Hello, I hate to say this, but I think your watch may be a fake. The bezel is all screwed up; can't be rotated like a real Mach 2 watch, a "60" versus a lumenessent triangle, and finally, the lack of minute chapters all along its periphery. Google "Swiss Army Mach 2" to see what a real one looks like. The real one uses an ETA 2824 movement which can be very accurate if adjusted properly. Sorry, heb

 

Sorry it's a Mach 1 not mach 2. I don't think it is fake - I bought it from a reputable dealer. I have found the movement is and ETA 2824. If you google v.25091 which is engraved on the back it comes up. If it is fake it is a top job lol

 

Yes a Mach 1. I have this same watch and I'm actually wearing it right now. I actually like this watch a lot. I know some on WUS don't have many good things to say about this brand, but it have three Victorinox SA watches and I like them all. My Alliance quartz rivals my radio controlled Citizen for accuracy. This watch keeps decent time as well for an automatic.

From what I have read, it too has an ETA 2824 movement. Can't really discuss the movement with any great knowledge, but I've read that it is a really good movement. Many autos use it. I have a few watches with this same movement.

I will say though that the bracelet in the pic is not the stock bracelet for this watch. The stock bracelet is actually very nice. I have it on this watch. Your pic shows some space between the end curved link piece and the lugs, which isn't there with the stock bracelet.

Nice watch though. How do you like the infantry GMT Quartz? I'd like to see some pics if you have the chance.

Thanks.

 

No that's is not the stock bracelet - I bought it with the leather strap and didn't like it so I have bought the proper bracelet but just put this one on until it arrives. Here are some pics of the Infantry GMT - I like it a lot Bizarrely I bought this with the metal strap but decided it was too blingy so I bought the leather strap for it!

(I've never taken watch pics before sorry!)

 

2824 movements are solid workhorses, so if yours is not keeping accurate time you might consider taking it to a pro for inspection.

Could be something as simple as just needing to be regulated.

 

OK I've just done a controlled test over 24hrs. The control clock I used was my iPad - which I assumed to be accurate. Bothe the Mach 1 and the infantry GMT gained 4 seconds over the ipad. Maybe this means the iPad isn't quite as accurate as I thought? Or coincidently they both lost the same amount of time...

 

In my experience with the Mach I, it does gain about a minute every four or five days, depending on how much I wear it, but that has been my experience with many autos unless you have them regulated like someone else has mentioned. I generally don't expect my autos to be super accurate (except for my Stowa, which is pretty accurate), so I reset them when I notice they have gained some time.

I'm surprised the Quartz gained that much over 24 hours. I think I mentioned above that my SA Alliance gains maybe four or five seconds a MONTH.

I do like the look of the GMT though. I agree with your decision to put it on a leather strap. Looks nice, clean.

 

Hi I'm a newbe, but I have an airboss 6 with the leather strap with a 7753 in it. It's been a great watch over the last three months. I really like your and you do have a good movement that might need to be serviced

 

Got pics of the Airboss Mach 6?

 

Here you go.

 

Here you go

 

One second every 2 hours is 12 seconds/day, well within the specs for a 2824 I would think.
