The Victorinox Swiss Army Timepiece division has two reasons to celebrate in 2009: the 125th anniversary of the company and the 20th birthday of the first Swiss Army Watch. Exactly 20 years ago, the first Victorinox timepiece for the North American market was produced in the Jura Mountain region of Switzerland. Entirely in the spirit of the parent company, the products from the Biel watchbrand stand for quality, functionality, and the Swiss inventive spirit. As homage to the 125th anniversary of Victorinox, two models from the Infantry Vintage Collection have been launched by Victorinox Swiss Army in special series: First, a Jubilee Edition, which will only be made during 2009, features special attributes that set it apart from the standard collection and comes in a very characteristic olive-green styling. And then a Limited Edition, which comes in a unique combination of strong Victorinox red with yellow-gold dial décor and is limited worldwide to only 125 individually numbered pieces. The caseback of both models is engraved with the Victorinox anniversary seal and the inscription "125 Years - Your Companion for Life." The Infantry Vintage Limited Edition mirrors the 125-year history and roots of Victorinox, the manufacturer of the "Original Swiss Army Knife": a precision tool where great value was placed on optimum function, reliability and performance in its design. In addition, Victorinox Swiss Army connoisseurs will enjoy a very special watch edition in late summer this year. To celebrate the anniversary, the watch and knife specialists joined forces to create a travel alarm. The design and opening mechanism is inspired by the legendary Swiss ArmyKnife and makes the typical pocketknife "click" when opened and closed.
