The Swiss Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax Petrol F4240009 watch impresses at first glance with its typical pilot's design with a clear Fortis signature. It is decorated with perfect clarity, robustness and durability. This watch will serve you well not only in the cockpit of an aircraft, but also in everyday wear.
The Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax F4240005 has a case made of recycled stainless steel, which is complemented by a leather strap. The case is reliably powered by the Swiss-made Fortis UW-51 mechanical movement (based on the Sellita SW510) with automatic winding. It runs at a frequency of 28,800 semi-frequencies per hour and has 27 jewels. The machine also has a "hacking" function (stopping the second hand when ordered) and the possibility of manual crown winding. There is a stopwatch function with a 30-minute counter at the 3 o'clock position. At the 6 o'clock position we find a handy date display. The bi-directional GMT lunette allows the reading of the time in the second time zone.
The perfectly clear dial is protected by a sapphire crystal that is maximally scratch-resistant. The double-sided anti-reflective coating ensures excellent legibility even in direct sunlight. The SuperLuminova luminescence on the hands and indexes enables readability in darkness and low-light conditions. Under UV light, the Synchroline® function at the 12 o'clock position is visible, making it easy for pilots to synchronise the time with their colleagues within ±5 seconds. The water resistance of this model is 200m, so it can handle even greater contact with water, such as swimming or diving to about 20 metres. The water resistance is supported by a screw-down crown.

Flieger Flieger Pilot's Watches Sports Watches Swiss Watch Steel Fortis Mechanical
The Swiss brand Fortis fully fulfills the meaning of its name, which means "strong" in Latin. It is synonymous with durability, robustness and reliability. Its purely mechanical watches serve professional pilots well, can be used underwater and have even served cosmonauts in space! In the years 1994-2019, Fortis watches were the official equipment of cosmonauts of the space agency Roskosmos. However, the foundations of Fortis' journey into space were already laid in 1961, when the founder's son Rolf Vogt showed the Fortis Spacematic AR (All Risks) watch to NASA astronauts. It was not until 1994 that the Official Cosmonauts Chronograph model looked into open space as part of the preparatory work for the historic connection of the American space shuttle Atlantis with the Russian MIR station.
Fortis is currently working with the Austrian Space Forum as the official timekeeper for the AMADEE Mars Mission simulation. From 2021, the Swedish Space Corporation became the official partner of Fortis in the testing and development of a purely space watch Fortis, where the stratospheric tests of the Werk 17 movement will be of particular interest.
The Fortis brand was founded in Grenchen, Switzerland in 1912 by Mr. Walter Vogt and, in addition to the already mentioned space successes, it has also achieved many other interesting milestones. In 1926, Fortis, in collaboration with the inventor of the first automatic movement, John Harwood, recorded the world's first serial production of a self-winding mechanical watch! Fortis introduced one of the world's first waterproof watches in 1940. Since 2018, its lifelong fan Jupp Philipp has become the owner of the Fortis brand.
