Is there a difference between Wenger and Swiss Army? It seems that sellers use the two interchangeably.

Wenger and Swiss Army are two different companies.  Swiss Army brand watches and knives are made by Victorinox.  Both make "Swiss Army" knives and watches, but only Victorinox can use the Swiss Army brand directly on their products.  They also have different logos:

Wenger:


Victorinox Swiss Army:
 

When it comes to watches, any watch that says "Swiss Army" on the dial is made by Victorinox, while watches made by Wenger usually say "Wenger."

Here are thier websites:

The 2 companies merged in a buyout when Victornox Bought Wanger last year, so there is no longer any diff. they are the same company under one management with 2 brands.

:shock: I wasn't aware of that!  My research is from when I bought my Air Boss Mach 4.  Thanks!
