The Fortis B-42 GMT Ref 650.10.148 is a rugged and highly functional Swiss tool watch that blends Fortis’ aviation-inspired design language with practical travel-ready capability. Housed in a robust 42mm stainless steel case, the watch features a highly legible white dial, luminous hands and markers, a rotating 24-hour bezel, and an independently adjustable GMT hand for tracking a second time zone. Powered by the reliable ETA 2893-2 automatic movement and protected by a sapphire crystal, the B-42 GMT offers impressive durability with 200 meters of water resistance, making it equally suited for everyday wear, travel, and professional use. Like many Fortis models, it carries the brand’s strong association with aviation and space exploration, giving the watch a purposeful, distinctly utilitarian character.

  • The History:

While Fortis is a known name to horological enthusiasts and watch collectors, their name might now be as familiar to all. Fortis is one of the few watchmakers in the world that remains, to this day, independent despite 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 Watch:

The Fortis B-42 GMT Ref 650.10.148 features a 42mm stainless steel case with an exhibition case back and a bidirectional rotating bezel with a 24-hour scale. The white dial features lumed hour markers, applied blue Arabic numerals, blue hour, minute, seconds, and GMT hand, and a date window at the 3 o'clock position. An ETA 2893-2 movement powers the B-42 GMT.

  • The Details:

This Fortis B-42 GMT includes the original outer and inner boxes, the leather certificate holder, the guarantee booklet, the instruction manual, and the original black leather strap with a stainless steel Fortis buckle.
