Launched in 2012 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of FORTIS, this B-42 STRATOLINER CHRONOGRAPH in Steel PVD black/ rose gold was produced in a limited edition of 100 pieces. Equipped with Swiss made ETA 7750 movement, this timepiece displays chronograph functions with tachymeter and day/date indication in addition to normal timekeeping functions.

The Bi-colour black matt/5N rose gold dial features flange with 25/100 and hour/minute indication, and the Arabic numerals, indices and hour/minute hands are embossed with Superluminova white for high legibility during poor light conditions.

The triangle at 3’o clock illustrates the direction of rotating the crown for quick adjustment.

The Chronograph counters – 30-minute counter & 12-hour counter – are in rose gold and feature black matte hands. A golden central hand looks after chronograph 60 seconds function. The small seconds counter in black shade at 9’o clock has golden Arabic numerals, indices and hand.
