I have not heard much about Fortis and search did not yield much either. Anyone here care to fill me in?

I saw the Fortis B-42 diver w/GMT, white dial, black bezel and it caught my eye.

Their B42 Chrono Alarm is a piece of work...

Very cool... another economical brand thats caught my eye is Zeno... not sure on the pricing of this particular watch, but they seem to range from the 500 - 2k mark depending on movement type and complications.

This is the New Classic Retro Chrono 7750 L Vintage Chronograph Day-Date - sorry bout the picture size the site has the images intergrated I think so you cant steal them! http://www.zeno-watch.ch

You can also choose from several bracelet types

Very nice and it looks like it has some heft and size to it.

BTW, do you have the chrono alarm?

I am curious about what the alarm sounds like.

I always wonder why the manufacturers of alarm watchs, paritcularly mechanical/auto watches do not have a sound file on their webpages to let a potential purchaser know what the alarm is like.

Incurable · 13 March 2007, 01:29 PM

Unfortunately, no to both... I don't own one nor do I know what the alarm sounds like. I've been attracted to the brand for some time now. User cncmark over on the WUS forum (with whom I've had some exchanges) is quite the Fortis fanatic and guru. Maybe I'll pose the question...

Does the Fortis have an ETA movement?
