The FORTRESS features a double-display dial combining mechanical tactility with digital precision — clear analog reading in daylight, and sharp digital visibility even at night. It blends the emotional warmth of traditional hands with the precision of digital data, built to withstand the challenges of the outdoors while standing out in everyday wear.
4. What about the world time function?
The FORTRESS offers World Time for 33 time zones, keeping you in sync with distant places and fellow explorers. Daylight saving time (DST) can be switched on — when DST is displayed, the time automatically increases by 1 hour.
5. What about the stopwatch?
The chronograph's digital display caps at 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59.99 seconds. If not stopped manually, the timing will continue indefinitely, resetting automatically upon reaching the maximum value. Its timing functions include total elapsed time, split time (SPL), and a second-place finisher's time. Timing continues running in the background even if you exit the stopwatch mode.
6. What about the countdown timer?
Don't count the time — focus on the goal. The FORTRESS supports a maximum 24-hour countdown with customizable time setting. When the set countdown time is reached, an alarm sounds for 10 seconds — press any button to stop it.
7. What about the alarm functions?
The FORTRESS supports two sets of alarm times (AL1, AL2), one snooze function (SNZ), and an hourly time signal (SIG). When the set alarm time is reached, it sounds for 20 seconds — press any button to stop it. With the snooze function enabled, the alarm sounds for 20 seconds each time, repeating every 5 minutes, for a total of 7 times. The hourly chime sounds twice.
8. What about time display and the date?
The digital display shows normal time (hour, minute, second) while the analog hands indicate hours and minutes. The day of the week automatically updates with the date (adjustable year range: 2000–2099), with 12/24-hour format selection. In 12-hour format, "P" the PM period.
9. What about the backlight and night readability?
A powerful LED backlight lights up the entire display, giving you clear readability during late-night camping or early-morning hikes. In any mode, press the A (LIGHT) button once to illuminate with a 2-second delay. The luminous pointer plus LED backlight makes reading time at night easier.
