Product Description
The Victorinox name carries weight in the outdoors community—and so does this rugged timepiece. Made with a reinforced stainless steel case that’s water resistant to 200 meters, the I.N.O.X Read More
Possibly pick of the litter, depending on the final price, and especially if you're an Explorer fan.
Looks good in blue, but I'm partial to black dials. Would still advise hunting up some actual photos before getting too excited about either color.
Hey everyone,
We're very excited to be working with Victorinox for our next Brand Spotlight. They have been a long time partner of ours and they're reputation for mechanical excellence goes back over 100 years to their original founding as a Swiss knife maker.
For this spotlight, we will be working directly with the North American subsidiary of Victorinox for fulfillment and part of that means we will only be shipping these watches to the US and Canada. I know this is a bit of a bummer for our international users, but we are always working to expand our collections to those of you outside of North America in the future.
Agree with you on the inventory-less inventory model. MD gets similar deals with the other sources they use (the Heritor supplier comes to mind).
As for the grey market thing, I see something else developing--manufacturers producing merchandise specifically for the discount market, in the form of so-called "exclusives."
While technically not true grey market merchandise, manufacturers certainly have enough parts laying around (and the production capabilities) to create any number of variant configurations capable of shaving "X" percentage points off "normal" MSRPs and then offering them exclusively to a select group of higher-volume merchants. The net effect is a confusing lineup of bastardized watches that are difficult to cross compare and value.
I don't think the boys at Rolex or Omega will be showing up here anytime too soon, but they tend to do the same thing by offering new Limed Editions and/or new color ways, nearly every week--although at that level, it's usually to sell the watch at a higher price, rather than lower ;- )

Definitely worth checking out the Urban Gentry review to get a better idea of how big this watch really is.
Not too big for me, of course, but I'm guessing the slender-wrist crowd would probably want to pass this one up.
Damn...I think Massdrop is going to get me for this one. The flat blue dial, well I don't have a flat blue dial yet so I suppose it's not redundant.
EDIT::: Any plans for the mechanical version with the ETA movement?
