The Fortis Flipper is pure late 60s attitude – a red dial stuffed into a chunky plastic case that doesn’t pretend to be anything but fun. It’s lightweight, loud, and retro, but still packing a punch as these were rated to 600 feet. Apparently, it was made for the 1968 Olympics. Inside is a simple manual wind movement. Nothing complicated or delicate, just a playful vintage beater with a ton of charm, the kind of oddball that’s worth collecting. It also seems to come with the original leather strap, or at least a very good modern version. **Condition:** Good condition for its age. The case and bezel have some wear, but nothing major. The acrylic crystal looks very good. Please see the pictures for full condition and clarity. **Case Size:** 37 x 42.8mm plastic case with a thickness of 12.9mm and a lug width of 18mm. **Movement:** Swiss 17-jewel manual wind movement. Service history is unknown, but everything is working as it should. **Other Information:** * It seems to have the original leather strap, or at least a very good modern version. **Price:** Asking $280. Please add $25 for worldwide shipping. Payment methods include Wise, ACH transfer, Revolut, Bitcoin (On-Chain or Lightning), or PayPal G&S for buyers with solid references. Add +7.5% for currency conversion fees on the latter. Portugal has suspended all local post shipments to the US, but I can still ship with UPS ($120).

	Established:	1912
	Website:	http://www.fortis-watches.com/
	Country of Origin:	Switzerland

Fortis was founded by Walter Vogt in 1912. Twelve years after its establishment, Vogt set up production with John Harwood, inventor of the automatic wristwatch. In 1926, Fortis released the patented Harwood Automatic, the first self-winding wristwatch, at Baselword. In 1937, Fortis commemorated the company's 25th anniversary by manufacturing and marketing its first chronographs, including the Rolls and the Autorist. The Autorist was also designed by John Harwood and used the movement of the strap to power the watch. By 1943 Fortis introduced the world's first waterproof watches with the Fortissimo models, which were increasingly popular.

In 1962 the Spacematic automatic was constructed to hold up in extreme conditions and temperature changes. The watch was tested by the seven members of a US space mission. In 1994 Fortis introduced strict endurance tests. This same year the Star City Training Center chose the Fortis Official Cosmonauts Chronograph as part of its issued equipment. Fortis automatic wristwatches have proven their space capability inside and outside of the protection of the space station. Since 1994 Fortis has been the exclusive supplier of manned space missions authorized by the Russian Federal Space Agency.
