Two versions are made in the same design. By the way, watchmakers and designers of Fortis have come to the wise decision by putting the names of cities on a rotating bezel, providing it ourselves enough space on the dial. As for the dial, the designers have placed on it a blue-silver image of the Earth on a rotating disk which is surrounded by a 24-hour and 12-hour markings. Globe rotates counterclockwise. In the central part of the dial there are the hands, the hour hand is skeletonized. The hands and hour markers are coated with phosphor composition, which glows in the dark with blue color. At the 3 o’clock position is the date aperture. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal.
