Victorinox Swiss Army Partners with Foundation to Launch Special Edition Watch

Victorinox Swiss Army, Inc. has partnered with the FDNY Foundation to launch a special edition watch to celebrate the FDNY’s 150th anniversary. The official launch took place Sat., Oct. 31 at the Victorinox Swiss Army Flagship store at 99 Wooster Street, the former quarters of FDNY Engine Company 13.

The ‘I.N.O.X. FDNY Special Edition’ watch was designed to pay tribute to the FDNY. Each watch features a dial imprinted with the iconic FDNY Foundation logo and a laser-engraved case back that reads “FDNY Proudly Serving Since 1865.” Victorinox Swiss Army is generously donating 10 percent of all U.S. sales proceeds of the ‘I.N.O.X. FDNY Special Edition’ watch to the FDNY Foundation to support fire safety programs.

“It is a thrill to partner with Victorinox Swiss Army once again and to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the FDNY this way,” said FDNY Foundation Executive Director Jean O’Shea. “Thanks to their continued generosity, the ‘I.N.O.X. FDNY Special Edition’ watch will now stand to forever mark this historic anniversary for the FDNY and will help us continue to support critical fire and life safety programs and keep New Yorkers safe.”

“We are excited to introduce the newest addition to the Victorinox Swiss Army I.N.O.X. collection in partnership with the FDNY Foundation as part of their 150th Anniversary celebration,” said René Stutz, President and CEO of Victorinox Swiss Army North America. “I.N.O.X. embodies the quintessential values of Victorinox’s most famous creation, the original Swiss Army Knife: authenticity, reliability, and quality, to name a few. We find this same shared code of values in our partnership with the FDNY Foundation and look forward to future collaborations, such as the ‘I.N.O.X. FDNY Special Edition’ watch, that provides our company a platform to meaningfully support and promote the tremendous service they provide the citizens of New York and around the world.”

The ‘I.N.O.X. FDNY Special Edition’ watch costs $495 and is available in the U.S. through the FDNY Fire Zone store in Rockefeller Center and at the FDNY Shop. It’s also available at all Victorinox Swiss Army Retail stores and at Swiss Army online. Additionally, it is available at select Victorinox Swiss Army retail partners such as Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Tourneau. Global availability includes all Victorinox Retail Stores in Europe.
