Not many people know that Fortis has a long heritage of over 100 years of continued manufacturing and many accolades to its name. Walter Vogt established the company in 1912 and in 1924 partnered with John Harwood, inventor of the automatic wristwatch. They released the first self-winding wristwatch in 1926 called the Harwood Automatic. By 1937, Fortis moved into chronographs, releasing their first one for the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the company.

Fortis has built their reputation on producing tough, functional watches that are equal to standing up to punishing environments. In 1994, Fortis put its watches through such rigors of testing that pushed the boundaries of modern physics that the Russians came calling. The Russian training facility for cosmonauts located in Star City Russia chose the watch, now called the Fortis Official Cosmonauts Chronograph, as part of their official equipment. The watch was put through the paces inside the shuttle and in space, proving its muster by keeping time like the day it was born.

Because of the association with the Russian cosmonauts, the Fortis name might initially bring up the idea of a space watch, but the brand has also mastered other environments such as aviation and maritime.

The Men’s 647.28.71 L.01 Black Automatic Date from the Fortis B-42 Marinemaster Collection is a capable and good-looking dive watch. Like most tool watches, it comes in a larger 44 mm case so that the dial has more real estate and can be easily visible underwater. The black dial features a day and date at 3 o’clock Arabic numerals with the traditional triangular marker at 12 o’clock, rounded out with baton numerals at 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock.

As required by all dive watches, the hands and numerals are swathed in luminescent material. In a stainless steel case covered in PVD, the watch has a very stealthy look that will blend right in by land or over a wetsuit.

Of course, every dive watch must have a unidirectional bezel, and the Fortis 647.28.71 L.01 B-42 Marinemaster comes with one. But what make this bezel even more interesting is in addition to the 60-minute display, a 24-hour display is also included. Most dive watches don’t have an exhibition back due to water resistance issues, but Fortis managed to get around that obstacle so you can get a view of the mechanics too.

The Fortis 647.28.71 L.01 B-42 Marinemaster comes with an automatic movement with a shock absorber and is water resistant to 660 feet.

New Stripes for an Enduring Classic

One thing that gets some collectors excited is a new variation of a favorite watch. Fresh colors have the ability to revitalize a design and breathe contemporary air into a classic look. The latest version of the Fortis B-42 Marinemaster Chronograph mixes black and yellow – a popular color combination found in nature, in fashion and in design the world over, not to mention in watch collections from brands both large and small.

Like other watches in the Marinemaster collection, the B-42 Marinemaster Chronograph is built for life. It starts with a stalwart movement: the ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic, a benchmark among chronographs and veritable pillar of Swiss precision and reliability.

Click to Enlarge Image

 

The rugged three-part case is constructed of brushed stainless steel and measures 42 mm in diameter. The unidirectional turning bezel is both a visual and functional highlight: the combination of black and yellow is eye-catching, while the deep scalloped edges provide good grip for turning, especially underwater, where the watch is water resistant to a depth of 660 feet. There is more to the bezel: unlike most dive bezels, this one makes a full turn in 120 increments, meaning it is adjustable in half-minute steps. The pip positioned on the bezel at 12 o’clock is luminous and has a blue afterglow.

Functional aspects of this Marinemaster do not end there. The crown is substantial enough to grip and is personalized with the Fortis logo; the chrono pushers are firmly inset and well protected. Adding to the watch’s water resistance is a screw-down caseback, which is embossed with a historic Fortis motif. On the front, anti-reflective sapphire crystal provides a clear and scratch-resistant pane.

To a novice, the dial of the Fortis 671.24.14 K B-42 Marinemaster Chronograph watch might seem crowded, but it is actually clear and easy to read thanks to the sharp contrast between the white, yellow and black elements. The layout of the sub-dials is based on the Valjoux 7750 movement with a 30-minute totalizer at 12 o’clock, a 12-hour totalizer at 6 o’clock and running seconds at 9 o’clock. These stand out next to the yellow hour numerals. Toward the outside of the dial is the minute-and-second track as well as a tachymeter scale, which is positioned on the angled flange. The hands, hour markers and indices are all coated with Super-Luminova, which glows blue in the dark. The central chronograph seconds hand also has a luminous circle half way up the hand.

