Fortis Introduces the Vagabond: A Modern Companion for the Cosmopolitan Adventurer

Fortis proudly presents the new Vagabond, a luxury tool watch crafted for those who embrace life on the move. This unique timepiece blends Swiss precision with a thoughtful design that reflects the importance of staying connected to home, no matter where the journey takes you. With its striking 18k white gold GMT ring, the Vagabond ensures that wearers can always track their home time—an emotional and practical touch that makes this watch truly unique.

A Watch That Redefines Connection

The Fortis Vagabond redefines the relationship between the wearer and their timepiece, offering a powerful connection to what matters most: home. The 18k white gold GMT ring is not just a design feature; it serves as a reminder that no matter how far you roam, you can always keep an eye on the time back home. This sophisticated tool helps modern travelers stay grounded, even as they cross continents and time zones.

At the heart of the Vagabond is the chronometer-certified Werk 13 movement, developed in collaboration with Kenissi. This state-of-the-art automatic movement offers not only precision but also durability, thanks to its bidirectional rotor and traverse bridge, which provide enhanced resistance to shocks and vibrations. With a 70-hour power reserve, the Vagabond offers reliable timekeeping for long journeys, ensuring that you’re always on time, no matter how far you travel.

Built for Endurance and Style

Crafted from Grade 5 titanium, the 40mm case of the Vagabond is both lightweight and exceptionally durable. Its polished titanium bezel and smoked sapphire caseback give the watch a sleek, modern look that’s both functional and refined. With 200 meters of water resistance, the Vagabond is ready for any adventure—whether it’s a meeting in the city, a hike in the mountains, or a dive into the ocean.

The Super-LumiNova® X1-coated hands and indices ensure excellent visibility, even in low light conditions, making the Vagabond as practical as it is stylish. Whether you’re exploring new cities or traversing the high seas, this timepiece is built to keep up with every step of your journey.

Three Versions for Every Explorer

The Fortis Vagabond comes in three distinct colorways, each designed for a different type of adventurer:

  • Stormy Gray (Ref. F6660000): A bold and timeless design for those who embrace both elegance and adventure.
  • Blue Dusk (Ref. F6660002): Mysterious and deep, this color captures the essence of twilight and is a versatile choice for any occasion.
  • Urban Shadow (Ref. F6660004): Sleek and understated, ideal for the modern city explorer who values sophistication and subtle style.

Each version is paired with the Fortis block bracelet in titanium, offering both comfort and durability for long wear.

A Movement That Keeps Pace with the Modern Traveler

At the core of the Vagabond is the Fortis Werk 13 Automatic Manufacture Calibre, a chronometer-certified movement built to meet the demands of the modern traveler. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz), this movement offers precise timekeeping, while its 70-hour power reserve ensures that the watch remains reliable even through extended use. The integrated GMT complication allows for seamless time zone adjustments, making this watch the perfect companion for those who live life on the move.

The Werk 13 movement is housed in a robust case that not only protects its intricate mechanics but also showcases them through the smoked sapphire caseback. The bidirectional rotor system and traversing bridge further enhance the movement’s resistance to shocks and vibrations, ensuring long-lasting performance.
