After the successful launch of the Victorinox Swiss Army Original collection last year at Baselworld, Victorinox decided to make a chronograph version.

The chronograph version has the same - 40 mm nylon fiber middle case, stainless steel back and center, anodized aluminum bezel and laser cut out markers - with the addition of a chronograph. The movement is a Swiss quartz (ETA G10.211); functions include hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph (1/10th of a second precision) and date (at 4 o'clock). Shock resistant mineral crystal, screw-in caseback and locking crown. Luminous hour and minute hands. Water-resistance 100 meters. Nato strap made of 80% Japanese cotton and 20% polyester matching the dial. Available in green/black (shown), black, grey or gold.

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.
