About this entry

74% of key specs known. Missing: weight, bracelet links, end links, link attachment, clasp micro-adjust.

The date version of the Fortitude, in the slimmer case introduced with the no-date Fortitude Lite (see fortitude-lite); the first Fortitude dates from 2020. The updated Pro went on sale in October 2023 ("Our updated Fortitude Pro is finally here": the Lite's side profile and steel hardened to HV1200). Brand specs, the same on every listing: 38.5mm with drilled lugs, ~11.9mm including crystal, 45.5mm lug-to-lug, 20mm lugs, brushed and polished 316L with an HV1200 scratch-resistant coating, screw-down crown, Viton gaskets, anti-magnetic to 20,000 A/m, flat sapphire with AR on the underside, 200m (660 ft / 20 ATM), BGW9 Grade A Super-LumiNova, Miyota 9015 adjusted in-house to ±10 s/day (positions not stated), and a 316L bracelet tapering from 20mm to 16mm. aBlogtoWatch (May 2024) confirms 11.9mm, 45.5mm and the drilled lugs, a plain solid caseback and a simple fold-over clasp without quick adjustment, and gives the price then as $675 (a Viva Magenta colourway, limited to 50 pieces, was sold then; it has no store page now and is not recorded). The 2026 listings (Navy, Gloss Black, Silver, Polar, Sand) say the new batch adds a quick-adjust buckle and a slight bevel on the case sides and bracelet; the buckle type is not described, so no micro-adjust is recorded. The Gloss Black listing (store URL "fortitude-pro-navy") carries the same SKU as the Navy, FPNS2, so the SKU is kept on the Navy only. Status by variant: on 2026-10-24 the Navy and Silver could be ordered and the Gloss Black, Polar and Sand were sold out but still in the brand's Fortitude Pro collection; Mint Green, Mother of Pearl (its page says "discontinued: will only be available in the Lite version") and Powder Blue (titled "Discontinued") are in the store's Archives collection.
