After Baselworld: Fortis Spacematic in steel or stealth

After Baselworld: Fortis Spacematic in steel or stealth

This watch was just introduced at Baselworld 2017. I believe that this is a great deal from Fortis, it carries a pricetag below 1000 Swiss Francs and is geared to make a great mechanical watch accessible to a much wider audience.

The Fortis Spacematic is the best deal to get a Fortis watch if you are a beginner looking for a pleasant mechanical watch from a famous and old Swiss watchmanufacturer.

As the name Spacematic suggests, this watch is part of the Cosmonautis collection at Fortis. In 1962 the Spacematic automatic was constructed to hold up in extreme conditions and temperature changes.

SPACEMATIC is a symbol of the long watchmaking history of FORTIS.  It is one of the signature products born in collaboration with the Russian Space Agency ROSCOSMOS.

There are two new Spacematics, one in stainless steel PVD coated and one in stainless steel.

The PVD Spacematic carries the reference 623.18.18.

There are plenty of choices in terms of straps.  I loved the natostrap on the steel Spacematic, right up my taste.  The design is classy, timeless and the watch wears very comfy on the wrist.  The pictures give an impression and comparison of the two watches.

The steel Spacematic can be ordered from the new webshop of Fortis.

I think the perfect combination for me would be the beige natostrap on the stealth Spacematic.
