.

The truly special thing about watches is that there is a watch for every wrist and each individual has slightly different tastes, needs, and expectations when it comes to what they expect to get from their watch. In my case, I choose Victorinox watches beacuse of their wide range of models that adjust to my everyday routine, going from sport and casual, to business and elegant. Victorinox is practically a legend just by the name itself, and their timepieces live up to that reputation exceeding all expectations.

No matter if i am from Romania, the name of Victorinox was in my head since i was much younger and i have discovered the true meaning of being a confident man wearing a special watch(not a thing, a way to perfection). I know for sure that, this watch represents my image in the society...elegant, and especyally confident in my powers. Onestly i can't affort a watch like the Chrono XLS MT but in the future it will be mine. Thank you,

Being a Dental practitioner student, coming about as a gentleman is part of the job. But since I always like to go hiking, I am regularly working with wood (ie. making new scales for my worn Victorinox Spartan) and metals in the hobby shop and I am still young, I think this watch would suit me perfectly. This watch is both stylish and sturdy, plus the Victorinox label carries it's reputation with him. Ever since I was little I was in contact with the Victorinox label, mostly knives thru my grandfather who is still crazy about the knives (so am I). Up until this day, I try to expand my collection of Victorinox products and this would certainly be a great addition to it! Greets from Belgium and best of luck for the competition to the others!

Plain and simple. In my opinion Victorinox swiss produces one of the most suave time piece man has come in contact with. Being a Barrister at Law, not only requires one to be strictly obedient to time but also carry a certain boldness and in my opinion this time piece is meant for just that. Romio Bangladesh

This watch defines me because I love vintage looks combined with the latest technology and your name says it all, all you have to do is say: Victorinox Swiss Army! And useful and cool looking tools will come to my mind, but not only that, their watches mean a lifestyle to many people. With Victorinox you get the best of both worlds and I think the best of the universe: Great looks, precision, elegance, technology, innovation and unique designs from Switzerland to the world, often imitated but never duplicated! When you buy a Victorinox tool or watch it becomes a part of you, an extension of your personality!! Adventerous, but still displaying the best appearance Keep up the good work!

Business where time is important, sports to keep track of time and a jewelry that adds to your character. Where do you find a watch to match these criterias. Well, for quiet some time I've been looking around and had a hard time finding the watch to succeed in these demands and the person that I am. So when the movie "Source Code" was released back in 2011, the scene in the train, first in the movie, suddenly remarks it's self by showing a great looking watch at the wrist of Jake Gyllenhaal. That somehow showed me a timepiece wich suited me and my person. Clean and crisp in it's look, but at the same time classic and sporty. And what's even better, a reliable ETA-quarts movement mixed with two digital displays. Classic, sporty and moderne at the same time. With a depth and complexity that suites the person and character that I am. The fascination by the complexity of watches has always been on my mind. The complexity gives watches soul and personality, and adds to the overall design wich is a big factor as well. I see watches as a jewelry for men and woman. And the Swiss Army is no exception. It's not every day you would find a watch wich clears such many criterias. Classic arms, wich goes great to the rather special designed and dominant numbers around the dial. Two digital displays, with a number of functions, as alarms, multi-lingual perpetual calender, chronograph with a 1/100 of a second accuracy and lots more. It's just a great and very balanced watch wich holds the best from both the digital and analogue world. So it's nice to see that simplicity, efficiency and quality has moved on to Victorinox timepieces. What a great watch. My best.

