The watch manufacturer was founded in 1912 in Grenchen, Switzerland, by Walter Vogt and developed into a well-known name in the following years. In 1926, for example, Fortis produced the first self-winding wristwatch in series production.
After the family business passed to Walter Vogt’s sons in 1962, Fortis developed the „Spacematik Automatik“ space watch, which was designed to withstand extreme conditions and temperature fluctuations. In 1994, Fortis succeeded for the first time in producing a watch that was used in a mission in open space. In the meantime, Fortis has a new owner and owns a wide range of watches of various kinds.
For the 30th anniversary of the Swiss Air Force PC-7 Team, Fortis wanted a set packaging including a matching travel case. The colours and the look should harmonise with the colours of the Swiss Air Force PC-7 Team and the watch.
The special case for the PC-7 Team Aeromaster was covered in blue and depicts a flying squadron, which was embossed centrally on the lid. The inside of the case, on the other hand, was covered in red and offers space for the removable insert in grey. The insert contains the watch with watch roll, a leather strap, a travel pouch and the warranty card. The padded cover cushion is also covered in grey and has been refined with the Fortis logo and an air force squadron in dark grey, with blind embossed condensation stripes.
The travel case of this series is covered in leather look and under the removable watch insert there is still space for the booklet and two screwdrivers.
We would like to thank Fortis for the great cooperation on this great project and look forward to more exciting projects in the future.
