The watch is called I.N.O.X and according to Victorinox the watch has survived above one hundred toughness tests and not just any toughness test, being run over by a 64- ton tank over a concrete kind of tests. Heavy weight is not the only thing it can survive, it has potential to survive harsh temperatures up to 51° C to +71 ° C and it was even thrown in a sandstorm for couple of hours.
The reason why the watch is so strong is due to its solid stainless steel monobloc case, bulged shoulders around the crown and sapphire crystal inset in it which prevents from head-on impacts. There is also an option of silicon bumper which can be used to make it even more protected against brutal situations. Though it is quite tough but it is also quit big in size with a 43mm case.
