We are thrilled to unveil the Novonaut AMADEE-24 Limited Edition, a masterpiece born from the challenges and triumphs of the AMADEE-24 Mars analog mission.

This watch epitomizes the spirit of Martian exploration through simulated environments on Earth. The AMADEE-24 mission is a further cornerstone in preparing for future endeavors on the Red Planet.

The Novonaut AMADEE-24 boasts subtle golden accents and Lumicast numerals, which provide a touch of elegance against the robust, utilitarian design of the titanium case. This aesthetic choice symbolizes the blend of top-tier engineering with the timeless beauty of exploration, setting a new standard for luxury in tool watches.

We are thrilled to announce that Robert “Rob” Milne, is one of the lucky thirteen to become an Elite Guardian of the limited edition Stratoliner S-41 White Dust Supernova watch. A testament to the spirit of exploration that defines our brand, the thirteen Stratoliner Supernova watches embarked on a remarkable journey into space aboard the Suborbital Express 3 mission, alongside a series of Microgravity project experiments. Rob’s passion for aviation, aerospace, and horology, fueled by a legacy of family involvement in American manned space programs, made him the perfect candidate for this honor.

Rob’s dedication to Fortis, stemming from his admiration of our brand’s commitment to creating robust timepieces for pilots and astronauts, highlights a connection that transcends the mere aesthetic appeal of our watches. His active participation in the Fortis community and keen interest in space exploration are emblematic of the spirit that the Stratoliner Supernova embodies. Rob plans to integrate this unique timepiece into his life not just as a watch, but as a symbol of his passions, wearing it proudly on all occasions, from professional meetings to global travels and special evenings out.

Owning a Stratoliner Supernova is a dream come true for Rob, representing a link to the grand narrative of space exploration – a narrative he has been part of through his family’s history and his own enthusiasm for the cosmos. This summer, Rob looks forward to taking his Stratoliner Supernova on a vacation to Switzerland, where he will share its incredible story with watchmakers and enthusiasts alike.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Rob for this remarkable achievement and express our profound gratitude to Little Treasury Jewelers for orchestrating the event that celebrated Rob’s addition to the Fortis family. Little Treasury Jewelers has been instrumental in fostering a community that appreciates the art of watchmaking and the spirit of adventure that Fortis stands for.

At Fortis, our core is defined by relentless innovation and the spirit of exploration. In a landmark collaboration with the Swedish Space Corporation in November 2022, we launched thirteen Stratoliner Supernova watches into the void of space, challenging the very boundaries of traditional watchmaking. These timepieces, having endured the extremes of outer space, stand as a testament to our adventurous ethos and our unwavering commitment to precision in any condition.

Last year, we offered these stellar ambassadors of our brand to watch and space enthusiasts through an exclusive application process. Our partnership with Fratello Watches, a platform that echoes our passion for distinctive timepieces, enabled us to extend one of these space-traveled treasures to their vibrant community. Among the sea of applicants, it was Khalid’s genuine passion for horology and his enthusiasm for the Fortis brand that distinguished him as the perfect custodian for one of these exceptional pieces.

Khalid’s story with us is a remarkable tale of affinity and exploration. His journey from the moment he first laid eyes on a Fortis watch to becoming an integral part of our latest chapter in space exploration is a vivid illustration of the enduring allure of our creations. The day Khalid visited our headquarters in Grenchen to meet Jupp and the team and collect his Stratoliner Supernova was a celebration of the shared values and boundary-pushing spirit that defines our community.

The Stratoliner Supernova is not just a watch; it’s a marvel of engineering, designed to withstand the rigors of space and embody the pinnacle of horological craftsmanship. Its journey beyond the Kármán line is a bold statement of our philosophy: Fortis. Tool Watch. Redefined. This piece is a symbol of our belief that true exploration knows no limits, and it serves as a beacon for future adventures in the vast unknown.

We invite you to delve deeper into Khalid’s cosmic journey and the extraordinary voyage of the Stratoliner Supernova watches. Discover more about the unique collaboration that made this possible and the unparalleled features that set these watches apart.

We are excited to present a captivating series of reels on Instagram that not only highlight the spirit of adventure but also the relentless pursuit of excellence, embodied by the master of open waters, Romano Mombelli. In a significant testament to his dedication and the unparalleled resilience of our Marinemaster collection, Romano has achieved a lifelong dream by successfully navigating the perilous waters of the English Channel.

This remarkable feat places Romano at the heart of our Marinemaster narrative, reflecting the collection’s core values. Celebrated for his extraordinary swim across Lake Lucerne, Romano’s conquest of the English Channel is a milestone in his ongoing quest to complete the Ocean’s Seven—a grueling seven-part long-distance swimming challenge that represents the pinnacle of marathon swimming. His journey through the Channel, marked by icy currents and vast, unpredictable waters, underscores a symphony of endurance and the profound balance between battling the elements and connecting deeply with them.

Romano Mombelli is more than an athlete; he is a true conqueror of vast expanses. His experiences in the English Channel and beyond have tested our Marinemaster watches to their limits, showcasing their robustness against nature’s unpredictable forces. Since the Marinemaster’s introduction in 1954, we have been at the forefront of creating robust waterproof watches that embody reliability and strength. Our timepieces are designed with innovative features such as the UW-30 movement, an antimagnetic balance wheel, and a Triple-Gasket crown system, catering to those who dare to navigate the most daunting waters.

The Marinemaster’s philosophy of being a silent, yet reliable partner, resonates with Romano’s approach to his craft. As he faced the tumultuous English Channel, his Marinemaster stood as a testament to decades of engineering excellence and the adventurous spirit that is our legacy.

As we continue to create timepieces for the bold and the brave, we celebrate Romano Mombelli’s incredible achievements and the spirit of all adventurers who seek to master the seas. The Marinemaster collection, renowned for its resilience and precision, is ready to accompany you through the next tide of challenges.