A tidy set-up on the dial at 3 o’clock includes the Fortis logo as well as the day and date. Both stand out well on white backgrounds. Changing the day or date is a breeze on this watch because the two arrowheads on either side of the day and date windows – one facing down and one facing up – indicate which direction the wearer should turn the crown to make quick adjustments. They might seem superfluous, but the arrowheads are convenient reminders and, in design terms, echo the shape of the traditional arrowhead index at 12 o’clock – which appears in deference to Fortis’s aviation style watches.

Since the B-42 Marinemaster Chronograph is a seagoing watch at heart, Fortis mounts the watch on a black rubber strap that fastens by way of a brushed steel folding clasp featuring the Fortis logo. But there are options to mix it up; namely, a black leather strap or steel bracelet.

Fortis 671.24.14 K B-42 Marinemaster Yellow Men’s Chronograph

Key features:

• ETA Valjoux 7750 Swiss automatic movement, 25 jewels, 28,800 vibrations per hour
• Chronograph, day and date functions

• Black dial, yellow Arabic numerals, luminous hands and hour markers, tachymeter

• Anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
• Rubber strap, brushed stainless steel folding clasp
• Water resistant to 660 feet
• 2-year manufacturer’s warranty

The Fortis Mens 671.24.14 K B-42 Marinemaster Chronograph watch in yellow and black is a vibrant rendering of an enduring classic.

The new Limited Edition Edox Iceshark III is no ordinary diver. This extraordinary watch was designed specifically for the most demanding type of diving on earth: free-diving, diving under the ice. Edox has partnered with world champion ice diver Christian Redl to make the Edox Iceshark III the best ice diving watch ever produced.

Christian Redl has already set two world distance records under the ice. He has gone 90m meters with fins and 150 meters aided by a scooter. Under these extreme conditions, it is no surprise that Christian has selected the Iceshark III as his underwater companion.

With convenient, left facing pushers and a clean, easily readable graphite colored carbon fiber dial, this rugged timepiece is fully functional, even when wearing a wetsuit.

With its unidirectional black ceramic rotating bezel and two high visibility subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock for timing events, the Iceshark III makes it almost effortless to determine exactly how much time you have left at virtually any depth. Even under even the most severe conditions, this watch won’t let you down.

The Iceshark III is powered by a proprietary Edox 103 quartz movement, based on the reliable Ronda 5021D. This spectacular limited edition timepiece has been fitted with a comfortable black caoutchouc strap and matching PVD coated steel buckle. You may not be a champion diver like Christian Redl, but if you love life on, and under, the water. You’ll appreciate a watch that accepts no compromise.

The 3H Italia Black Hole: Nothing can escape from its attraction.

It’s hard to ignore a Black Hole, especially if it comes from 3H Italia. This vibrant, young Italian company definitely knows how to make a big statement. With an oversize 52mm case, an all black PVD treated steel case and bezel, and bright-white indices and numbers, the 3H Italia Men’s BH04 Black Hole is one of the most dramatic diver watches on the market today.

This is a big watch that makes an even bigger statement. Maybe that’s why celebrities from Asian rapper AG Dolla to Italian soccer star Gennaro Gattuso and British freestyle skier James ‘Woodsy’ Woods have all been seen sporting a Black Hole watch on their wrist.

The recently introduced Black Hole BH04 model features an all new dial with bright white lettering, indices and hands that provide a dramatic contrast to the stealthy look of the dial’s black face and PVD bezel. The unidirectional bezel is inscribed with all black minute markers and the durable mineral glass crystal features an integrated magnifying lens over the date window at 4:30 o’clock.

This 52mm monster features a premium mechanical, automatic movement protected by a PVD treated stainless steel case that is water resistant to an impressive 495 feet. The Black Hole BH04 comes equipped with both a comfortable silicon strap for sports use, and an elegant cream-colored Italian leather strap for dressier occasions.

If you’d like to join the growing list of people from Boy George to supermodel Monika Erb who have already discovered the almost irresistible attraction of wearing a 3H Italia timepiece, talk to an authorized 3H Italia dealer today.

This chronograph features an automatic ETA 7750 movement which is the workhorse of Swiss made watch movements, as it is very reliable and durable. The stainless steel case is complemented by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, which in combination with the Arabic numerals and round indices delivers excellent readability while at he same time displaying the day and date at 3 o’clock.

