1950s Fortis oversized chronograph

Fortis is famous for some semi-recent chronographs, such as the Marinemaster, but has a quite long and interesting history with some very qualitative chronographs. The best example is this stunning oversized 3-registers chrono from the 50s. Its clean design and large size make it very modern, while its construction and Venus 178 movement, just like vintage Breitling Navitimers, make it a top quality watch.

Featuring a superb off-white dial with radium numerals, a blued handset, also keeping its original radium, and pump pushers, no wonder why this stunner provokes so many reactions since we released it on social networks.
