Better known as the creators of the first automatic wristwatch, Swiss-born Fortis are a brand of many milestones. Founded in 1912 by Walter Vogt, the luxurious portfolio of Fortis is closely entwined with historical turning points across the horological, aeronautic and astronautic industries. Attesting to these connections, the brand has had a longstanding partnership with the Russian space agency ROSCOSMOS and has collaborated with the likes of the Austrian Space Forum and the Swedish Space Corporation. With its confident, durable and innovative timepieces, Fortis has consistently pushed the boundaries of the watchmaking industry.

You don't have to be a pilot to appreciate the function and the quality of the Fortis Flieger. Each of its highly capable models is equipped with unique features such as the brand's patented Brixtrack® and Synchroline® designs. To ensure maximum durability, the adventure-ready models are crafted only from the highest quality materials.
