Classic Cosmonauts Ceramic p.m.

Classic Cosmonauts Ceramic p.m. Reference: 401.26.11 We all imagine space as being black. And that is exactly how the depths of space are. With the sun hidden behind the earth, the cosmonaut can scarcely see his hand in front of his face. This pitch blackness is illustrated in the Classic Cosmonauts Chronograph Ceramic p.m. model by the black dial and the matte black ceramic bezel with integrated tacheometry. The material selected for the bezel is no accident, of course: it is a material that is intended to capture the incredible hardships and dangers that cosmonauts face during various space missions. Price: R61'215

Even though few of us will ever experience flying above 35,000 feet, it is exactly this durability and reliability that is required here on earth too. With this model, FORTIS has succeeded in incorporating 22 years of space travel technology into a modern design. That is why the origins of the first Official Cosmonauts watch are easy to recognise in several details. Fully screwed pushers, steel housing and tacheometry were some of the most important properties of the first model, alongside the chronograph function itself. Appended to this has been a glass caseback, nickel hands, the improved dial with raised numbers and indices, as well as the sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides which guarantees perfect readability at any angle.
