        Fortis Men's 597.20.71 M 'Flieger' Chrono Automatic Day Date Watch  The FLIEGER CHRONOGRAPH AUTOMATIC had already premiered by the end of the 80's and marked the resurgence of pilot watches. As the winner of the "1st European Aviation Watch Award", this FORTIS chronograph with its 40 mm case diameter and automatic winding mechanism belongs to the qualified equipment of international flight squadrons. The remarkable design guarantees unmistakable recognition of this model and brought it international honors, for example the "Long Life Design Award" for sustainability. The trade press constitutes the FORTIS FLIEGER CHRONOGRAPH as the "Standard for pilot watches". The internal values are based on the proven Swiss Valjoux chronograph movement with fine timing device and Incabloc shock absorber.

        Few watch companies are able to claim a full century of uninterrupted progress and innovation. Even fewer companies can say their watches are offered as standard equipment to astronauts. There’s only one company that can lay claim to inventing the first self-winding mechanical watch, and that company is Fortis Swiss Watches.Fortis Watches celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012, however, reflecting for too long on a century-gone-by might be unjust to a company so focused on the century at hand. Fortis, after all, recently surpassed 100,000 orbits of the earth taking part in manned space missions that began in 1994. This incredible fact is an exclamation point on how a small Swiss company from Grenchen went from local watchmaker to official supplier of interplanetary travelers.