The case of this chronograph measures a popular 43 mm. Most timepieces today are over 40 mm in size, and quite a few even over 45mm. I even see a lot of women sporting such large timepieces on their wrists. I remember about 10 years ago, when I saw a young lady wearing a Submariner which is 40 mm in size, and back then I thought “oh my gosh, how can she wear such a big watch!?” Well, now, she could even wear a 44mm watch and would just fit the actual fashion trend of “big is beautiful“ when it comes to watches.

This chronograph comes with a black PVD bezel while there are several other options as well, including plain steel bezel, and while this case is made of hand polished steel, you can also chose from a PVD blackened case. This chronograph may be used for diving, as it features a screw back case and is waterproof to 330 feet.

Cue the watch engineers at Edox and the new Edox Miss Geico Racing Limited Edition Chronograph.

Edox is an official team sponsor of Miss Geico Racing. The timepiece company introduced the Edox Miss Geico Racing Limited Edition Chronograph in 2011 with the ambition of capturing the spirit of the Miss Geico offshore powerboat in every respect, from precision to performance.

The Miss Geico is one of the most recognizable offshore powerboats in the water: a bright yellow, 50-foot-long, twin-turbine Mystic catamaran, 4,000 horsepower, capable of reaching speeds in excess of 210 mph. The watch also boasts an eye-catching exterior including a yellow strap, which creates an instant connection. Under the hood, the Miss Geico chrono houses an extremely efficient engine – Edox’s Calibre 103 movement, which is based on a Ronda quartz movement featuring a battery with an ultra-long lifespan of an estimated four-and-a-half years. When the crown is pulled out, a power-saving mechanism further reduces the demand on the battery by a whopping 70 percent.

Several materials are integrated into the watch’s build. The 45 mm case is made of 316L stainless steel and coated with black PVD. The caseback is engraved with a Class 1 racing propeller, a special Miss Geico Racing design and the individual watch number. The dial features black, carbon fiber with white hour indices at each hour except “12,” where a yellow double-marker appears instead. Below it is the Edox logo, the Miss Geico Racing logo and the boat’s number “113,” which is applied in the same style as it appears on the powerboat. The dive bezel is made of black ceramic and features four hourglass-shaped stainless steel rivets. The Edox hourglass logo is embossed on the yellow (it also comes in black) rubber strap, which is shaped and fitted to the lugs. Like the case, the folding clasp is made of stainless steel and coated with black PVD.

As for function, the chronograph has a central-seconds hand and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. The counter at 9 o’clock has a perpetual small-seconds hand. Both counters are outlined in yellow, as is the date window at 6 o’clock. The date ring (on which the date numbers appear) features a black background and yellow numerals that perfectly match the dial. A tachymeter circles the outside of the dial.

Excellent water resistance is expected for any watch associated with water sports and the Miss Geico chrono delivers and then some. The case is pressurized, the crystal is a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective synthetic crystal, and the crown and chronograph pushers are all screw-down ensuring supreme water resistance down to 3,000 feet.

One final trait that the Miss Geico chrono shares with its powerboat namesake is exclusivity: production is limited to just 113 pieces worldwide. Each watch is individually numbered from 001/113 to 113/113 on the engraved caseback and comes with an official certificate guaranteeing its authenticity.

Miss Geico “113”		Edox Miss Geico

 

Edox’s relationship with Class 1 offshore powerboat racing began in 2006. One year later, Edox revolutionized powerboat timing systems by utilizing both satellite and GPS technology. Today, Edox is the official and exclusive timekeeper of the UIM Class 1 World Powerboat Championship and the Edox Pole Position Championship.

This veritable merman, who pushes back the limits of the endurable, is now considered one of the foremost free-diving specialists of our time. Christian Redl holds several world free-diving records, of which the most impressive is probably his 100-meter under-ice swim — although his traversing of Mexican caves is unforgettable.

Christian’s ultimate objective is to surpass his own limits, making his dreams reality. His dives under ice show that, apart from the exploit itself, it is about reaching out for and pushing back the limits of the extreme. Christian’s next major project is planned for Austria in early 2011, when he’ll attempt to beat the world free-diving record for depth under ice. Equipped only with a 3 mm neoprene wetsuit, he’ll attempt to beat the record of 60 meters in 36 degree Fahrenheit water, a daunting challenge, even for a free-diver of his caliber.

Sharing the same philosophy of taking on extreme challenges, Edox became Christian Redl’s watchmaking partner.
