60’s Fortis silver sunburst

Another round of purging:

Up today is a nice Fortis 3-hander from the late 60’s- yes, the big Flieger Fortis. This is not one of the sad fantasy dialed nasty’s from the Far East, this is a real one.

Stainless case is 33x41 with 17mm lugs. Silver sunburst dial is lovely with bright yellow Tritium pips and matching hands. Looks to have a few very light scratches on the dial that I didn’t notice until I zoomed in on the photos (not visible with the naked eye. Factory crown and case lines are sharp and appear unpolished

Back shows standard wear but engraving is nice and clearly visible

The downward curved lugs hug the wrist, this wears nicely slim


Obligatory wrist shot


Watch winds like silk and is running and keeping time fine- service history is unknown. Asking $135 including shipping to CONUS. Outside the US we can figure out the shipping. Comes on moc-croc strap.

I have good feedback here and can provide plenty of references. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

This should get snapped up quickly.

Right you are. I woke up from a nap and it’s now on hold.

I never tried the nap trick when listing a watch for sale, think I'll give it a try on the next one
