Owners talk.

“

The Fortis Vagabond V-40 is praised for its charismatic, retro 70s feel, featuring a titanium case, a unique dial with an 18K white gold GMT ring, and a Kenissi-developed Werk 13 chronometer movement. Owners note its good build quality and comfort, with one describing it as oozing cool. However, its $6,150 USD price is considered a "tough sell" and a "colossal misstep" by some, with concerns raised about its 14mm thickness, 51mm lug-to-lug, and poor resale value, though one reviewer noted the bracelet's lack of taper as a minor drawback. On balance, owners and reviewers acknowledge the Fortis Vagabond V-40's unique charm and solid build but question its value proposition at its price point.