I´m a Victorinox - fan since I was a little boy in East-Germany. Now I have over 40 different knives and tools in my collection. Some of these I use it daily, at home and at work. Sometimes I can´t take a Victorinox with me, particularly on airplane, because I often travel between the USA and Germany and I feel proper naked without a Victorinox. This watch could help me against my terrible feeling, there I then always a Victorinox at the wrist would have. This is a realy beautiful watch, a timeless symbiosis from analog and digital instruments. I like this and I would not to say "No", when I win it. Greetings from the 850 years old " Silvertown" Freiberg/Saxony

Je suis Suisse et j'admire Victorinox qui est une société exemplaire dans mon pays. Ils se sont diversifiés et ont su réagir à temps pour être plus compétitifs internationalement et cela leur a bien réussi. Aujourd'hui, Victorinox a une gamme diversifiée de produits. Et leurs montres sont particulièrement tendance et très appréciées. Qui ne rêverait pas de porter une Victorniox Swiss Army Chrono Classic XLS MT timepiece. Moi en tout cas je sais déjà à qui l'offrir, à mon mari qui adore ce genre de montres police ou army. En plus elle est magnifique... Désolée, j'ai écrit en français. Salutations

OMG! i googled this model & i realize the case diameter is 45mm!! that is really HUGE!! actually i have been looking for a large face watches so that i discreetly read time during meetings. You know, its kinda rude if you lift your hand and look at your watch when the client is talking.... Also a large face will be easy for my client to see, as you know, sometimes they just get carried away and its kinda hard to end the meeting. Doing Sales in Construction industry, we really have to wear something rugged and durable. What i love about Victorinox is that all their products are really tough and are made to last. And this series really looks goods even with a few trophy scratches. This watch is going add sophistication in my profession, definitely tough enough for my rugged enviroment & "Functional" during endles meetings.

What's on my mind when i hear of Victrinox? It speaks of quality and accuracy of Swiss timepiece maker. Though as compared to other Swiss timepiece maker, Victrinox don't come with the hefty price tag they produces high quality and designed watches. The thing i love about the Chrono Classic XLS MT is that its functionality and versatility all-in-one. With its analogue design, its well equipped with a chronograph boasting accuracy to 0.01 second for extra usage be it for sports, countdown timing or smart calender. Don the Victrinox in suit, semi-formal or casual event without worry of it not suitable. Perfect as a gift to any men with great taste. What's best is when quality, design and durability doesn't come with huge price tag.

My boyfriend is a very sentimental person, who refuse to change his watch as it was a gift from his father. However, he will be entering the working force real soon. And the watch that he has been wearing is not suitable for his working environment, in a bank. He likes something that is classic and also prefer a watch whereby he can wear to work, gym and even causal outing. I was hoping to win this watch for him as the design of this watch is so classic, sophisticated yet in a masculine way which fits him perfectly. Another reason why i want to get this watch for him is because this watch is designed to protect the watch case from scratches and damage in any environment. He is a rough guy therefore with this feature, his watch will never look old and full of scratch marks. I really hope to win this to give him a surprise before he starts his first job!

The Swiss Army knives has given birth to many copycats of its revolutionary product but its still dominates. The practicality and slick look of its products is what makes me love this 'cool shit', as what the teens would call it. I never seen a watch produced by these Swiss masters . It looks to be tough and towering watch but at the same time re assuring to its surrounding. This is what i may need to carry on my live saving job, with its functions of being chrono and the elegance of a dress watch. An inspiration i would like on my wrist.

I will be the first to admit that changes can be unsettling and that's why I would like to have a solid trustworthy companion that I can count on on my wrist all through life's ups and downs. From the days of medieval Swiss mercenary to the current modern Army, Victorinox Swiss Army have innovated and kept up with times, and always creating confidences with its products.

My hubby is a huge fan of Swiss Army and his current one is really old. It would be great to win one for him to wear it on our honeymoon trip. This watch will definitely provide us with the most accurate timing throughout the entire tour trip. It’ll help us to keep track of all the allocated times and be punctual for all the activities. And of course, this watch will make him look handsome and matches his summer outfits well. I’m sure he’ll be most happy to receive it as his birthday gift and also be able to wear it on our honeymoon trip.

Victorinox is famous for the original Swiss Army Knife and they are well-known for precision, quality, functionality and versatility. As expected from Victorinox, their watch is built Swiss army tough with accuracy to match and lasting durability to keep us on time for a very long time.

