    Yes Sir,

    We still had that piece at the close of business today.

    It is really nice. Should I tell Chris to expect you tomorrow?

    I'm sure he'll respond in a little bit when he puts his wife and daughter to bed :)

    Limited Edition Swiss Army that we had advertised in the December issue of Forza.


    $1495
    45mm

    Brown dial
    Brown strap
    Automatic Chrono

    Very rare piece

    [email protected]


    This exquisite Limited Edition interpretation of the Ambassador XL Chronograph is driven by the Valgranges A07.211, an oversized and especially powerful mechanical self-winding movement with a 46-hour power reserve. Victorinox Swiss Army was among the first watch companies to incorporate this Valgranges movement into a timepiece. The beauty and craftsmanship of this impressive mechanism is showcased in the mineral crystal exhibition case back. The satin and polished finishes have been designed to perfectly define this beautifully sculpted 45.5mm case. Its sophisticated, deep-brown dial is characterized by contrasting finishes and two silver-accented chronograph totalizers featuring sapphire blue hands for both added legibility and design flare. A triple-coated, anti-reflective sapphire crystal and chiseled applied numbers add crisp, elegant dimension to the dial, and the crown − with embossed cross and shield emblem − reflects the brand’s full attention to detail. This practical luxury “statement in brown” is completed by a genuine rich brown leather strap in a luxurious matte finish with hand-sewn contrast stitching. Only 750 of this collector’s timepiece will be issued worldwide. Each will have an individually engraved, numbered case and will be packaged in a special collector’s box with certificate. The Ambassador XL Chronograph Limited Edition is practical luxury defined and performance driven for today’s growing connoisseur market. PRODUCT DETAILS Swiss-made mechanical self-winding chronograph movement (Valgranges A07.211) 46-hour power reserve Solid, satin and polished stainless steel case (316L) 45.5mm case with screw-in, shock-resistant mineral crystal exhibition caseback Water resistant to 100M (10ATM, 330FT) Triple-coated, anti-reflective sapphire crystal Luminous hands and hour markers Date calendar 1/4th second short time measurement, for up to 12 hours, on the dial Brown dial with genuine leather strap with special matte finish and hand-sewn contrast stitching Chronograph functions: 12-hour, 30-minute and 60-second chronograph timing Special Collector’s Box Packaging Numbered Certificate of Authenticity 750 timepieces issued worldwide This fine Limited Edition timepiece is covered by a 5 Year Limited Warranty

    Who makes the internal mechanizms for Oakley? Being more of a design company I'd think this would be contracted out.
