Victorinox Air Pro Automatic Hands-On: Swiss Army's New Pilot Watch
The Victorinox Air Pro Automatic is a newly released pilot-style watch that combines functionality and military aesthetics. It features a busy dial adorned with the Swiss Air Force seal and incorporates a four-hand Swiss Made Sellita SW330-2 automatic movement, offering a GMT function that allows users to track time in multiple time zones. The watch boasts a 43mm stainless steel case, a robust black-coated finish, and a water resistance of up to 200 meters. It is complemented by a striking red rubber strap that enhances its overall appeal and comfort. Despite its strengths, there are minor design critiques, particularly regarding the "expanded" date window, which may be visually confusing but is cleverly matched with a black date disc for better integration. The watch lacks an external rotating timing bezel, which could have added to its functionality. Priced at $1,700 USD, the Victorinox Air Pro Automatic stands out as a stylish and practical option for those seeking a reliable timepiece with a military-inspired design, suitable for both pilots and travelers alike.
