Condition Report
This Victorinox Swiss Army wristwatch is presented in Grade B condition, showing signs of age and normal use consistent with its vintage character. The stainless steel case displays scratches, small marks and natural surface wear. The polished bezel shows visible scratches and handling marks, while retaining its attractive appearance.

The white dial is generally well preserved, with minor surface marks and subtle signs of ageing visible under close inspection. The bold black Arabic numerals and inner 24-hour scale remain clearly legible, preserving the watch's distinctive military-inspired design.
The black hands and luminous inserts remain intact, although the strength and duration of their luminosity have not been tested.
The mineral crystal shows signs of normal use, including fine surface marks. Minor ageing and marks are also visible around the inner edge of the crystal. The stainless steel case back displays scratches and handling marks. The Victorinox Swiss Army engravings, reference number and water-resistance markings remain visible.

The black genuine leather strap shows minor signs of use and handling, complementing the overall appearance of the watch. The watch is equipped with a Swiss quartz movement.
Although the case back is marked "Water Resistant 100 Meters", the watch has not been pressure-tested. Water resistance is therefore not guaranteed.
