It is decorated with perfect clarity, robustness and durability. This watch will serve you well not only in the cockpit of an aircraft, but also in everyday wear. The Swiss Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax Petrol F4240009 watch impresses at first glance with its typical pilot's design with a clear Fortis signature.
It is decorated with perfect clarity, robustness and durability. This watch will serve you well not only in the cockpit of an aircraft, but also in everyday wear. The Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax F4240005 has a case made of recycled stainless steel, which is complemented by a leather strap.
The case is reliably powered by the Swiss-made Fortis UW-51 mechanical movement (based on the Sellita SW510) with automatic winding. It runs at a frequency of 28,800 semi-frequencies per hour and has 27 jewels. The machine also has a "hacking" function (stopping the second hand when ordered) and the possibility of manual crown winding.
There is a stopwatch function with a 30-minute counter at the 3 o'clock position. The bi-directional GMT lunette allows the reading of the time in the second time zone. The perfectly clear dial is protected by a sapphire crystal that is maximally scratch-resistant.
The double-sided anti-reflective coating ensures excellent legibility even in direct sunlight. The SuperLuminova luminescence on the hands and indexes enables readability in darkness and low-light conditions. Under UV light, the Synchroline function at the 12 o'clock position is visible, making it easy for pilots to synchronise the time with their colleagues within ±5 seconds.
The water resistance of this model is 200m, so it can handle even greater contact with water, such as swimming or diving to about 20 metres. The water resistance is supported by a screw-down crown.
