WHAT WE LOVE:

Certainly one of the most underrated and historic Swiss brands out there, Fortis was the very first watchmaker to use the automatic winding system and were the early pioneers of water-resistant wristwatches with the 1940 'Fortissimo'.

The B-42 Cosmonauts Chronograph, released in 1994, is a hallmark of the Fortis brand. This watch was made in collaboration with the Russian Federal Space Agency and was the official watch for the cosmonauts onboard the International Space Station. This reinforced Fortis's reputation as a brand capable of producing watches capable of functioning under extreme conditions.
