What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT

The Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT is widely praised for its stunning dial execution, COSC-certified Kenissi WERK 13 movement with a 70-hour power reserve, and legible Brixtrack luminous indices. Owners and reviewers highlight the surprisingly wearable 43mm titanium case and bracelet, noting its lightness and comfort despite the size, with one source specifically mentioning a quick-adjustable extension. The watch offers 200m water resistance and features a Synchroline indicator. However, some owners note the titanium scratches easily and the bracelet can be difficult to size. The watch is priced at €4,500. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT highly for its purpose-focused pilot's watch design and innovative movement.

Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT

Owners widely appreciate the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT for its historical significance and homage to the 1953 original. However, one owner notes criticism regarding the main hour hand being a 12-hour hand on a 24-hour dial, which hinders its intended use and compromises the bezel's functionality, leading to a return. On balance, owners value the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT for its historical connection, though a functional critique exists regarding its hour hand implementation.
