Marinemaster: A Watch You Need To Know About & Why It's The Best Fortis Yet (M-40 & M-44 Review)

[@j.burgess4459]

Kudos to Fortis for sending the watches to TGV for an uncensored review. (If watch companies aren't prepared to do this, maybe there is a reason? And maybe it's an obvious one...?🤔)

[@tarasmathers7423]

TGV, Fortis has become one of my absolute favorite brands. Primarily from the revitalization of this ever-important horological brand, as well as education provided by your in-depth reviews, sharing not only the stats of the model/models in-topic, but a brief backlog historical overview of the brand itself, and its historical importance. Case in-point, thank you, for leading me to the "promiseland." Forever grateful. Cheers...

[@Ray.J]

Fortis has become one of my favorite companies and that is all due to TGV's enthusiasm for the brand. I have been particularly impressed by the ability to combine incredible designs and detailing while remaining a robust tool watch. Why choose form or function when you can have both? As far as styling, I love the textured dials and straps, but the black coin bezel just blows me away. Thanks TGV for putting Fortis on my radar.

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear that. They are indeed the real deal. You hit the nail on the head, excellent comment. Thank you Ray for the inspiring words, onwards, upwards and best regards! TGV

Have handled and owned almost every brand under the sun and Fortis is a favorite tool watch. Not many can claim 100+ years of "continous" operation, most time spent in space (way more than omega) , inventor of automatic, and independent. had 7 at one time (down to 4 currently) and they ran +0-2/week ,not day. If they had marketing,celebrity endorsement, artifical supply manipulation, "paid/influenced" media hype genertion like the big boys do,, the same people who ignore/sh..t on them would turn around and be #1 fans over night. Fortis is a gem.

[@Ryanprime37]

It’s always the history that I come for when watching these reviews. Thank you so much!

[@pinchnsqueal]

This is the first Fortis I would actually consider buying. I always appreciated some of their engineering features, suspension case and "glide lock" but the designs never spoke to me the way this one does.

[@bkelly23]

Sounds like you may be referring to the brand Formex.

[@pinchnsqueal]

@@bkelly23 I looked it up, you are right. I wonder how long I've been confusing those brands.

Thanks for highlighting an overlooked brand. Fortis is rich in history and makes no nonsense tool watches. Love Fortis.

[@Ninakoklahombi]

Absolutely love Fortis. These are a great addition to their lineup. I plan on purchasing a Fortis very soon. I just picked up two watches this last month so funds are low lol. Great presentation as always! All the best !

[@77cjam]

Been following these on Fortis' social media recently and the light green and grey ones really caught my eye. Your video has further enhanced this. Seems Fortis has another knocked out the park watch on their hands. Great informative and beautifully shot video again sir. Your knowledge, respect and love of the brand always comes across, and as usual Fortis provides the watches that deserve it. 👍

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much Chris, I appreciate that so much. They are absolutely killing it, in many ways, the new Sinn of the watch world perhaps? I hope you do go for the Green one, I don't blame you, I am fighting myself NOT to get the grey. 🤣 Oh well, on to the next one! 😎🥂 Best regards, TGV

Fortis is such an underrated watch brand. I am glad you give it the airtime so people can really enjoy them.

[@steelsteez6118]

8:10 fun fact, Kenissi is the international watch manufacturer company that Tudor has created to supply them their in house movements and also to non swatch/eta companies.

[@garyzimmerman6367]

Very good review. The one thing I want to make a comment on though, is your statements about the cost of the watches. For myself and I’m sure many others, I don’t care about the costs developing and manufacturing a watch. I just care about the price they’re charging for a particular watch. The price compared to others the company makes and the price compared to other watches in its class. Money is always the bottom line.

[@FreshYoungDude]

Rockstone Grey is simply lovely. What a piece. But I agree, wish the blue, orange, green were darker shades personally.

