Victorinox Swiss Army Men's ChronoPro Watch #24162 Review
This is an absolutely gorgeous watch and one of the best I've seen from Victorinox. It is a discontinued timepiece and amazon is one of the few remaining places you can find it for a good price. I was a bit hesitant to buy the watch from an unauthorized dealer but after some thought I became confident in buying from amazon-they do, after all, have a reputation to uphold and provide a good warranty. The watch is engraved with the swiss product number (V.25162) and the complete packaging comes with a EAN (european bar #) and ASIN. Do not expect a serial number engraved on this watch, as it has been distributed on the european market. This is a really beautiful watch, heavyset 15mm thick case and you can tell its of the highest quality (top of the line swiss army). I contacted Victorinox directly regarding this watch on amazon and here is the dialogue:
ME:
I am looking to find a chrono pro (24162) for sale...I find some on the internet priced around 900$ but the catalogue number is V25162...is that a valid item number? It is also inscribed on the caseback...this is listed on Amazon.com.
Victorinox:
Thank you for contacting Victorinox Swiss Army.
Yes that is the Swiss number it is the same timepiece.
Please contact us if you need further assistance.

ME:
I have a question regarding the professional chronopro (V.25162)...I recently purchased one from amazon.com and was wondering if there should be a serial number written on the body of this watch (somewhere on the back)? The barcode tag on the watch has a number ASIN 7611160307354 and an additional number on the box EAN B001F9T408. Any help would be appreciated.
Victorinox:
Thank you for contacting Victorinox Swiss Army. No you will probably not have a serial number as the watch you purchased came from the international market. The product numbers sold in the US begin with 24... The international numbers begin with 25... and are not serialized
Please contact us if you need further assistance.
Sincerely,
Victorinox Swiss Army Customer Service
Fantastic purchase, thank you amazon!
