Any Fortis fans here?

New to the forum and wanted to see if anyone else has a Fortis in their collection. I picked this up in Italy years back and is part of my rotation. Love the look and suits my job with the GMT movement.

I've owned five Fortis watches and always thought they were pretty cool. They've stepped up their game since last year and the rebirth of the company under new ownership. I have one of the new models that is very nice (no pics yet) and also still own the Chrono/GMT shown below, a rare bird with the blue bezel.



Cheers,

-Marc

I do like their watches and interested in the Classic Cosmonauts Chronograph. But haven't pulled the trigger yet.

From Watchbuys, which is a Fortis AD

I owned the same Fortis. I bought it for a song and wanted to swap the GMT bezel for a divers'. Fortis said no. I loved her when I had her. A great tool watch. A little too big and heavy for my dante wrists. I do like thier Ti watches. One of my grail's is the B-42 Cosmonauts Chronograph Limited Edition titanium. I've moved on from Fortis to the Damasko. Fortis is a great watch.

Owned the Lemania 5100 based Cosmonaut chrono, ( had a thing for this calibre ), and have kicked myself ever since letting it go.

Always thought that they offered a good amount of watch for the money....

I own two Lemania 5100 based Cosmonaut chronos and love them. One with a divers bezel and indexed dial and the other with a pilot's countdown bezel.

Yes, I've owned several. I particularly like that GMT model - passed on one several years ago, now kicking myself as it's discontinued...
