I bought the Fortis Flieger from Fortis-sa and I am over the moon! Best timepiece I have ever bought. Professional service and great knowledge of their products! That's probably why I want to buy another..."

Hi Ederick, just a short note on the service and refurbishment of my Fortis B-42 Cosmonauts Chronograph. I bought the watch approximately 10 years ago in Frankfurt. I had great service from the watch, but after 10 years it was time for a service. I am a perfectionist and was extremely anxious that I needed to part with my watch. I visited the workshop to see where my watch was going to be serviced. I was extremely surprised! My watch was serviced and totally refurbished, new hands, re- polished, brand new! I was so impressed that I went out and treated myself to a new Fortis Marinemaster Classic. I can recommend Fortis-sa's after sales service with extreme confidence!

I have owned my B-42 Cosmonauts Titanium purchased from Fortis-sa for more than 2 years, it has lost none of its lustre and works as faultlessly as the day I bought it! Service and backup is a phonecall away. Still feels like an occasion when I put it on my wrist. What a well made watch!
