Victorinox Alliance Mechanical Review
It's pretty rare that a household name brand surprises you with a product, but in the case of the watch we're looking at today, that's exactly what happened. Victorinox, known of course for their Swiss Army knives as well as their watches, brings to mind a certain design vocabulary. One that speaks most clearly to a military aesthetic, particularly infantry field watches. Though they have made models that diverge, they tend to be in the way of modern sport aesthetics. So, when a clearly vintage inspired design showed up on their site, a watch that I don't even recall seeing in Basel, I was surprised and intrigued.The Alliance Mechanical has design elements that speak directly to watches from the early 50's and late 40's. Elements that, to my knowledge, hadn't been used by Victorinox in other watches. The Alliance Mechanical stands out for being a bit lighter, perhaps dressier, than their other watches, but at the same time having details of their modern and military designs. Powered by

Question about service
I have a speed master date that one of the subdials will not reset to zero. The watch is probably due for service anyway, and I'm probably going to send it to Omega. My question is, I have a non Omega strap on it. Is sending the watch in with a non omega strap as big a deal as doing the same with Rolex? In other words, will they confiscate and keep my strap or is it not as much an issue with them? Pic below for fun.

Any one have a 5711 beside a 3800 1a?
Thanks
