Hi all,

I'm working on an article for my blog around Ducati's history in watches, and am building out the section on Fortis. I can't seem to locate concrete information on the release dates of the three Fortis Flieger-Ducati collab watches. Does anyone know the following:

1) When they came out?
2) When the partnership ended?

On the latter – it seems like it was long running. I know of at least one Fortis-Ducati watch as far back as 1998.

I have the chance to purchase a secondhand Fortis Square Automatic .

Not much to find on this watch in the history of this forum (aside from many ads, as usual) so, I am asking in the hope that maybe some more members than in the past could elaborate.

I suppose this watch has never made too many fans in the past and for the most part you see either the chronograph or the model especially made for Swissair ( very nice choice of colours ).

Apparently…

Fortis Square Automatic opinions, direct experiences?

Hi all,

I'm looking for some ideas on a bracelet for a Flieger F-39 (see below). The Fortis bracelet is a bit expensive at close to $500.

While I do have a fantasy that someone will come forward with a fitted end-link that works perfectly with the F-39, I'd also be happy to hear about positive experiences with aftermarket bracelets using straight endlinks. In particular, I'd like something on the chunkier side to match the brawn of the watchhead. Perhaps an engineer style, or something…

F-39 bracelet options

Hi everyone

Just have question, is the watch seem to you be real ? Not Fake? Have no chance to find out.

thanks for reply

As the Mars 500 straps are nowhere to be found got a strap maker to do my straps.
What do you think?
I personally love it!

Thought I'd start a fresh thread to give the forum a little boost. Post your best shot of your chrono.

Everybody enjoys fortis so let everybody show off their own. To start here is mine

Well, sort of, but not with that title. I'm a recent convert, having just aquired this B42 Fleiger Chrono. I am very impressed with the quality.

On its bracelet:

So let's see them…..
