That catalog lists three references—24785.1, 241188.1 and 24783.1—and describes them with a self-winding Valjoux 7753 movement and a 45 mm case. Because the catalog covers multiple variants and is historical, use the reference number and the watch itself to confirm the details of any specific example.
AirBoss Mach 6 specifications
The figures below come from the Victorinox Swiss Army 2008–2009 catalog, which documents Mach 6 variants rather than establishing that every watch sold under the name has identical specifications. Check the reference and physical configuration before treating them as a match.

Which AirBoss Mach 6 reference is it?
The catalog lists three reference numbers, so “Mach 6” alone does not uniquely identify a configuration. Its illustrations show differences in dial and strap appearance. A seller’s title or description is not enough to establish an exact match: compare the stated reference with the caseback, dial layout and strap or bracelet shown in clear photographs.
#1 Best Overall
- Swiss made automatic-movement ETA 2824-2 visible through the exhibition case back
- With a 38-hour power reserve and Super-LumiNova technology for effortless readability in the dark
- Offers military time
- Water Resistant up to 100 M/330 FT/ 10 ATM
- Swiss made watch
The catalog is historical evidence, not confirmation of current production or stock. It does not establish current pricing, the authenticity of a particular listing, or whether a specific watch has retained its original parts.
How to use the chronograph
Victorinox’s general chronograph instructions identify pusher A as start/stop and pusher B as reset for the covered configurations. Follow the instructions for the exact watch and movement rather than assuming every function described for another calibre applies to the Mach 6.
Rank #2
- From Victorinox, the Air Pro Automatic is a flight-ready timepiece built for precision and endurance
- Its three-dimensional dial allows tracking of up to three time zones, with the second time zone indicated via a dedicated GMT hand
- Navigate your day with confidence through superior timekeeping, Swiss design and flight-ready features
- Press pusher A to start timing.
- Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph.
- After the chronograph has stopped, press pusher B to reset it.
The instructions discuss split timing for applicable quartz chronographs but state that split timing is not available for mechanical chronographs in the general section. Do not assume the Mach 6 has the quartz chronograph’s split-time function. The instructions cover multiple calibres and are available in a copy hosted by Notice-Facile.
What to check before buying a pre-owned example
Use the catalog as a comparison reference, not as proof of authenticity or condition. Before purchase, request clear images and compare the watch against the details for its claimed reference.

- Check that the reference number on the caseback matches the seller’s description and one of the cataloged Mach 6 references.
- Compare the dial layout, three counters, tachymeter, caseback and strap or bracelet with the claimed variant.
- Ask whether the movement is identified as a self-winding Valjoux 7753 and request documentation or a watchmaker’s assessment if the movement claim matters to you.
- Request available service history and ask what work has been performed.
- For a watch expected to be used near water, seek an appropriate water-resistance assessment; the catalog’s rating does not establish the present condition of a decades-old watch.
Care, service and water resistance
Victorinox’s general chronograph instructions say to return the crown securely after use to maintain water resistance. Water resistance can depend on the condition of an individual watch, so the catalog rating should not be treated as a current test result for a second-hand example.
The manual’s battery-replacement guidance applies in its quartz-watch context. The cataloged Mach 6 variants are mechanical, so battery replacement is not routine maintenance for them. Victorinox’s current watch instruction and service page provides resources for other watch families, including AirBoss Mach 9; the surfaced page does not show a Mach 6 entry. Verify that any manual or service advice applies to your reference and location.
Rank #4
- Functional simplicity; epitomized in a timepiece
- Make Swiss Army Quartz your go-everywhere ally for outdoor adventures
- The Ronda 517 Quartz Day-Date movement sets a meticulous standard for calendar organization and timepiece accuracy
How the Mach 6 fits into the AirBoss collection
Victorinox’s 2021 catalog describes AirBoss as a collection of mechanical timepieces inspired by aeronautics and notes that some models include circular slide rules. That is collection-level context, not evidence that the Mach 6 has a circular slide rule. The Mach 6-specific 2008–2009 catalog instead lists a tachymeter scale.
