The Swiss Fortis Vagabond V-40 Blue Dusk COSC F6660002 watch stands out at first glance with its sophisticated design, intended not only for modern-day adventurers travelling around the planet. It is characterised by excellent legibility, robustness and durability. Thanks to its GMT function, this watch is well suited to travel and will not disappoint in any situation. Its versatile design and durability make it suitable for both a business meeting in a suit and a subsequent swim in the pool.
The Fortis Vagabond V-40 Blue Dusk COSC F6660002 has a case and bracelet made of Grade 5 Titanium, which is more resistant to scratches. A sliding mechanism on the clasp allows fine adjustment of the bracelet length without tools. Inside the case is the Swiss mechanical Fortis WERK 13 manufacture movement (made for Fortis by Kenissi) with automatic winding. It runs at a frequency of 28800 vibrations per hour, has 28 jewels and, above all, an extended 70-hour power reserve. The movement also has a "hacking" function, which stops the seconds hand when setting the time, and can be wound manually using the crown. Travellers in particular will appreciate the GMT function, which displays a second time zone using a fourth hand. It is also a True GMT, where the GMT hand moves when the time is set, while the main hour hand can be adjusted in one-hour increments, leaving the home time indicated by the GMT hand unchanged. A distinctive feature is the GMT disc on the dial, made of 18-carat white gold. In addition to displaying the home time zone, it symbolises durability, luxury and, above all, the preciousness of home. A practical date display is located at 6 o'clock.
The movement has COSC certification. It can therefore bear the designation "Chronometer" and meets the strictest requirements for timekeeping accuracy. Also noteworthy is the special balance bridge with two-point fixation, which makes the watch more resistant to shocks and minimises the risk of damage to the movement during intense activity. The operation of this movement can be observed through the transparent smoked case back.
The highly legible dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches. An anti-reflective coating on both sides ensures excellent legibility even in direct sunlight. SuperLuminova luminescence on the hands and indices provides legibility in the dark and in poor lighting conditions. The GMT hand is also highlighted under UV light. This model has a water resistance of 200 m, making it suitable for greater contact with water, such as swimming or diving to approximately 20 metres. Water resistance is supported by a screw-down crown with a triple-gasket system (FKM Triple-Gasket System).

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.
