Men's watch Fortis B-42 Stratoliner Chronograph

The Swiss company Fortis is known as a manufacturer of professional watches for representatives of the most courageous professions - pilots and astronauts. But this does not mean that Fortis watches are not suitable for mere mortals / Quite the opposite! They are ideal for a comfortable life on earth.

The B-42 Stratoliner Chronograph is casual, sport and a bit of space!

The diameter of the steel case is 42 mm. Possessing a pronounced sporty character, the watch will perfectly fit into everyday life: the bezel is rather narrow, the chronograph control buttons are small. Is that the massive crown reminds that the watch is addressed primarily to athletes, and then to fashionistas. Although, how to look ...

The style of the dial develops the theme of the classic combination of black and white. Chronograph counters act as bright accents against the light background: 30-minute - at 12 o'clock and 12 o'clock - at 6 o'clock. Four numbers are marked symmetrically to each other: 10 and 2, 8 and 4. The second hand is placed on a separate counter at 9 o'clock. There you can also see a small window that displays the day of the week. The dial is protected by a double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

Pay attention to the small triangle by the date window (at the 3 o'clock position). It indicates the direction in which the crown should be turned to correct the date and day of the week.

The tachymeter scale is located on the bezel. The white color of the indexes and numbers is clearly visible on the black bezel, which looks not only stylish, but also extremely practical for reading readings. Luminescent hands and markers (Superluminova).

The rubber bracelet is equipped with a folding clasp. The good thing about this design is that you only need to adjust the strap length once.

It's no secret that rubber is poorly breathable and, as a result, the strap fits snugly on the wrist. Please note that the inner surface of the strap of this model is textured, so that the hand will "breathe".

High water resistance up to 200 meters allows you to enjoy almost any kind of water sports without taking off your watch.

The screwed case back is engraved with the individual model number.

Through the transparent central sector, one can see, without exaggeration, a self-winding star movement - the best Swiss caliber Valjoux 7750 with 25 jewels.

The watch is equipped with an Incabloc shockproof system. The Incabloc movement is renowned for its precision and features a patented, movable, springy, lyre-shaped caliper. Such a bracket, fixed at only one end, provides the entire mechanism with the maximum amplitudes of deviations from a quiet position that are currently allowed. This means that the loss of accuracy, as well as the force of influence on the watch mechanism is minimal.

Stylist's advice: “The contrasting combination (black and white) looks advantageous in itself and attracts attention with its severity and restraint. That is why it is not worth adding additional accents to the image. Jeans and a white T-shirt - for a summer walk, a black loose-fitting shirt and breeches - for a vacation on the Cote d'Azur.