[@speedyspooley]

I’m expecting a nice infusion of cash in the next 6 months, and I have been wanting to upgrade my watch collection into the next level. I’m currently in the Hamilton and Victorinox level….but I’d like to make an investment into the next level. I’ve been looking into pre-owned Rolex and Omega….but this review of the Fortis has really piqued my interest. It speaks to the quality over flash aspect. A true tool watch that focuses on quality and versatility over being purely a status symbol. I’m not of the financial means to just buy purely from aesthetics. While I have the ability to buy something nicer for myself…I still have to keep an eye on being reasonable. The Fortis seems to hit all of the marks I’m looking for. Thank you for such an excellent review.

[@daviddicicco195]

Great review TGV, and the one I’ve been waiting for! You were the first to make me aware of the brand, and this was my first Fortis purchase. I haven’t regretted it for a second. After several months of ownership my only complaint is the non tapering bracelet. It’s a perfect watch to me otherwise, and is never going to leave my collection.

[@GuyVanderAa]

A beautiful meaningful history, an independent brand and a true tool watch. Am I foolish to like this over a Tudor? Just gorgeous. Especially the M44. Definitely on my wish list!

[@triples4good]

Brilliant video. Love the dial, it has a real late 60 early 70s design language. The color work really well. The bezel very interesting in that the machining around it gives a separate pressed on tool feel. Fortis is a brand that deserves to be talked about a lot more.

[@CoberBox1]

Size has been the biggest reason I never picked up a Fortis. @ 40mm They’ve got my attention.

[@markbock3027]

Nice. Thanks, TGV, for giving Fortis some much-deserved attention. The new Marinemaster lineup is very appealing… but I just bought a Flieger F-41 last month so my wrist is occupied. I love this company’s designs, and I’m a big fan of how they’ve embraced the reality of the modern market. Brick and mortar ADs may be nice if you happen to have one nearby, but if you live in one of the many areas not served by one, you’re out of luck under the traditional watch sales model. It makes so much more sense to sell direct online, as Fortis has realized. No nonsense sales for a no nonsense watch. My Flieger made it to me in the northeastern US in three days from Switzerland. And it included a handwritten note, a nice touch that made the purchase experience seem that much more personal. Needless to say, I’m a very satisfied customer. And the watch has monopolized my wrist ever since it arrived.

[@theurbangentry]

Congrats on the F-41, such a cool watch glad to hear their service was great despite the distance! You truly get it, well said and thank you Marc. Wear it with pride my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@andywilson3761]

Great video as always TGV. Love the watches! 🦖

[@ExpeditedProductions]

So glad to see you enjoying you Dan Henry 1972 Maverick. Fortis really has been pushing the envelope with their new pieces. Really top notch. If I had any need for another tool/diver, I would be seriously tempted. The Kinessi movements are really getting popular. They are powering the Norquain pieces I think as well. Also like the gray. The Flieger GMT has really tempted me, but it just won’t fit my work wear as well as some other pieces. Really nice to see Fortis pushing for excellence. While this piece won’t be the Fortis to make it into my collection it is definitely a great piece that will satisfy many and their watch needs. Thanks so much, TGV. Had no idea about the Marinemaster copyright and nomenclature. As always, I learn something from all of your videos. Hope you and yours are well. Onward and upward, my friend.

[@richardrigby3755]

Nice touch with Shadow Divers in the background. Probably the best read about technical diving there is.

[@BlueRam788]

Thanks for the review, always happy to see another Fortis. Been a fan for of them for a long time. I think this new design really revamps this collection. I like the blue personally, it’s something different. I really like that lug design as well. Love the intros, best in the game!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much! 😎🙏 Best regards, TGV

[@carguy3645]

I own the Fortis B42 Marinemaster Chronograph Alarm limited edition of 73/300 and I absolutely love the watch. Looks beautiful on the wrist has an alarm and is a Chrono. I mean what other model has these specs. Not many a true collectible.

