Fortis Marinemaster M44, my new diver.

My new watch, very impressed. Fortis is not a popular brand but the new Jupp watches are very well build and finished. I liked the M44 since it was launched but was hesitating because...well , I don't really know why.

This watch is really top. It deserves much more exposure.

Operating the crown is like opening a safe. Everything feels high end. The strap is just like butter on the wrist. The clasp is well built . Operating the bezel is a (solid) pleasure and that extra button is playful and well thought out at the same time.

Short , I love it.

Fortis is up there with one of the most underrated watches in the world imo.

That is a beauty.

I love watches very much.

I think I started when I was 12 with digital Seiko watches that gave me immense pleasure. Sometimes I felt like the Gemini Man. (2nd series with Ben Murphy)

And of course it's nice that you can impress your friends with a special watch that turns red displaying the needed info pushing a button.

As an adult, it's not much different. I've had prestige watches from many top brands.

And now I've bought a Fortis, as insignificant as a drop of water, in my collection. Actually invisible.

But I enjoy it. I don't have to share them with friends at all, I just wear it.

It feels so so good and I feel I discovered "something" that no one knows. A piece of incomparable quality.

Where are the new colors Mr. Jupp?
You already got me with the orange. However, other colors are welcome. I want more. Mint green please.
