The Fortis B-42 Flieger is legendary among aviators. This classic military style watch has everything that professional pilots need. Available in a practical three-hand or a sophisticated chronograph configuration, these superbly crafted timing tools feature large, easily readable dials, clearly marked lettering, and in the case of the chronograph models, the additional tools you need to accurately measure everything from airspeed to the length of a trip leg.
The classic 42 mm Flieger Automatic design features a large easy-to-read dial with contrasting lettering for easy visibility under adverse lighting conditions. The watch is housed in a rugged PVD coated or brushed stainless steel case that is water resistant to 660 feet and is protected by an anti-reflective, scratch resistant sapphire crystal.

A dependable, Swiss-made ETA 2386-2 mechanical movement typically powers three-hand models, while the chronographs utilize the venerable ETA Valjoux 7750 movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Each of these professional timing tools has been engineered to provide a lifetime of reliable service. Chronograph models include 30-minute and 12-hour sub-dials for timing events, as well as a small seconds display at 6 o’clock. The versatile chronograph dial has a big date window at 3 o’clock and a tachymeter scale inscribed around the chapter ring. Most three-hand models also include a convenient big date display.
