Victorinox Swiss Army Cavalry
This is my only watch from the "other" Swiss Army watch manufacturer, Victorinox. Although I could be wrong, I believe Wenger was making Swiss Army watches before Victorinox, and for some reason I've just always been more of a Wenger fan. It's somewhat elementary now, since Victorinox bought Wenger, although I do take it a bit personally that Wenger is now the Swiss Army "value brand". This watch was my dad's and he wore it quite a bit, as evidenced by the heavily worn leather strap, as well as the scratches and scuffs on it (although the big scratch on the back I made the first time I tried to open it. I've since acquired better tools and more patience.) I just put a battery in it yesterday and the Swiss ETA quartz movement is keeping great time. The watch has a classic look and while it's only 36mm wide, it's just about the perfect size for everyday wear (square and rectangular watches always seem to wear bigger than similarly sized round watches, probably due to the increased dial area.) While the watch appears to have wire lugs, it actually has springbars hidden within. Completing the illusion is an open-ended strap which actually can be fitted to watches with wire lugs or fixed bars. Overall, a good looking and versatile watch.
