Here we have a FORTIS Marinemaster Chronograph Ref. 8001, a wonderful example of a sportive and unique timepiece. This beautiful WRISTCLASSIC comes with 39 mm case in great vintage condition. It offers a fairly wide-set bezel that gives this watch a nice presence. The unique part is clearly the dial with its blue subregisters, giving the watch an individual finger print and making it a great eyecatcher.  The simple Fortis-logo alongside the clean indexes and the big handset are harmonious and well balanced. The crown is original. This WRISTCLASSIC is powered by a valjoux 72 movement, running strong and keeping time well. The watch comes with a leatherstrap in slightly worn condition. This Fortis Marinemaster Chronograph is a rare timepiece and in amazing condition. It’s a true WRISTCLASSIC with perfect proportions, timeless styling, and a great reference to the diving sports. This is the real deal, everything you would want in a vintage chronograph.
