The Fortis SquareMost Fortis watches look Replica Gucci watches a lot like the Flieger, but they've recently branched out a bit and introduced the simply-named "Fortis Square". It has the ETA 2836-2 automatic movement, and looks quite a bit like the Flieger, but changes to a dressier 38mm square case and leather band. I personally prefer watches with day and date, so I like how this looks. Features include a stainless steel case, AR-coated sapphire, screw-down crown, screwed caseback, and water resistant to 100m (330 ft). The Fortis Square is an unusually legible and functional dress watch that easily doubles for rough duty.The Fortis B-42 DiverNext up is the B-42 Diver GMT, this time with a white Replica Gucci watches face for a little change of pace.
Today I'd like to introduce you to another maker of fine aviation watches that we think you'll like: Fortis. Meaning "strong" in Latin, Fortis was founded in 1912 by Walter Vogt in Switzerland, and has made a strong resurgence since 1987. Specializing in flight and space watches, Fortis is the official supplier to the Russian space program and the International Space Station. They have a strong design aesthetic of clear faces, instrument-themed hands, and high-contrast dials. Very functional, and with their ETA/Valjoux movements, quite reliable as well. I'd like to pick a few out of their lineup to go over in detail.The Fortis FliegerProbably the most iconic Fortis is their classic Flieger watch. Built around the well-known ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, it's 40mm wide (also available in a 34mm wide case) and features a screw-down crown and caseback that combine for an unusual (for an aviation watch) 200m (660ft) water resistance. The super-hard sapphire crystal is anti-reflective coated on both sides, and the hands and indices are superluminova-coated for legibility under any conditions. I've actually opened one of these and regulated it; it's well-made and quite sturdy. I was impressed, and enjoyed wearing it for a day. The orange second hand is wonderful, and I really like the uncluttered face and dramatic hour & minute hands. With a street price of around $600, it's a good price for a solid Swiss watch of high function Replica Gucci watches and durability.
