Fortis Watches AG is a Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 1912 in Grenchen, Switzerland. They collaborated with John Harwood to create the first automatic watch in 1926. Fortis also developed the Spacematic Automatik space watch in 1962. In 1994, they became the official supplier of the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre. Today, their B-42 chronograph is the official watch of Russian cosmonauts.
Condition: The watch is in excellent condition. Have you noticed that sublime chapter ring with its 12 tritium dots? I particularly appreciate the finish of the movement. The movement has been completely serviced, this Fortis runs perfectly.