My first valentine's gift from the love of my life was non other than the mulitpurpose Victorniox Swiss Army Utility knife. This is a tool that rises up to all occassions, be it like the tooth pick or the scissors, though simple but could be of use in 101 situations till you decide to use it. It emodies the most important quality of a new age men of the 21st century and looking ahead - that is the ability to adapt to any given circumstance that we face. Irregardless of the different exterior that all of us possess, it is the core, similarly to the utilities that you can find in the Utility Knife package that tears one man from the other. With this kit around with me, be it the need to get a can open when no can opener is available, or passing it to her for her to trim the bad ends on her hair, cut her nails; this tool lives up to its worth. As for why I feel that this watch complements me like the Utility knife is because I am always on the move, I need an accessory that is able to weather the harsh environment but at the same time be able to flex its prestige. I was really attracted to this watch when I first saw the mailer about winning it. In my line of work, having class and creating an impression makes or breaks my deal, so stemming from its rich history from the many utility knives under its belt, the watch line would also share the same glory as its predecessors. In addition, as this watch is very versatile in its outlook, it would be able to complement any dress code for any occassion. I am certain with this watch, I would be able to deliver a smashing first impression to whoever it might be because its a Victorniox. Quoting: "A man choses his toys" "A successful man choses the RIGHT toys"

Victorinox Swiss Army represents rugged sophistication. Style uncompromised. My day of work in disease control begins with a venture to the outdoors for sites analysis and meetings with management of companies thereafter. Having a watch which speaks of me as a hands on personnel in the field but also demarking my area in the hierarchy is critical. The Chrono Classic XLS MT’s presence speaks. The many functions available give me the unspoken confidence in tracking time and supporting me in the field of tracking outbreaks. A person’s character cannot be augmented but it can be complemented. With the Chrono Classic XLS MT, I venture, with support.

Victorinox Swiss Army products have always impressed upon me with its cutting-edge design, no-nonsense approach, and most of all, its resilience expression. Been an admirer, will be, am still one. Lifestyle? Is it a way of living, spiritually and in physical sense? It is not something I can express with words. I live it. Tough. Determine. Gutsy. Owning a piece of Victorinox Swiss Army is my embodiment of true measure.

I am a long time admirer of Victorinox, and have a small collection of some memorable Victorinox Swiss Army Knives, including one which I bought in Interlaken, Switzerland, with my name engraved on it. In fact, I love it so much that I carry it wherever I go, not merely during traveling. With the many considerable functions embedded, I always find it handy. It's my pen, my scissor, my knife, my can opener, my toothpick, basically my main gadget before this society was flooded with smart phones (But even a smart phone cannot replicate a Swiss Army Knife functions yet :P), to such extent my friends even used to nicknamed me Doraemon! It's so good and versatile that I never used the SAF allocated jack knife but brought my Victorinox along during field camps. However, it's a pity that none of my Swiss Army Knives come with a watch, so I suppose I need a watch with equivalent toughness and characteristics to complement them! ^_^ I live an active lifestyle, games, swimming, trekking, movies, traveling etc. I reckon the Chrono Classic XLS MT will be an ideal companion as it provides adequate robustness and reliability. Its PVD treatment will prevent scratches resulting from rugged movements, and the illuminated hands tell the time even in dimly lit conditions, while its Black Icy finish is a natural camouflage against reflection for my in camp day training. I really like its appearance. Its non-flamboyant outlook blends in seamlessly with most attires as well as my humbling nature, and comes along with a class of Swiss precision and sexy elegance!

