Fortis Andora Mir 97 chronograph. Limited edition of 350, one of the shortest limited editions by Fortis, with the increasingly collectible Lemania 5100 movement. Supplied on a simple fabric strap but also comes with a genuine Fortis Cosmonaut bracelet although the watch would have been sold strap only. Both endlinks are included even though only one is shown in the photo. I've collected a few Fortis Chronos over the years and I'd rate this as in excellent condition for a 20yr old watch, looking barely worn to my eyes. My timegrapher says it's running strongly with varying results between within 4 and 15 secs per day with an amplitude of around 250+, all of which is good and signifies a solid movement. All Chrono functions work as expected and chrono hands snap back to 12 when reset. Winds ok although you can occasionally feel what feels like an occasional slight slip when winding but this is intermittent with the watch hand winding efficiently and the power reserve is very good. I've no service history and don't think it's been serviced in recent years however I have only worn it a few times so given the timegrapher results I've never seen the need to service it. Any decent independent could do it though if you felt the need.
Will come with an additional blue leather strap and packaged in a study but non-original watch box.
Any questions just ask as I'm happy to send any additional pictures/video you need if you provide an email address.
There's one other on here for nearly £3k which is silly money but this is a rare watch with an increasingly collectible and well respected movement which will only increase (or rocket!) in value. Additional details:
Mechanical with automatic winding.Dial, case and movement signed. Diameter 38 mm.This model is part of the official equipment used by the cosmonauts of the Yu. A. Gagarin Cosmonauts Training Centre in their professional activity, and was worn by Dr. Ulf Merbold for the duration of the European-Russian "Euromir 94" space mission.
