Fortis Skylark in Teal Green with a Stunning Granite Texture Encased in 20k Gold Plating, c.1970.

Fortis Watches, a renowned Swiss watch brand, has a rich history that spans over a century. Founded in 1912 by Walter Vogt, the company initially focused on producing wristwatches for the military and aviation sectors. Fortis quickly gained recognition for its precision and reliability, becoming the official timekeeper for several prominent organizations, including the Royal Air Force.

What’s On Offer 

This watch is absolutely charming! Just look at the teal green dial with that granite-like texture, stunning! There are so many things I love about this watch! The gold and green colourway looks very regal, the applied Roman numerals look so chic, and the elliptical gold case is just beautiful! The dial is completed by a subtle date aperture at 6 o'clock and an applied Fortis signature at noon. The watch is in superb vintage condition with barely any noticeable signs of wear, the dial is pristine and the case and lugs are also in fine shape. We have paired it with a really nice green leather strap with contrast stitching which brings out the colour in the dial wonderfully. You don't see many of these beauties around and certainly not in this fantastic condition, so snap it up and be the (green) envy of your friends! lol