[@malikknows3510]

Well, a watch's price must be competitive in the market. Having an appreciation, imho, for the factory work that goes into it is beside the point. Nice, thorough, review, though.

[@oOoScarecrow31oOo]

Like Sinn, this is high quality, reliable, clean and simple design. Great value for money. 👍😎 But this level of quality comes at a price. For me, it would be perfect for a small collection from 1 to 5 watches. 👌

[@richardattridge3182]

I think the New Fortis Marine master in Rock stone grey looks superb. The bracelet looks very robust indeed, and the lume with the circle around the hour markers, makes the dial really stand out. The thing is, I’ve just purchased the flieger F-39 on the leather strap, and I’m absolutely smitten with it, as my first fortis. Really want to see what they release in the future, with a new version of a classic cosmonaut chronograph on my list, or even the current model. Very good brand in fortis.

[@TheRunningManZ]

Sellita movement for £3k or you can pay £4200 for a Tudor movement. I hate to say it and I know you talked about the costs in the vid. But that is too high. I’m really struggling to see why overpaying for that movement has anything to do with being a “true watch collector in the know.” They are way too much money for what they are. The Tudor Chrono with the Breitling BO1 movement in it, is less than a Breitling, there is a reason for that. Even though it’s a great watch, it’s priced where it should be. How can a Tudor movement watch be priced more than the Tudor when put in a Fortis? The finishing on Tudor and the bracelets are great, at least as good as these Fortis surely? I know all of this is obvious but if you’re looking at the Selitta ones buy an Oris for half as much roughly. Or get a BB58 or a Pelagos from Tudor with the upgraded movement in it. Also worth pointing out Tudor give you a 5 year warranty on the same movements for less money than you pay here and with Fortis you get 2. You’d have to have money falling out of your pockets to buy one of these over a Tudor. Full disclosure, I don’t even own a Tudor, I’m not a fanboy.

[@theurbangentry]

A very good point, one I will be addressing in a up and coming watch talk video. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@stevea2639]

Would love to see that grey/orange at 40mm. I would be all-in on that even with a single crown. Great job TGV and thanks for keeping us informed about this brand. And thanks to Fortis for allowing you to share their great products with us. Cheers!

[@klausm5460]

Fortis really show a cracking style in their latest model lines. However, it always amazes me how much less appealing a watch becomes to me by not having conventional lugs. Too narrow-minded?

[@HRM.H]

One watch you might have to take a look at is the upcoming Zelos Spearfish! It comes with a very promising movement , the Le Joux Perret G100 , a 4Hz 68hr powerreserve , ETA 2824-2 compatible movement. It's a very interesting watch and at a affordable price point , starts at 650 usd. They don't have the best QC but do have amazing customer service to make up for it...

[@theurbangentry]

Will do, thank you for the heads up. I know we covered it in a watch talk episode, but you are spot on, over due for an actual hands on review. Thank you Thomas, sounds very compelling, Best regards, TGV

[@HRM.H]

@@theurbangentry yeah i think Zelos is really doing good stuff lately , they will introduce a new slimmer on-the-fly microadjust clasp somewhere in the end of 2022. If they manage to get slimmer clasps and not raise the price above 1000 usd they'll be a force to be reckoned with .

[@heikowallauer]

Good evening TGV, great you have the Fortis Marinemaster on the channel. In my opinion a quite refreshing take on the sportswatch. With this watch I would go with a rubber strap. The orange one looks very fresh, a perfect summer watch. But I agree, a darker blue option may be the better daily-do-it-all-watch, because it can be dressed up to some extent to work with more formal attire. Have a great evening!

[@chrisbradshaw7708]

While these are pieces don't particularly grab me they are still very nice for what they are. I appreciate the attention you bring to the brand. I have learned more from your channel about Fortis than anywhere else and my appreciation for them continues to grow thanks to your contributions.

