Quick TakeThe Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT isn't just a watch; it's a precision instrument strapped to your wrist, a testament to both robust engineering and clever design. That titanium case isn't about showing off – it's pure function, keeping the Werk 13 caliber safe and sound, ticking away with its substantial 70-hour power reserve. Three time zones? Yeah, you are ready for anything. The Superluminova X1 isn't just for show; it lets you read the dial in the dead of night, and that bidirectional bezel? Perfect for quick calculations. Everything here screams purpose, from the 200-meter water resistance, down to the fluor orange accents. It does all of this while being comfortably held by an aviator leather strap. This isn't a fashion statement, but the bold design makes its point. The F-43 is a tool, an extremely well-made and incredibly cool one.

DescriptionThe Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT, reference F4260003, is constructed around a 43mm titanium case, chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The case incorporates a screw-down crown featuring a triple gasket system, augmenting its water resistance, which is rated to 200 meters (600 feet, 20 atm). Performance FKM gaskets further enhance the watch's ability to withstand environmental pressures. The case has a height of 15.5mm, and a lug-to-lug measurement of 54mm. The watch head itself exhibits a weight characteristic of 88 grams. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on both sides, maximizing legibility under various lighting conditions. The case back is composed of titanium and features ultra-engraving details. Surrounding the dial, a bidirectional rotating bezel is marked with 12-hour graduations, incremented at half-hour intervals, to track a second-time zone.

The dial presents a vertically brushed titanium gray surface. The applied circular brushed "Brixtrack" distinguishes the hours. White "Brix" markers and GMT numerals are composed of Superluminova X1, a material selected for its enhanced luminescent properties, emitting a blue glow in low-light environments. The Synchroline detail is rendered in Berlac Fluor Orange, which provides a strong contrast. The central hour and minute hands possess a metallic finish, and are filled with Superluminova X1 for visibility. The sweep seconds hand is also finished in Berlac Fluor Orange. Powering the watch is the automatic manufacture Calibre Werk 13, a chronometer-certified movement. The Calibre Werk 13 provides a GMT complication, for indicating a second-time zone, together with a date function, and a power reserve of 70 hours. The watch comes fitted with an aviator-style strap crafted from cowhide leather. This leather strap has a double folded build and vegetable tanning. The strap is secured by a stainless steel pin buckle, and attachment to the case is handled by a screw pin system.
