Experience with Fortis Cosmonautis?

[Any4xx]

I’m considering a Cosmonautis for my next toy. I called the US distributor this morning and the guy there told me that the B-42 “Official Cosmonautis” is larger and heavier than the “Classic Cosmonautis.” But when I search the web, including that distributor’s site, they are listed as having the same dimensions.

Soooo... Anyone here handled either/both? I don’t want to make yet another expensive mistake by buying a grandfather clock for my wrist. I gave away a Seamaster chronograph to my son in law recently because I found it too clunky for me. Both of these Fortis watches are listed at 42mm diameter and 15mm thick. Large, but not horribly so.

Any comments appreciated.

Thank you.

You meant these 2? Here are some comparison with Speedy Pro.









I found both of them to be 1-2mm too big. :D

But the Classic Cosmonauts on bracelet is easier to wear than the B42 on bracelet for my 6.5" wrist. I like both of them, but I would go with the PM classic with SS bezel and bracelet if its my money. Again, it would be perfect if its maybe 1-2mm smaller.

That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you! I’m actually leaning heavily toward the AM Classic with steel bezel and bracelet. I have 7.75” wrists, so either would probably “look” okay, but I learned an expensive lesson when I bought my last grandfather clock equivalent. I believe Classic, it is.
