Fortis is a Swiss watch manufacturer known for producing professional tool watches, particularly aviation and space-inspired models. Fortis watches are typically automatic or mechanical, built for durability and accuracy rather than fashion use.

Yes. Most Fortis watches use high-quality Swiss automatic movements, which require proper mechanical servicing rather than simple part replacement. Regular servicing helps maintain accuracy, lubrication, and long-term reliability.

Common issues include reduced accuracy due to ageing lubricants, crown or stem wear, worn seals affecting water resistance, and general movement wear on watches that have not been serviced regularly.
