Description

This is an automatically translated text.
Don't look for an air of déjà vu in this watch, it is between the Daytona of Rolex ref 6241 and the Montecarlo of Tudor ref 7169, it has just an advantage compared to the last two, it is at the time water resistant to 200m that is four times more than its Geneva cousins, amazing and considering the design one could wonder why it was not the same for Rolex and Tudor. But that's another story...

Another point in common this time with the Daytona, the Marinemaster 8001 is equipped with the famous calibre Valjoux 72 with a high quality finish not so far from the calibre 727.

When we look at other details, we notice that Fortis has equipped the Marinemaster 8001 with large pump plungers and, above all, a large winding crown. Alas, this last one is neither signed nor screwed, but it remains very comfortable to use. Its notched rotating bezel slightly protrudes beyond the case (diameter 39) for optimal use. The bottom of the box is screwed on and shows a lot of information lightly engraved: the brand and its logo, the model and its reference as well as the material and the sealing. Inside, the brand name "Fortis Watch Ltd swiss" and the serial number can be read again.

Its dial is the best asset of this watch, both Montecarlo and Daytona type. The colours here elegantly change from blue to black and then white. Special note for the 3 o'clock counter, a kind of blue and black casino roulette at 5 minute intervals. We have a second series with the yellow and orange counters.

In conclusion, a watch worthy of the most beautiful Daytona with a 2mm larger diameter (and that's a huge advantage), a case 4 times more water resistant ( 20 atm), an equivalent movement, and a production singer dial mixing the beauty of a sigma dial with the Montecarlo of Tudor. For, let's specify it, only 15% of the price of a Daytona ...So don't hesitate one second !
