 I have been looking into the Fortis B-42 Cosmonaute GMT watch but don't know anything about the movement. It is basicly the first watch that cought my eye for real. If it hadn't been for the Enzo EMV would probably have bought it, or atleast still be saving for it ;)
 
Damn that Enzo...too good! :D
 
Anyway I don't really know that much about GMT-watches though I really like the idea.
 
Enzo! Keep me from the Fortis, make a GMT watch! ;)
 
So does anyone here have the watch in question or a Fortis at all and know if they are any good?
 
If you know anything about how it works when setting the time then please help me understand.
 
Is the 24h hand made so it jumps directly between hours or does it flow inbetween like a normal hour-hand?

You set the 12h hand as normal by pulling the crown out and turning?
and if you pull it out some more you set the 24h? Or is the 24h always the same hour as the 12h hand?
and to set the date you have to keep turning the 12h hand? No extra step to just change date?
