Definitely interesting. I’m just wondering the purpose of that dual bezel pip.

Pretty cool. I like the gray.

The countdown Mission Control Bezel is one of the more unique features of this watch as it has two key marks 10 minutes apart, the delay between radio transmissions to and from Mars.

I like it. I don't think I've ever seen zero's put in front of the hour numbers on a watch before, is there really any reason for that?

Re: Fortis Cosmonaut AMADEE-20 Chronograph
I think it’s just a military time, 24 hour clock thing. Not much point to it on a watch actually. 0900 would be spoken as “zero nine hundred” and 1900 as “nineteen hundred”. Like I said, kinda pointless on a watch you’d use all the time except as a style thing.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

It's pretty sad that they have not come out with a new case design in a decade. That case does not wear very well.

Maybe I could use it to time the delay between me asking my teenage daughter a question and getting a response....CGSshorty wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 5:16 amRyeguy wrote:Definitely interesting. I’m just wondering the purpose of that dual bezel pip.

Re: Fortis Cosmonaut AMADEE-20 Chronograph
It really is cool Chris, and what's nice is it is different, but without going
too wild or anything. You have an almost traditional feel at first glance,
and then interstellar vibe up close. Actually is pretty terrific imho, as well
as fun to see.
Thank you very very much !!!

Fun fact, a Martian day is 24 hours and 37 minutes. Suppose we could get it regulated to run a little slow?
