Where to buy Swiss Army Titanium Watch

March 21, 2010 - 5:54 am

My mom gave me a Swiss Army Titanium Watch for my graduation in 2001. It had a black face plate, metalic brazalet and yellow seconds hand. The thing is the watch got stolen and I don't have the heart to tell her so I'm going to do what any decent son would do and buy another one and never speak of what happened again. But I can't seem to find it. The first person to find a decent Internet Store where I can buy it for $600 or less gets the $15. If you find it under $500 you get 1/3 of the difference from the price to $500 as a tip. Thank you very much.

Howdy again! Had a chance to call a friend of mine who is a jeweler in New York ... he said that's a good price for that model, because they didn't make many (Victorinox) ... the grey face was the "in" face for that model ... and there was only a limited of the black face made. Now, they're back in demand (the black faces), and in that model, (the Odyssey) they're hard to find, and they're retailing as a rule for over $600. I haven't been able to find another with the black face, period ... I'd grab it. Good luck, Serenata

You're completely right. That's the watch. I feel stupid I looked in Yahoo! Shopping and didn't find it. However the price is $495. You got it. Just post something as an answer and the $15 plues $2 tip are yours. However take your time if you do find it cheaper anywher else you'll get a better tip. Thank you so much.

Give me a bit, I may be able to find it cheaper for you. Thank you very much. Serenata

I'll rate your answer as soon as you decide that's the cheapest you could find. Thanks. Tony

Hi again T4you ... Per your clarification, here's your answer: A search of Swiss Army titanium watches on the Swiss Army site turned up nothing close to what you described. See the Swiss Army site: http://www.swissarmy.com/ However, I did find one made by Victorinox for Swiss Army, which is titanium, including the titanium band, has a black dial and a yellow sweep second hand ... you can see the watch at the following site for Gunther gifts. The price is about right for a model that would be about two years old ($475). Gunther Gifts in New Mexico has the watch you need, and you can order it here: http://store.yahoo.com/gunther-gifts/odtit.html The distinction, by the way, is the black face and the yellow sweep hand, which makes this a rare watch, indeed. Your mom has good taste. And take my word as a mom ... you'll be glad you did this. Yours ever so, Serenata

Sadly gunther gifts doesn't have the watch in stock anymore. Could you get your Jeweler help me find one? Thanks for trying.

Thank you very much for your help. Excellent work.

Hi there ... I asked locally and couldn't find it. I also contacted Victorinox via their Website www.victorinox.com. They referred me to Swiss Army in Connecticut: 65 Trap Falls Road Shelton, CT 06484 1-800-442-2706 A call to Swiss Army in Connecticut told me the model number for the watch we are seeking is 24304, and has been discontinued, but They told me that they have sold that model to James & Williams, 1-800-988-5872. A call to James & Williams was no joy! They're sold out. Swiss Army also told me that they have sold that particular watch to Macy's West, Nortstroms Dillards, Foley's Robinson-Mays. A check with the stores here and in the Phoenix area ... no joy, they don't have that model. A check of Google for Swiss Army 24304 gave me these: Squires Watches (Canada) has it listed for $505.75 http://www.squireswatches.com/swiss-army/swiss-armypricelist.htm Kimberly & Company has it listed for $495.00 http://www.kimberleyco.com/swiss/titanium.htm I think we may be running out of places, so I hope one of those turns it up! Yours, Serenata

Hi T4you ... Congratulations on a wise decision. Speaking as a mother of two fine sons (both grown now), let me commend you on your decision. There are some things a mother shouldn't be told, and this is one of them. I don't know if you know this - but Swiss Army doesn't make all its watches. It licenses its name to superior watchmakers, such as Wenger and Victorinox to make some of the watches sold under the Swiss Army Brand. A search of Swiss Army titanium watches on the Swiss Army site turned up nothing close to what you described. See the Swiss Army site: http://www.swissarmy.com/ However, I did find one made by Victorinox for Swiss Army, which is titanium, including the titanium band, has a black dial and a yellow sweep second hand ... you can see the watch at the following site for Gunther gifts. The price is about right for a model that would be about two years old ($475). Does this look like the watch? http://store.yahoo.com/gunther-gifts/odtit.html If I'm even close, let me know, and we'll go from there. If we're not, point out the differences, and I'll keep looking. And from a mom ... thank you for being so good to your own! Serenata
