Fortis B42 Cosmonaut Alarm watch was single Fortis watch that I kept after impulsively buying 3 on my way to the subway station one late morning. The watches were typically discounted heavily but I wanted this iteration from literature that I read at the time.
My late father’s seiko Bellmatic - the restoration cost more than the watch is worth - but it’s priceless to me.
Perhaps the restoration cost you more than it would sell for, but that's not more than what its worth. Beautiful and it honors your late father. Bravo!!

I always loved this watch! What an absolutely awesome piece!
It’s sort of the lost complication. I think Tudor makes one that’s pretty cool. But there are many dozens of brands that made them at one time
I agree. Maybe this is one that more brands will revive. I like how easy it is to set and the JLC memovox is fairly quiet and discreet. I'd like it to be more vibration and quieter to avoid disturbing others. I'll do some research on these, nice topic.

Has alarm on the dial, but no idea how it works! 🤣
Something definitely on my radar to get however, very nice piece 👍🏾
This is a very cool vintage watch. How much did you pay for it?
Do Gshock watches count? 🤣

That’s so cool! Had no clue, Seiko made a Titanium Alarm watch!

I paid under $200 which, I think, was a steel!

Neither did I. Got this as a present from my wife years ago (mid 00s).
Here are mine.
Future aspirations are:
Omega Memomatic
JLC Master Control Memovox
Vulcain Cricket
I have a JLC Memovox and a Seiko Bellmatic, both were handed down to me.
I lucked out with a 1960 Vulcain in almost mint condition and the alarm still works!

I definitely want to add an alarm watch. Memovox or the omega one maybe. Didn't know there were so many different models!

I second that
I like an alarm, so rare (relatively) on an analogue watch.
Fantastic!
Awesome wife !
Thank you! She is! 😁

Thank you, again very lucky.
I love the Benrus and your Bellmatic! Awesome watches. You have the same future aspirations as me!
Thanks. Hopefully, we'll both add those pieces to our collections.
Beautiful!
That JLC is stunning!
Thanks. Hopefully, we'll both add those pieces to our collections.
Hope so too!
