Vintage Fortis men's watch in stainless steel on a textured cowhide strap. Gorgeous refinished re-lumed Roman Numeral Black Dial and hands. Beautiful vintage movement- manufactured in the early 1950's! Grab this bargain while you can! The last three photos are of other 1950's era Fortis movements from Fortis collectors, just to show that this watc has a cleaned, overhauled, and COMPLETELY GENUINE Fortis movement. Grab it while you can!

mweatonesq1 @maddie0598 It is an excellent automatic self-winding Swiss movement.

mweatonesq1 @maddie0598 btw, quartz watches didn't exist when this watch was manufactured in the 1950's.

maddie0598 @mweatonesq1 very cool! How large is the case?

Jan 27Reply

mweatonesq1 @maddie0598 It's pretty standard for the era. Approx. 40mm exclusive of the crown. These days, it would be called "midsized" or "unisex". A very beautiful and excellent timepiece. Would look great on a man or a woman!

maddie0598 @mweatonesq1 great! Any idea the ref. Number or year of mfg?

mweatonesq1 @maddie0598 I opened it up and added a couple photos. I find no serial or reference number, but it is double signed, and from the appearance of the movement, I am guessing somewhere in the early 1950's. I've had it a bit, and it is probably due for a cleaning. I try to get all my vintage watches cleaned every couple of years. Hope this helps!

maddie0598 @mweatonesq1 that’s awesome! Weird question for you- are there any other watches in your collection you want to part with? I want to make a bundle but am not super interested in anything else on your page haha Thanks!

mweatonesq1 @maddie0598 I have a few other watches not listed. Let me see what I can get listed here later today. I have an Omega Constellation quartz which I hadn't planned on selling, but I could, and an early 1950's Breitling manual on a strap that needs some reconditioning I havent gotten done because my regular shop has been closed during the pandemic.

maddie0598 @mweatonesq1 if the brietling is authentic I could be interested!

mweatonesq1 @maddie0598 It's definitely authentic,but in fairly rough coneition. the watch version of a barn find at an estate sale I picked up a couple years ago.
