FORTIS SHIGERU's Tweets New Products
Now available in a rugged new design! The “Fortis Flieger F” is in stock!
★ "Freeger F-43 Bi-Compax"
The interplay of black, blue, and orange symbolizes the new Fortis, which features new functionalities and design elements such as “ Brick Track,” “Synchro Line,” and “Bi-Convex.”
Brixtrack®: Instant Visibility
A "Brick Track" refers to a circular track arranged around the outer edge of the dial, on which applied hour markers—known as "bricks" and coated with Super-LumiNova X1—are mounted. This design significantly improves readability, especially in low-light conditions.
Synchroline (SYNCHROLINE®): Track Adjustment Unit
This refers to the orange fluorescent line designed to mark the ±5-second range on the dial. Whenever pilots form a formation, it is essential that every pilot aligns precisely with the others. To achieve this, Fortis has developed the SYNCHROLINE®. Within a ±5-second range, pilots can now synchronize with their teammates.
Bi-Combacks: Two sub-dials arranged side by side
A layout featuring two sub-dials—one for the small seconds and one for the chronograph minutes—arranged horizontally side by side is known as a “bicompax” layout, a design that was once very popular in the history of watchmaking. This model features only the minute counter, indicated by a vivid orange luminescent line, which simplifies the dial and improves overall readability.
★ "Freiger F-39 Automatic"
A 39-millimeter diameter is the perfect size for Japanese wrist sizes.

Brixtrack®: Instant Visibility
Both the “Freiger F-39 Automatic” and the “Freiger F-43 Bi-Compax” feature newly developed straps; their robust construction is truly impressive, and the buckle mechanisms are undoubtedly sturdy and built to last.
Shop Owner’s Thoughts: In February 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic spread worldwide, our company attended the Inforgenta trade show in Munich, Germany. There, we were among the first to get our hands on the prototype of the “Fortis Flieger F.” We were deeply impressed by its craftsmanship and sensed that it would surely become a hit among Fortis fans.
