Quick TakeThe Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT is more than a tool; it’s a statement of capability. The titanium case whispers of adventures yet to come, while the 70-hour power reserve from the Manufacture Calibre Werk 13 speaks of endurance. That bold orange Synchroline® and second hand pop off the dial, an audacious counterpoint to the serious, brushed black Brixtrack® underneath. This isn’t a watch for wallflowers; it’s built for those who chase horizons. The Superluminova®X1 ensures you’ll never miss a beat, day or night. Tracking three timezones, this watch is made for individuals constantly in flight, jumping between countries like they're hopping cross-town. The impressive 20 ATM water resistance and its vegetable-tanned leather strap are extra added bonuses. It’s more than a spec sheet; it's a feeling of relentless precision. It's about embracing the spirit of flight.

DescriptionThe Fortis Flieger F-4260001 is encased in a 43mm titanium structure, achieving a balance between robustness and lightweight wearability, culminating in an 88-gram watch head weight. The overall height of the case measures 15.5mm, while the lug-to-lug distance spans 54mm. The watch is engineered for substantial water resistance, rated at 200 meters (600 feet, 20 atmospheres), ensuring performance under demanding conditions. The screw-down crown benefits from a triple gasket system, further reinforced by high-performance FKM gaskets, enhancing the watch's resistance to environmental ingress. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on both sides, which maximizes legibility under varied lighting. The case back is fabricated from titanium and features ultra-engraving, adding a distinctive aesthetic element without compromising structural integrity. A bidirectional 12-hour bezel, featuring 30-minute increment markings, facilitates the tracking of a second time zone.

The dial presents a vertically brushed black surface. This is further accented by an applied, circular brushed Brixtrack®. The indices and GMT numerals are composed of Superluminova®X1, providing a blue-hued luminescence in low-light conditions. The Synchroline® detail is rendered in Berlac Fluor Orange, creating visual contrast. The hour and minute hands are metallic, also treated with Superluminova®X1. The sweep second hand is finished in a matching Berlac Fluor Orange. Powering the F-43 is the automatic manufacture Calibre Werk 13, a certified chronometer movement. This calibre offers a GMT complication and a date function. Its design prioritizes longevity, delivering a 70-hour power reserve. The supplied aviator strap, made in Germany, makes use of vegetable-tanned cowhide leather. It’s crafted utilizing a double-folded construction, absent of surplus filling material. The strap secures to the case via a screw pin system and is coupled with a stainless steel pin buckle.
