And FORTIS was there – on the one hand as the first chronograph in outer space, and on the other as a loyal companion in complete darkness. We want to honour this huge achievement of those cosmonauts who set out from Star City 22 years ago with an homage to the cosmonaut watch that they used back then. That is why FORTIS has brought the key elements of the erstwhile official Cosmonauts Chronograph into the 21st century. Important characteristics such as the steel housing and the fully screwed pushers have maintained their original functionality. Moreover, elements and materials have been added to do justice to the design demands of the modern age. That is why the Classic Cosmonauts Chronograph Ceramic is getting a brushed ceramic bezel with integrated tacheometry, as well as a glass caseback that guarantees you a look inside the fascinating finely balanced mechanics of the Swiss automatic movement ETA-7750, in both the a.m. and p.m. models.
