- Timeless Quality and Subtle Elegance
-
Having recently purchased the Victorinox Swiss Army Heritage 241971, I can confidently say that it strikes the perfect balance between classic elegance and practical functionality. Here's my detailed experience after wearing it for a while:
Appearance and Design: The first thing I noticed about this watch was its understated charm. The dial, featuring a clean, minimalist design with crisp numerals and subtle luminescent hands, exudes timeless elegance. The classic black dial pairs exceptionally well with the vintage-inspired leather strap, giving the watch a refined yet casual look that's suitable both for formal occasions and everyday wear. The stainless steel case, with its polished and brushed finishes, further enhances its versatile appeal.
Size & Fit: At 40mm, the size of the watch hits the sweet spot—large enough to make a statement but discreet enough for daily comfort. The slim profile ensures the watch sits perfectly under shirt cuffs or jackets. For someone like me with an average-sized wrist, the watch sits comfortably without any excessive bulkiness, maintaining a subtle yet noticeable presence.
Functionality: While this is primarily a timepiece with minimalist intentions, it offers exactly what’s essential: accurate timekeeping, legible hands even in low-light conditions, and an easy-to-read date display. The subtle luminescent markings are practical without compromising the vintage aesthetic. The watch provides water resistance up to 100 meters, adding confidence in daily usage or occasional adventures outdoors.
Service and Delivery: Ordering from CHRISTIAN uhrenschmuck24 was straightforward and seamless. The delivery was prompt, and the watch arrived securely packaged with all original documentation and warranty papers.
Overall Impression: In my view, the Victorinox Swiss Army Heritage 241971 is ideal for those who appreciate understated sophistication without sacrificing functionality or quality. It’s the kind of watch that quietly conveys good taste and reliability. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and I highly recommend this piece for anyone seeking a versatile, durable, and elegant timepiece.
If you’re considering purchasing this watch, I’d confidently say: go ahead—you won’t regret it. It's genuinely worth every franc!
(Posted on 23.03.2025) - Victorinox Swiss Army Heritage — Strength in Every Second
-
I chose the Victorinox Swiss Army Heritage 241971 for my son as he began his journey in the Swiss military. This watch is more than a timepiece — it’s a symbol of strength, precision, and tradition. The bold design, with its rugged leather strap and clear, no-nonsense dial, reflects the resilience and reliability he carries with him each day in service.
Every tick of the second hand is a quiet reminder of the discipline and dedication required of him. Just like the Swiss Army itself, this watch is built to endure — dependable in any situation, ready for every challenge. It’s not just about keeping time; it’s about honoring it.
Proudly bearing the iconic Swiss cross, the Victorinox Heritage watch is a fitting companion for my son’s military journey — strong, steadfast, and timeless. (Posted on 04.03.2025) - Impressive

- Initially, I fell in love with this pretty Victorinox watch with a view to giving it to each of my two boys aged 22 and 23. Finally, I also took one for myself. We have an identical model in the family with 3 variants of dials and bracelets (241963, 241971 and 241964) and I think it's a lovely story between the dad and his children. This watch offers both a classic and sporty side and offers a sapphire crystal and water resistance to 100 meters with an excellent presentation that seems to exude quality and solidity. I also appreciated the signed finish of the crown and the incredible promotional price. For the record, I bought several watches on the site and I had a little problem for the first time with one of its three Victorinox watches. The Christian team treated the problem with the utmost seriousness and changed my watch as quickly as possible, so that I received the new one for my birthday. They even sent me the package by express mail without me asking for anything. Thanks to them ! In short, I am happy to own this watch which has joined my collection which oscillates between Swatch and Blancpain and I will continue to come back often to look at the offerings on Christian's website.

- An elegant watch with incredible details (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
- Sleek black leather strap, case finished in glossy black, dark-toned dial: at first glance it might seem like an ordinary watch, but it is anything but ordinary. The white numerals stand out clearly against the dark background, while the seconds hand and red Victorinox shield are details demonstrating impeccable care. The discreet date indication at six o'clock integrates harmoniously with the rest of the dial, while the afternoon hours in the center add a touch of aggression. Also note the Super-LumiNova coating of the numerals and hands which offers an extraordinary visual spectacle in the dark. Ultimately, a high quality watch that stands out for its excellence and attention to detail. (Posted on 25.01.2024)

Questions about warranty
How long is my warranty?
You will find details of the item's warranty on the relevant product page under additional information. We provide the official international manufacturer's warranty for branded watches and branded jewellery. This is at least 24 months. Individual brands or products sometimes have a significantly longer warranty. CHRISTIAN brand jewellery is guaranteed for 24 months.
What does the warranty cover?
A watch's warranty generally covers manufacturing and material defects, including the movement, hands, dial, crown and sometimes the case. However, it does not cover damage resulting from incorrect use, lack of care (see our maintenance tips), accidents or normal wear and tear (e.g. straps, batteries, etc.).
Questions about the products
Are your watches original?
Yes, all the products we sell are original and 100% new. They are purchased directly from the respective manufacturer.
Is the watch water-resistant?

What is the difference in colour between 14-carat and 18-carat gold?
18 carat gold contains 75% pure gold, which gives it an intense, warm yellow colour that radiates elegance. In comparison, 14 carat gold, with 58.5% pure gold, has a slightly lighter, more restrained yellow colour. In white gold, 14 carat appears brighter and more radiant, while 18 carat has a softer, subtle lustre. In rose gold, 14 carat stands out with a more intense shade of pink, while 18 carat is characterised by a softer, more restrained shade of red.
Does the jewellery come with a certificate of authenticity?
All CHRISTIAN diamond jewellery is sent with a certificate of authenticity indicating that our diamonds are natural and extracted from conflict-free sources. CHRISTIAN gold jewellery and silver jewellery do not come with a certificate. The responsibility label (CGZ stamp) on the piece of jewellery is sufficient to indicate that it was produced by CHRISTIAN AG. The gold quality is indicated by the symbol 750 or 585. The silver quality is indicated by the symbol 925.