The name Victorinox is not a stranger to adventure-lovers like myself. Victorinox Swiss Army is world renowned and celebrated for their original Swiss Army Knife, well-known all over the world for its practicality, functionality and reasonable price. I am myself, a proud owner of several Swiss Army Knives aged more than 10 years each. I am totally amused as to how the century-old ‘cross and shield’ emblem and logo highlighting a reputation of outstanding durability and reliability adds to the already visually-striking piece of art in this watch. I am a regional auditor by vocation and sportsman by heart. Given that my Swiss Army Knives have always been there for me for the past few years, I am sure that a watch produced by Swiss Army will not fall short of that quality. I am sure that whether I am going around the corner or around the globe, this classical sports styled watch will make sure that I am equipped for life's adventures and work’s challenges. As a new age man, our wrist spells a lot about our personality and this watch is what exactly fits it. This melding of old and new – digital and analog – is what the watch reflects about myself, new age modern man with embedded traditional values. In spite of its unique appearance, the delightful watch is also extraordinarily strong – damage and scratches resistant – all important attributes for my adventure use. The chronograph with stopwatch and split time which confers immaculate precision and reliability will be of utmost usefulness during my track activities and timed endurance exercises. Equipped with a water resistance of 100m and so if I find myself wanting to go for swim, at least my watch will be safe. The professional effect of my dressing is clearly an impossible thing to achieve without being accessorized by the correct watch. Larger than other Classics that I own, the watch is truly eye-arresting wrist-presence from any perspective and is sure to impress during work. The watch can be also useful for my business travels with its alarm clock and dual time zone. I can no longer rely on only my mobile phone for such feature. The best part of it? With Swiss Army’s innovation, I need not deal with a dizzying array of buttons, bezels and complicated displays for all these features as they managed to put it all into one crown. Whether for my business purposes, casual use or for adventure use, I am sure that this ‘jack-of-all-trade” watch will rise to each and every occasion. To sum it up, the Swiss Army Chrono Classic is a clear representation of my personality - active and professional and enhances my every part of life by just being part of it – fun and work.

In my opinion a watch is not just an accessory, it functions as an extension of your personality, your lifestyle, and your work. As such I envision the Victorinox Chrono Classic XLS MT as the perfect extension of these elements. I have a competitive personality and strive for perfection. In this sense the Chrono XLS MT is a perfect fit with my personality because it is highly competitive, offering many advanced features (i.e., a perpetual calendar, two displays) that distinguish it from other brands. In considering my lifestyle I am highly active and need a watch that offers accuracy and durability. With the chronograph's 0.01 second accuracy, and the PVD treatment I believe the Chrono XLS MT will be able to handle anything I throw at it. Finally, when all is said and done, I face many stressful situations, sleepless nights, and rigid deadlines. I see the Chrono XLS MT as being the perfect companion to keep me "on track" and performing at the top of my game.

I guess a bottle opener or a screw driver will not be part of this watch's arsenal anytime soon. However given the robust and surgerical precision quality of Victorinox, i believe the rugged yet classy design is a definate compliment to my hetic lifestyle that requires a no fuss high performance time piece that suits all occasions formal or otherwise.

almost all Sg guys need to go for reservist

We all have our dress watch that we wear to work and out to party but when it's time to report to camp, the dress watch stay in the drawer and out come our cheap digital watch.

We don't want to damage our expensive watch in camp so we turn to cheap use and throw watches.

With this watch, this problem would go away. a watch that will look good in meeting with the bosses and signing million dollar deal.

A watch that can also go with me into the jungle and mission during in-camp training.

A watch that is so accurate that i can use it in my special ops mission (i'm a army path-finder when i go back in camp)

It can accompany me in my mission up to mili-sec accuracy for my Heli-ops. it can withstand the harsh environment and the demand i would put it through during my mission and at the end of the day when i re-enter civilian life, it can accompany me back to the board room and still looks good

This watch would become my mission companion in camp and in life.

This watch would suit my lifestyle as i need a gorgeous watch that is modern, stylish and most importantly, durable & practical. The accuracy, alarm and a calendar would help me in my hectic lifestyle. I dont usually wear watches as they scratch and damage easily due to the nature of my job. I would love a watch that would withstand time as i age along with it.

Timeless & enduring - a stainless steel bracelet would be perfect for my lifestyle that weathers any harsh environment conditions. I would definitely feel super confident like a prince wearing that watch for outings & events. With such a noticeable beauty from afar, a second impressionable look is guaranteed. The Victorinox Swiss Army defines me and my beliefs - it is modern, unique & has a distinctive strong male aura & flavor. Attractive indeed.