This watch is in my top two rotation of web visits. I keep trying to pull the trigger but I am not sure how I'd react in hands on to it. I can't get around that lug/strap style and I think I would hate it, but the rest of the watch is all love to me. This is the best review I have seen of it so far and appreciate it. Sadly for Fortis it also put me more in the box of not buying it, but it saves me from yet another watch arriving that did not live up to the internet desire. I might still give it a flyer if some hit the second hand market. Thx again!

[@DustandPiers]

The gray dial is awesome. 40mm wearing very well on you in this, which I suspect is due to that lug design. IWC's in 40mm, for example, wear like an aircraft carrier across my wrist of the same size. Very, very cool watches. The antimagnetic bonus on the 40mm is singing to me. I could use that. I magnetize my seiko every time I wear it to work!

I get your points about costs and 'for the price I could get this' comments. But to be realistic in a competitive market it could impact sales especially for non-brand loyalists. I.e. options in the same general price range Omega Aqua Terra, Tudor Black Bay 58 ... both of which are good watches and good brands. It may ultimately be the brand loyalists that this watch most appeals to. I like Fortis as a brand and their space connection and heritage ... this particular watch/style as an everyday wear will however have more competition.

[@jc944t]

Excellent review as always and glad to see Fortis coming out with great redesign on their Diver. The crazy thing is I still gravitate towards their Cosmonaut designs of the late 90s and early 2000s.

[@LectioDivina33]

Great review TGV. I think watch reviewers need to not compliment (boasts) watch makers with a 38 hour power reserve. 38 hours is below par in my opinion, looking at you Oris. I only look at minimum 50 hours but generally 70 to 72 hours. Great job as usual! 😊

How do you feel when increased power reserve comes at the cost of lower beat rate? Often a tradeoff between one or the other.

Very impressed with the M44, however I feel like the M40 is a bit of a miss here. Without the screw lock for the bezel, or the upgraded movement, it feels like just another dive style watch with some “fun” colors.

I agree about the movement, but I feel the opposite about the locking bezel. I use my bezel a lot to time things throughout the day - I would hate to have to reach for that locking crown (on the opposite side of the watch) every time I want to use it. Same concept for screw in chrono pushers - although those you can simply leave them unscrewed.

What a fantastic lineup by Fortis. I adore my M-40s! I just wish there was a Fortis AD near me so I could try the M-44 on. On paper it looks like it might fit me, but in practice I don't think it would. I do wish the M-40 had the upgraded movement but it's not a showstopper for me - the M-40 has been super accurate and reliable so far. I was just telling someone else in your comments - I'm not sure how I feel about the locking bezel on the M-44. I use my bezel a lot to time things throughout the day - I would hate to have to reach for that locking crown (on the opposite side of the watch) every time I want to use it.

[@pacovl46]

I like the one with the white dial. It reminds me of the silver dial AP Royal Oak you had for a while. The only downside to it is the stainless hands because they’re a pain in the ass to read in low light conditions. That’s why I’ve changed the original SKX hands on my SKX to light blue hands after I upgraded the dial to one made from mother of pearl.

[@alfonsoaguado3453]

The grey one with the tracksuit, PERFETTO,

The white or blue could be a good summer (or winter!) watch :) I’m still in hunt for this watch … so thank you for inspiring my envy. It could compete with doxa 600t, Aquis etc watches. I love the orginality of the dial. Of course the movement is quite basic on the 40mm that I prefer (if not a problem, may be the power reserve that I since enjoy with 70h on my datejust) but at this price, a lot are…

[@Robinson8491]

I love the 40mm rockgrey, disappointed about the 38h movement as well, but still might try to grab one as it really does it for me after a couple of semi happy purchases I realize I need something I'm passionate about.

I would love to see a black dial for the 40mm but the grey and the blue look nice 👌🏻 Like TGV the bracelet seems too big for the 40 mm version. Yes it’s well made and Swiss made but it’s over 3000€ and it’s a position with a lot of competition on the market. Fortis maybe needs to have more retailers because, for me at least, it’s difficult to buy a 3K watch online without testing it before.
