The Victorinox Journey 1884
is more than just a watch - it represents the start of a new adventure
for Victorinox watches. Inspired by the Swiss mountains, it is a reliable and stylish companion for
all outdoor activities. The watch pays tribute to its inspiration, with a hand design echoing hiking
signs and a dial with the rough texture of a well beaten path.
The Victorinox Journey 1884
is the
perfect timepiece for anything outdoors. Let this journey begin!
