Among the latest models that the legendary maker of expensive Swiss army knives planned to present at this year’s Baselworld show, was the new Victorinox Swiss Army Airboss Automatic (refs. 241505 & 241506) “aviator”.

Victorinox Swiss Army Alliance Quartz Chronograph
Next month, during the annual Baselworld 2011 event, Victorinox Swiss Army is going to present some of its new models. The new Alliance Chronograph (ref. 241478) seems to be the dressier among them. In fact, it is one of the dressier field watches manufactured by a Swiss-based brand that you can get in sub-$1k price range.
Victorinox Swiss Army Maverick GS Dual Time GMT
This Autumn, Victorinox Swiss Army will start selling its new Maverick GS Dual Time collection featuring a second time-zone indicator sometimes referred to as “GMT.”
Victorinox Swiss Army Infantry Vintage Chrono PVD
With its 2010 Infantry Vintage Chrono series of chronographs, Victorinox Swiss Army again targets a new group of customers and makes one more step into completely unknown territory. And here there be dragons.
Victorinox Swiss Army Airboss Mach 4 “Aviator”
First unveiled at the Baselworld 2009 and going on sale at the beginning of October of the same year, the Victorinox Swiss Army Airboss Mach 4 (ref. 241381) featured a “love it or hate it, we don’t care” layout of its huge dial, but had at least one advantage over competitors that you just could’t deny: it was powered by an almost legendary Unitas 6497 hand-wound movement known for its impressive power reserve, the decent ability for keeping good time, as well as that old-school charisma that more modern mechanisms simply don’t have.
Victorinox AirBoss Mach 6 Power Gauge “Aviator”
Featuring a cluttered dial and an oversized body, the Victorinox Swiss Army AirBoss Mach 6 Power Gauge doesn’t look like a practical choice. However, the exaggerated busyness of the exterior and the nice finish of its mechanical movement makes this “aviator” a nice fashion accessory for those who always dreamed about accomplishing a tour of duty on a real aircraft carrier.
