oncept One debuts Victorinox’s first solar watch – a smart and sustainable solution. Powered by a Swiss Made Ronda 215 solar movement, the watch is built for longevity with an eight-year battery life, eliminating the need for battery replacement for at least eight years. Harnessing both sunlight and indoor light, the solar cell ensures continuous operation in varied environments, enabling the movement to make the most of the day and the sun’s energy.

A quick-start function ensures that one minute of sunlight is enough to restart a fully discharged movement, and the power reserve maintains operation for up to eight months in total darkness. Advanced technology provides over-charge protection, preserving durability and performance. 

The collection also introduces a Swiss Made automatic La Joux-Perret G100 movement with a 68-hour power reserve – enough to leave the watch unwound over a weekend without needing to reset it on Monday. Designed for a fluid, contemporary lifestyle, this calibre ensures enduring precision and reliability, supporting the idea of using time wisely across both everyday and exceptional moments. 

The solar models feature a plain curved dial, while the automatic versions offer a vertically brushed dial for a more technical aesthetic. The sunray-satin bezel, with a polished inner part and an inner sloped hexagonal shape, includes anti-scratch protection and complements the refined geometry of the case.

Price range: CHF 795-1,445
