Quick TakeThe Fortis Flieger F-39 Original isn't merely a watch; it's a declaration. The purposeful 39mm recycled steel case whispers a heritage of aviation, while the stark contrast of Superluminova®X1 against the matte black dial screams unwavering focus. The 12-hour bezel, a subtle nod to global travel, hints at adventures beyond the horizon, a quiet invitation to push boundaries. Feel the reassuring presence of the FKM performance gaskets and a water resistence that reaches depths other watches wouldn't dare. Feel the precision of the UW-30 automatic movement and the vegetable-tanned cowhide leather strap, molded with sustainability and German Craftsmanship. The F-39 is a symphony of engineering prowess and subtle rebellion, ready to tackle time head on. The bright orange sweep-second hand dances with vibrant energy, highlighting the constant evolution of every moment. A bold tool.

DescriptionThe Fortis Flieger F-39 Original, identified by reference number F4220006, embodies a purpose-built design focused on functionality and durability. Its case, constructed from recycled stainless steel, measures 39mm in diameter and has a lug-to-lug measurement of 50mm, contributing to a balanced presence on the wrist. The watch features a height of 12.5mm. A bidirectional 12-hour bezel, marked with 1/2-hour increments, offers the capability to track a second time zone. The case back is fabricated from stainless steel and is distinguished by ultra-engraving. Essential to its robust construction is a screw-down crown, implemented with a triple gasket system, enhancing its water resistance. This meticulous design detail contributes to the watch's impressive water resistance rating of 200 meters (600 feet, 20 atm). Internal performance FKM gaskets further reinforce its resilience against environmental factors.

Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on both sides, ensuring optimal legibility under various lighting conditions. The dial itself features a matte black finish, with an applied circular brushed Brixtrack®. The Brix are composed of Superluminova®X1, chosen for its powerful green glow in low-light situations, enhancing the watch's pilot-centric functionality. The hour and minute hands showcase a black metallic finish, with a Pilot Green Superluminova®X1 fill, ensuring consistent legibility. A Berlac Fluor Orange sweep second hand provides a vivid contrast, while the use of this colour aligns the dial's visual indicators. Powering the F-39 is the automatic performance calibre UW-30, providing a date complication and has a standard power reserve of 38 hours. Regulation to chronometer levels is a core performance feature. The timepiece, excluding the strap, has a weight of 79 grams. The watch features an Aviator Strap that's made from Cowhide Leather Strap. Vegetable tanned. Double folded. Without unnecessary filling material. From sustainable production and handmade in Germany. The watch is equiped with a stainless steel pin buckle and screw pin system.
