Immerse yourself in the character of Swiss Military: Fortitude, bold physique and perseverance. The Swiss Armed Forces are unique in the entire world. Under the militia system employed by Switzerland, only about 5% of the country’s land and air forces are professional soldiers. The remainder is ordinary citizens. Swiss law stipulates that these citizen soldiers keep all their personal equipment, including weapons, with them at home. This unique provisioning requirement, coupled with Swiss precision and ingenuity, has resulted in a wide variety of military equipment becoming popular with Switzerland’s citizen soldiers, who in turn introduced their favorite tools to the world.Everyone knows about Swiss army knives. These versatile tools were invented by Karl Eisner in 1891, when he discovered to his dismay that the pocketknives supplied to the Swiss army were actually made in Germany. To remedy this embarrassing situation, Eisner came up with a better knife, putting blades on both sides of the knife using a special spring mechanism that allowed him to add additional features like corkscrews and screwdrivers.The Swiss military forces also took advantage of Switzerland’s watchmaking heritage and adopted a uniquely durable and functional wristwatch for their citizen soldiers.These Swiss military watches were distinguished by a large readable dial with oversized numbers and a simple, durable case. Like the Swiss army knives, these Swiss military watches quickly became popular with hikers and outdoorsmen around the world, because of their practical functionality.Today’s Swiss Military Calibre brand wristwatches pay homage to the original Swiss Military designs with a wide variety of functional styles that prove once again the value of form following function.Swiss Military Calibre men’s watches feature genuine Swiss quartz movements, with case diameters from 41mm to 45mm to accommodate today’s desire for a larger, more substantial case. The collection is available in many styles, including popular diver and chronograph models. Swiss Military Calibre watches are water resistant to 100 meters and feature a durable mineral glass crystal and hardened stainless steel case. Each watch is fitted with a stainless steel or silicon rubber band, depending on the style.This unique collection brings the proud tradition of Swiss military watchmaking and functional design to a new and younger audience. The company is committed to maintaining the high standards set by previous generations of Swiss military watches, while maintaining a price point that will keep the watch affordable for a wide audience. This is something that Switzerland’s practical and frugal citizen soldiers would be sure to appreciate.

Colour is striking
Watch was a bit larger than what I'm used to, but not overly so and it is fairly comfortable. The colour is a bit like a creamsickle, a bit of fun. One complaint is that it is not very luminous at night, which I regret. But price was good and I hope to be able to get many years of use out of it.

Excellent Watch!
After one week, it has not lost a second of time!Obviously, time will tell (no pun intended) as to the true quality of the watch, but I am quite please with this watch. Looks exactly like the photos & I like the orange with the black face and orange hands are easy to see. Also glow in the dark. It is heavy, but the band is comfortable! Make sure you like orange if you decide to buy, but a $300 watch for $88.50 is a wonderful deal, especially from a quality watchmaker!

keeps good time
The numbers on the outside have all ready faded and it hasn't been wet yet! The rubber band seems bulky.

Initial battery did not last very long----had to have it replaced.

OK, could have been even cheaper
Disappointed can't be read in the dark. An original price of 300 seems a stretch. Like the bright color for baseball game bling, but band will pick up some dirt, but it seems washable. Time accuracy seems ok.
