Hi,

I have been looking at the Victorinox Chrono Classic XLS MT and noticed that the minute hand moves "digitally". I mean that it ticks from one minute to the next instead of gradually moving between minute marks. First of all, does this type of action have a name? Besides the Breitling Aerospace are there any other watches that do this?

It's called "ticking", and you'll see this on all quartz movements.

To answer the OP's question (smirk) Apart from this watch, the Breitling Aerospace and the Bell & Ross BR03 I don't think I've seen any others.
