Sponsored Post: why men really should wear a watch

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Victorinox Swiss Army. All opinions are 100% mine.

It’s more than just a status symbol: a beautifully designed watch can add a great deal to a man’s outfit, especially since men don’t accessorize the way women do.

My husband has always worn a watch, for various different reasons. Mostly he got into the habit when he was flying for the Navy, and I can’t think of a time that he doesn’t have one on, unless he’s out racing his motocross bike on the weekends. He has a variety of them, and considers them as important to his outfit as I consider the right pair of shoes.

I found this gorgeous Victorinox Swiss Army Airboss Mach 3 Chrono that I would love to give him as a gift. Not only does it reference his aviation days with it’s retro ’40s leather strap (think old school bomber jackets), but the large numbers on the face would be welcome by any pilot. The sapphire crystal is treated with a special anti-reflective formula, and the face is encased in stainless steel. Features luminous hands, numerals, and hour markers as well as a bi-directional rotating inner bezel with a countdown scale. It is, of course, handmade in Switzerland with Swiss analog quartz movement.

There are so many more other watches – visit Victorinox Swiss Army to see them all – that I could choose, but this one is definitely my favorite.

Be sure to visit the  Victorinox Swiss Army Facebook page and participate in the I Wear a Watch Sweepstakes for your chance to win one of these gorgeous watches for yourself. They are giving away 30 watches in 30 days, and you can find out more at the  Facebook IWAW sweepstakes page. Good luck!
