Oooh this one kind of hurts, this was the watch that I always wanted but never bought. And it's everything I thought it would be. But sometimes you have to sell things that you don't want to sell...

So, here's your chance to get a quality, classic Swiss-made watch at a great price.

This is a really nice Victorinox Swiss Army Heritage, #241968, field watch. I'm the second owner -- first owner bought it new from Victorinox in March of this year. He only wore it a few times. I bought it about a month ago... and I've only worn it a few times. It is in excellent 95%+ condition

Classic design that is always in style, and can be worn with anything. The 40mm dial is easy to read with big (not too big) numbers, nicely designed with all sorts of details like the inner ring of numbers for 24-hour time, subdivisions of seconds, and the red second had and shield (which gets me every time). Date window is also easy to read, and comically, says the word "date" above it, in case you forgot what it was.

High precision quartz accuracy that you'd expect from a Swiss watch. Maybe gained a couple of seconds over a month. Sapphire crystal is in perfect shape. 100m water resistance, so it's ready for more than most people would ever give it. A few small (small!) marks here and there on the bracelet, and just the smallest hairline imperfection on the side of the case. I've tried to super zoom in on this to make it look as bad as possible, but in real life you might not even see it.

Disclosure -- the photo of the lume below was taken right after being "charged" for a few seconds with a flashlight, and is intended to demonstrate/display *where* the lume is on the dial/hands. It doesn't stay bright like that for too long, and overall just is pretty average in lume performance. That's nothing specific to this watch, I think Victorinox in general is not particularly known for all-night-lume (Lionel Richie, anyone?). Anyway, if that's the worst thing I can say about the watch... :)

Two other things to mention, because I don't always take the best photos...
* the photo showing the scratch on the bezel near the crown... the close-up of this and the lighting exaggerates this tremendously. In real life, I had never even noticed it before.
* for some reason, the back of the watch doesn't present itself so well in the photos. Again, in real life, it looks great and there's no issues. It's stainless steel, so it's very easy to clean and polish as needed.

Original purchase price was $395 (still available online through some dealers, but I'm not seeing the bracelet version on the V'nox site anymore).
Selling here for $175 PPFF, shipped CONUS (and FYI, this has about $20-25 built into the price for shipping)

Comes with the original box, extra links, paperwork, etc.

Thanks for looking!
