PRODUCT TESTS
Our watches comply fully with both ISO standards and the federation of the Swiss Watch Industry standards (NIHS). In addition, Victorinox has also introduced its own standards and internal tests. We self-monitor our production to make sure each stage is mastered perfectly and that our extensive certification controls are adhered to until delivery. Victorinox also certifies each component that is brought in from external suppliers. The Victorinox Quality Team conducts tests before certifying a design.
CONFORMITY Each component entering our production facility in Delémont, Switzerland is checked to verify its dimensions, aesthetics, inter- changeability, and physical and chemical resistance to guarantee its impeccable quality. This process is developed by our quality team, who defines standards for each type of component. All this occurs even before the production of a watch begins, thus ensuring the process is fully integrated from the very start.
WATER RESISTANCE Victorinox watch cases are hermetically sealed using high-grade rubber gaskets and screw-in case backs to ensure that the movements are not exposed to moisture or dust. In the manufacturing process, each watch is individually tested for water-resistance with ultra-precise machines. TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE Heat chamber and humidity tests are performed on Victorinox watches to make sure they continue to function perfectly in the tropics. Low temperature tests are also conducted to check that the watch – and more specifically the mechanism – can withstand cold weather conditions.
MECHANICAL & QUARTZ MOVEMENTS
Movement endures stress and strain throughout its lifetime. To ensure all of our movements remain functional and accurate for as long as possible, Victorinox simulates watch wearing in its own quality lab to test every quartz, manual and automatic caliber in its watches.
