Victorinox Updates Old Classic -- The Original

After going for nearly a quarter century virtually unchanged, this fall,the Victorinox Swiss Army Company has decided to give it's classic watch "the Original" a shot of modern styling. 


The updates include a, slightly larger (40mm) stainless steel case and nylon NATO strap to replace the old mesh band.  The dial is brushed aluminum with stencil punch outs and the hands have been beefed up, making them easier to read. And it's not just pretty—it's still water resistant up to 330 feet and the hardened mineral crystal is virtually indestructible. The watch comes in four monochromatic colors --- olive green, tan, gray and black.  


Price at around $295.
