Fortis Stratoliner Reentry Edition
The Fortis Stratoliner Reentry Edition is a unique timepiece that combines space-inspired design with practical functionality. Its titanium dial features a striking blue spot applied through an open flame, symbolizing the extreme heat experienced during spacecraft reentry. The 41mm case, crafted from recycled stainless steel, offers a brushed finish and a screw-down crown for 200m water resistance. Inside, the watch houses the WERK 17 movement, a column wheel chronograph that has undergone rigorous testing in a stratospheric balloon, boasting a 60-hour power reserve. This watch is more than just a tool; it represents the intersection of aerospace innovation and durability. The three-link block bracelet complements the vintage aesthetic with its straight end-links, while the sliding buckle allows for micro-adjustments. Priced at £5,500, the Stratoliner Reentry Edition is available directly from the brand and is positioned as a standout piece for collectors drawn to the allure of space exploration.
