Fortis Marinemaster M-44 DLCvsTissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer 50th Anniversary

The Fortis Marinemaster M-44 DLC is widely praised for its robust COSC-certified Kenissi Werk 11 movement, offering a 70-hour power reserve, and its stealthy, scratch-resistant Dianoir DLC coating. Owners find it comfortable to wear despite its 44mm size, with one owner considering it a standout piece. Some reviewers note a subtle difference in the color tone of the DLC coating on the crown and bezel lock between variants. Overall, owners and reviewers regard the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 DLC highly for its durable construction and reliable, high-spec movement.

The Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer 50th Anniversary is praised for its tasteful integration of anime elements onto the PRX design, featuring an engraved Grendizer bust on a sunburst blue dial with Super-Luminova, and is the first 40mm PRX to omit the date. Owners widely report huge demand, with all 1975 units selling out quickly. The packaging and watch box are described as "dope" and "insane," with one commenter stating the packing alone is "worth the buy." The watch retains the familiar 40mm case, Powermatic 80 movement with 80-hour power reserve, and integrated bracelet. Some find the Grendizer dial less appealing than the standard waffle dial, with one owner calling it "childish," while another considers it "the best PRX." The Grendizer graphic is less prominent in person than in photos, and the watch has a ghost date position. The Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer 50th Anniversary retails for US$825 / CHF 795.
