2021 Fortis Flieger F-39 Automatic 39mm Black Dial

Here we have a classic 2021 Fortis Flieger F-39 Automatic Black dial; this modern interpretation of the Flieger has been part of the Fortis line for nearly 40 years since 1987. This model was created in collaboration with the Swiss Air Force. It has a 39mm brushed recycled stainless steel case that curves over your wrist thanks to the thick tapered drilled screwed lugs. The brushed flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 50mm and a case thickness of 12.5mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side, there is a screw-down signed crown with deep knurling and a triple gasket system. The coin-edge bidirectional concave bezel has engraved 12-hour numerals and holds a flat sapphire crystal AR coated on both sides above a black dial. The crystal is protected by the concave nature of the bezel. A raised minute chapter ring has applied batons and triangle made of Pilot Green Superluminova®X1 Brixtrack® surrounding white Arabic numerals and double pips marking the hours, at 3 o’clock a orange framed colour matched date window, black metallic sword hands are coated in Pilot Green Superluminova®X1 and complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand coated in Orange Synchroline®, at noon we have the Fortis motif “Flieger” printed underneath and at 6 o’clock “F-39” and in orange “Automatic” completes this dynamic aviator timepiece. On the reverse, a screw-down solid case back engraved with the details of the watch around its edge and a propeller design in the centre, inside an automatic Fortis Cal. UW-30, a Sellita SW200-based movement beating at 28,800 beats per hour, has hacking seconds for precision setting. It comes paired with its 21mm Fortis black leather strap and signed pin buckle. The watch comes with its Fortis presentation box, swing tag, screwdriver and Fortis paperwork.
