Fortis Flieger
Fortis Flieger F-39 Midnight Blue. Shipped from a UK AD via RM 08/04, 08/26 USPS MIssing Mail filed, delivered yesterday 09/05. All due to a botched shipping label. 32 total days not knowing if I would ever receive the watch and how long I’d wait for a refund. Enough of that. Happy to receive it and even ecstatic to have it on wrist. Fortis, which is under new ownership, has been turning heads with their new offerings. This particular colorway is no longer available on the Fortis site, with no lead time on further production. Ergo, I had to navigate a different route to acquire it. Fortis doesn’t have a huge following but the name is well recognized and respected. I’m stoked!

Beautiful watch. It sounds like the same difficulties I experience when having a watch shipped. I agree that Fortis is well know and respected for a brand that goes out of it's way to remain small. Best of luck now that you have your watch.

Not sure if I’d go through the trouble again but you never know!

You would for the right watch. I would too.
That is a great looking watch. Who has bought out Fortis?

The owner is now Jupp Philipp. Fortis is still an independent brand.
Great looking watch! I handled Fortis watches for the first time at the Wind Up Watch Fair this summer. They look and feel awesome!
I am also a Fortis fan and love my Fortis Spacematic GMT. However, the new Fortis watches look to massive for my small wrist (6.5“) :-(.
Congrats on a great pickup! Looks awesome.

Nice! I live in the Midwest, so I visited the Chicago one. It was a lot of fun 🙂.
