tested and approved by the swedish space corporation.
The Fortis Werk 17 Automatic Manufacture Calibre features a column wheel chronograph for enhanced reliability.
Balance Frequency: 28.800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz)
Power Reserve: 60 hours
Regulated to chronometer standards by the Fortis Watchmakers in Grenchen according to the Fortis Performance Requirements.
It was tested in collaboration with the Swedish Space Corporation. The test consisted of a number of movements fixed on a gondola driven by a stratospheric balloon. Launched at the Esrange Space Center, the test-batch took off into the Stratosphere. After a flight time of 1.5 hours under the harsh cosmic conditions, the movements came back down and landed in the vast forest landscape of Finland. A year later in 2022 the movements have been successfully tested during a rocket campaign. For more details please visit the Fortis YouTube channel
