Ratan Tata’s prized Swiss watch isn’t as expensive as you think
net worth of a staggering Rs 7,900 crore, and cultivating a $100 billion empire, late tycoon Rata Tata was surprisingly austere when it came to spending habits. While the national icon did live in a sprawling Rs 200-crore mansion and had a jaw-dropping collection of luxury cars such as Ferrari California T, a Jaguar F-Type, and a Maserati Quattroporte, he was often known to shun mindless extravagance in his day-to-day life.
For example, in one of his pictures, he is seen wearing a jet-black Victorinox Swiss Army Recon. While this funky sports watch is a much-sought-after item for watch enthusiasts, it is far from the luxurious, jewelry-encrusted watches you would expect a billionaire to possess.
Here’s all you need to know about this elegant timepiece.
All About The Victorinox Swiss Army Recon
While this watch appears deceptively simple and rather plebian, it is created to stand the test of time.
Driven by the dependable Swiss Ronda 515 Quartz movement, this watch features a plastic case with a press-on back. The asymmetrical design includes an extra layer of protection around the crown to prevent it from being damaged.
