Price of Ratan Tata’s watch will leave you shocked, it costs Rs…

Ratan Tata was known for his simplicity, owning few items despite his wealthy lifestyle which included a luxurious Rs 200 crore mansion in Colaba, a private jet and a collection of luxury vehicles such as Ferrari California T, Jaguar F -Type and Maserati Quattroporte. Despite these luxuries, Tata preferred to distance himself from the billionaire label and avoided overt displays of wealth.

However, a notable image of the industry titan shows him wearing a simple quartz-powered Victorinox Swiss Army Recon watch. While it was common for billionaire industrialists to sport extravagant, jewel-encrusted watches made from exotic materials, Ratan Tata distinguished himself with his simplicity and disdain for excessive consumerism. He was known for his significant charitable donations and investments in innovative start-ups, embodying a rare sense of quiet restraint unlikely to be seen again.

Similar to Tata’s character, the watch represents a form of lasting resilience. It features the reliable Swiss Ronda 515 Quartz movement, housed in a pressure-back plastic case. An additional volume on one side of the asymmetric case serves as a crown guard, protecting the crown from being knocked over.

This watch is highly functional, featuring luminescent hour markers and thick printed numerals at 3, 6 and 9, designed for optimal visibility in low-light conditions.

The font takes inspiration from decals found on aircraft carriers, while the large hands increase legibility in the dark, making it ideal for campsites where natural light may be scarce. Additionally, the rubber strap comes with a plastic compass for added outdoor utility. Costing approximately Rs 10,328, it stands out as one of Victorinox’s most affordable watches, mainly worn by a billionaire industrialist.
