VICTORINOX – Pilot I.N.O.X. Carbon



VICTORINOXPilot I.N.O.X. Carbon Case 43 mm Black

DENSE. DURABLE. DEPENDABLE
 THE I.N.O.X. CARBON CONTINUES TO 
DEFY THE LIMITS OF TIME


Each new I.N.O.X. timepiece forges a further link between authenticity and innovation. The latest chapter in this quest for perfection is the I.N.O.X. Carbon. Made from a carbon resin composite that has protected space shuttles from reentry temperatures in excess of 1,260°C, it fearlessly heads for elevated performance levels.

When perfection is the destination, the design journey has to be spot-on. The I.N.O.X. Carbon combines extremely high structural rigidity with scratch resistance and hypoallergenic properties. A total of 130 homologation tests are the first milestone facing I.N.O.X. timepieces. In the I.N.O.X. Carbon, the seal of quality finds clear expression via a monobloc dial with stamped markers and digits to ensure shock resistance.

Its striking case gets extra shielding on everyday adventures from a transluscent grey, removable bumper. A Naimakka paracord attachment is an adventure-loving alternative to a genuine rubber strap, both in black. Traditionally used for parachute suspension lines, and with a breaking strength of 250 kg, the multi-strand nylon cord is permanently ready for 24/7 action.

Meticulous details are the undisputed building blocks of perfection. From the red military time printed beneath the crystal, to the subtle marbled effect affording each piece intrinsic uniqueness, the I.N.O.X.

Carbon stays true to the quest. The watch’s dense, matt black appearance makes a sleek modern statement, hinged on an industrial inspiration: a visible link between the proven Victorinox pioneering spirit and a high-tech present and future.

The House’s precious weaving technique was first introduced in 2016 with the Premier 36mm timepieces. The new Midnight Precious Weaving Automatic 42mm showcases the sublime work of Harry Winston’s master craftsmen, whose hand-weaving expertise honors Mr. Winston’s boundless creative spirit.

A rare technique from Japan

The Midnight Precious Weaving Automatic 42mm explores a rare Japanese weaving technique, in which silk gold thread and thin pieces of natural mother-of-pearl are woven together to create a unique tapestry of shimmering beauty. This unique art form was derived from “Raden,” the ancient Japanese practice of applying shells to wood and lacquer surfaces.

Masterpieces of textile art

The Midnight Precious Weaving Automatic 42mm is presented in an 18K white gold case and features a bold, yet abstract, motif made with interwoven mother-of-pearl and silk.
