Victorinox’s INOX watch collection is properly tough, but step up to the Carbon versions, and you’ve got yourself one of the most resilient and light timepieces on earth. The brand just released a limited edition that’s an homage to firefighters. Of course, the 43mm carbon composite case can take MMA fighter-like punishment thanks to its high impact and scratch resistance, and the special dial gets yellow and red highlights on the chapter ring and the second hand. It’s nicely paired with a yellow paracord bracelet that dries quickly and can be undone for survival emergencies. Victorinox even includes a secondary strap made from pebbled firefighter boot leather. Inside the timepiece is a Swiss quartz movement that’s better suited for rough handling than a mechanical automatic one. The limited edition INOX Carbon also comes with a bright yellow Rescue Tool knife, knife case, a paracord keychain, and a case bumper for extra watch protection. It all comes in a red, waterproof protective case. Only 1,200 versions of this special watch will be made.
