More photos of the Victorinox Alpnach, which was officially announced earlier this week, have emerged. First, there is a previously unreleased black dial version with green accents (pictured below). Second, is the previously released dark grey dial version with orange accents, which now has a lighter colored grey dial and a black Victorinox logo, as opposed to white. It is not uncommon for a watch company to change design details, such as the dial, at the last minute. And it appears Victorinox did just that.
