Victorinox is adding to its 'INOX' line of watches with a new model featuring a carbon composite case. The watch is titled the 'Swiss Army Carbon Mechanical,' and it is available from the company's website for a $1,150 price point.
The carbon composite case measures in at 43mm thick and it is comprised of materials that underwent space testing. This results in a case that is resistant to both heat and scratches.
The watch has a date window, and it is powered by a Sellita SW200 movement system. The movement system is able to power the watch for a total of 38-hours. Victorinox's new watch also has water-resistant properties that can protect it up to depths of 200 meters.
