Built like the knife
By Dave Kowalski, Chicago ยท
Victorinox, the Swiss Army knife folks, made the I.N.O.X. to be basically unbreakable, and they really leaned into it in their marketing with all kinds of abuse testing. 43 mm by 13.4 mm, 21 mm lugs, Ronda 715 quartz, sapphire, 200 m. Black dial, date, rubber strap.
It's a tank. Chunky case, chunky lugs, big numerals. It looks like it'll survive anything, and everything I've read says it will.
The problem: it's $595 to $695 for a quartz. That's high. You're paying for the build and the Victorinox name. A G-Shock does a lot of the same toughness thing for less, if you don't mind plastic.
But I can't lie, I'd love this up on a scissor lift. No winding, no worries, and if I whacked it on a beam, I wouldn't flinch.
