    Need help identifying Fortis chrono

    Hi guys,

    I saw this group of Fortis watches, and I'm wondering if anybody could help me identify the two on the left.
    I've never seen them before. Thanks in advance.



    Picture came from this thread:

    The leftmost watch is the original Fortis Stratoliner, aka, "the poor man's grail", after the Omega Speedmaster 376.0822, which it resembles, and whose Lemania 5100 movement it shares.The one in the middle is the Fortis Cosmonaut Chrono LE, model 644.27.11, a superb titanium chrono also with the Lemania 5100, an example of which I'm fortunate enough to own.

    Thank you HappyJack! As awesome as your watch is, I don't think I'll want another B-42, in fact I'm selling mine because it's too big.
    The picture in question caught my eye since the second watch from the left (3-6-9 subdials) look to be a manageable size (36mm? 38mm?)

    Don't know the exact model in question but case looks exactly like Fortis Official Cosmonauts Chronograph model 630.10.11 and that one is 38 mm. It uses 7750 so it has chrono dials at 6, 9, 12. I agree with you that today's 'Big watches' craze is sometimes too much.
