B42 or Flieger?

[mitadoc]

Hi guys,Fortis is new to me( I have never own one) and I have few questions.Where is Fortis positioned as a brand?Maybe above Tissot and below Omega?What movement grades do they use in their watches?Is the 20ATM water resistance with non screw down crown is effective?What is the overall quality of their watches?

So,I have stuck on these 2 models which seem to be similar but not exactly.I like them both,but I can`t find more pictures of Flieger on the net.Can you post your Fliegers here?I read that the case is the same as measures but the Flieger doesn`t have rotating bezel and it has separate windows for day/date functions.And the hands are very different(I prefer the Flieger sword hands).So,wish one should I choose?Does the Flieger have bracelet as the B42?




Thank you in advance for your cooperation and advices.

BTW both are B-42 cases. The first model is the B-42 Marinemaster, and the second one is the B-42 Flieger Big Date. The (expensive) bracelet is also available as an option on the Flieger.

Regarding placement of the day/date windows, the Flieger comes with a modified Sellita SW220 to accomodate the big date wheel. Otherwise it is functionally identical with the Marinemaster's movement.
