Hello 3T Fellas... I am thinking of getting a "Swiss Army Ambassador XL" like what Steve got but I would like to know first the thickness and lug size of this watch. Thanks in advance... http://www.timetechtalk.com/view_topic.php?id=6336&forum_id=2&highlight=swiss+army+ambassador |

Hi Nando... it's a 45mm wide case not including crown, with 22mm lugs. Am guessing on the thickness at around 13mm, but will check it out and let you know for sure. |

I've always admired the look of these. Really clean! Good luck on the quest, Nando! |

That's a bit wide huh! It's good to hear that the lug size is 22mm unlike my SA Chrono Pro that has 21mm lugs. Very hard to find strap replacement.

Thanks Steve. I couldn't understand why SA/Victorinox is not following the standard lug measurement. Why not make it 22mm or 24mm instead of 23mm? srh_pres wrote: Just double checked the lug width and they are... gulp.. 23mm - go figure... :shock: |

I confirm that the measure is 23 mm but I don't know why not 22. Every 45 mm models of VSA are 23 mm, Airboss, Ambassador, Alpnach. You could find pictures and specifications here: http://victorinoxswissarmy.zeblog.com/c-ambassador |

Well, you all made me go dig through one of my boxes and find the Swiss Army I have. It has a 21mm strap on it that has been narrowed at the lugs to 19mm. It is the original Swiss Army strap that came with the watch. My Wife's Wenger has a 16mm band on it. Last edited on Fri Aug 10th, 2007 03:00 am by Scuba Steve |

Which model have you in 21 mm ? An Ambassador ? Maybe you have the Day & Date 42 mm ? Ambassador XL Chrono is 23...I'm sure ! For the sickness, only a picture (not mine)  |

Oh, I don't have an Ambassador. It is an old quartz model. I don't really even know the model name.  |

Thanks Greg, I looked it all over and could not find reference to a model name or number. No serial # either. I figured it was an average off the shelf quartz model. I haven't wore it forever. It was given to me by my cousin who got me started in collecting watches. I rarely wear a quartz watch. Looks like extremely accurate to. I haven't touched this watch in 2 years. The time is still dead on accurate. |
