Fortis Adds Two New Watches to their Expanding Flieger Lineup
Hot on the heels of the release of their new F-43 Bicompax Chronograph, Fortis is back with the second release from their new Flieger collection, the F-41 and F-39. For folks who thought the F-43 was a tad on the large side, these new(er) watches might hold some appeal, coming in at more modest measurements but with similar flieger styling, sans chrono.Â
Stylistically, the F-41 and F-39 hew close to the aesthetic of the F-43, with simple gray dials accented with pops of green lume and orange accents. The Fortis ?Synchroline,? an orange ring that spans from 11:00 to 1:00, is perhaps the most unique design element on the dial, and seems like it would be useful for a pilot in orienting him or herself in the cockpit. Or perhaps it?s just there to look cool (it does, in my opinion). The ?Brixtrack? ring, another feature from the F-43, is present here as well. You?ll recall from coverage of that earlier watch, that Brixtrack is a brushed ring around the outside of the dial with individual lume plots at each minute marker. It?s designed to aid in legibility and gives the watch a tactical feel, while adding depth to the dial, which is not a quality that?s often associated with pilot?s watches.Â
My favorite thing about this release is the options that Fortis is allowing their customers. Having two watches of the same style in 39mm and 41mm cases is a really nice feature, and will ensure that these get onto the wrists of more people. The 39mm size is especially appealing,...
