"Fortis has long been synonymous with tool watches that go where others fear to tread - including space. Its latest release, the Stratoliner Reentry Edition, is more than just a timepiece; it's a celebration of the moment when spacecraft blaze back into Earth's atmosphere. This limited-edition watch captures the drama of reentry with a dial that has been literally kissed by fire, making each example a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art."
"The centerpiece of the Fortis Stratoliner Reentry Edition is its titanium dial, which undergoes a meticulous hand-finishing process. Using an open flame, artisans heat-treat each dial to create unique heat signatures that produce a spectrum of colors - from deep blue and violet to fiery orange. The result is a dial that looks as if it survived the intensity of atmospheric reentry, with no two pieces exactly alike."
"While the dial is a showstopper, the Stratoliner Reentry Edition is not just about looks. Inside beats the Fortis Manufacture Calibre Werk 17, a chronograph movement that has been tested at the edge of space. In partnership with the Swedish Space Corporation, Fortis subjected the movement to extreme conditions to ensure its reliability even in environments where precision is mission-critical."
The Stratoliner Reentry Edition is a limited-edition Fortis watch featuring a titanium dial hand-finished with an open flame to create unique heat signatures and a spectrum of colors from deep blue and violet to fiery orange. Each dial is one-of-a-kind and designed to evoke spacecraft heat shields and atmospheric reentry. The watch is powered by the Fortis Manufacture Calibre Werk 17, a chronograph with a day/date at 3 o'clock that underwent testing in partnership with the Swedish Space Corporation to validate performance under extreme, mission-critical conditions. The design balances rugged storytelling with refined luxury watchmaking.
