Maverick Sport has a very strong and sporty character, bui t on subtle contrasts. In 2014,the collection is enriched with eight new mod els: four three-handed watches and four chro nographs, all with original detailing on their dials. The three colors, red, blue and yellow, are a no d to the flag of the town of Ibach, where Victorinox is headquartered. The same signature is on the co mplementa ry strap in NATO fabric that supplements the original black one. All are powered by Swiss-M ade Ronda quartz movements.
Maverick Sport is built for action. The design is very distinctive: whether the classic three e-handed watches or the chronograph, it immediately asserts its sporty character through an aesthetically pleas ing play of contrasts. The polished and brushed 43 mm stainless steel case with polished angles, common to both models, is demonstratively robust, a quality further enhanced by the graphic crown guard. The dial in silver or black and surrounded by a black unidirectional rotating bezel, with oversized hour numbers for easier reading is equally uncompromising.
Every detail on the dial bears the signature of the house: the flange displays military time, and the blue hour hand is generously covered with luminescent material, as is the minute hand. Eye- catching red adorns the second hand, the Victorinox shield at 12 o’clock, and the hands on the two chronograph counters. The date window — at 3 o’clock on the watch version and 6 o ‘clock on the chronograph — is highlighted with a thin yellow line.
Red, blue and ye llow are the three color s on the flag of the municipality of Ibbach, the to wn where the company wa s founded in 1884 and where Victorinox is still eadquarter ed today. Th e tricolor signature is repeated the NATO fabric strap; though, of course, both watch and chronograph models are also available with a metal bracelet in brushed steel.
Inside beat Swiss -Made quartz movements: Ronda 715 for the watch, Ronda 5030D for the chron ograph.
