Fortis Aeromaster Chronograph on Bracelet Ref 656.10.141 18658

While Fortis is a known name to horological enthusiasts and watch collectors, its name might now be as familiar to all. Fortis is one of the few watchmakers in the world that remains independent to this day, with its rich history in Swiss watchmaking. Fortis was founded in 1912 by Walter Vogt. In 1926, Fortis, in collaboration with watch inventor John Harwood, created the first automatic watch to be put into production, thus setting the stage for the likes of many major brands we see on the market today, such as Rolex, Omega, and more. Later, in 1940, Fortis pioneered the way for one of the first water-resistant watches ever built.

The Aeromaster Chronograph features a 42mm brushed stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and an exhibition case back. The matte black dial features raised luminescent indexes, three sub-dials at the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock positions, a day and date window at the 3 o’clock position, and lumed sword-style hands. Powered by a Valjoux 7750 automatic movement, the Aeromaster Chronograph has a 48-hour power reserve and a water resistance rating of 200 meters.

This Fortis Aeromaster Chronograph comes on the original stainless steel Fortis bracelet, and includes the instruction manual, the international warranty card, and the hangtag.
