Description: FORTIS LIMITED NATO TIGERS FLIEGER CLASSIC PILOT PROFESSIONAL AUTOMATIC 595.10.46.1 SWISS Item Description This is a special edition of the Fortis Flieger Classic featuring the iconic NATO Tigers logo. It was produced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the brand. The Tiger Meet is an event where air force units from NATO countries with the nickname "Tiger" come together to showcase their flying skills. The aircraft belonging to these units are adorned with creative tiger paintings. Since the foundation of the NATO Tiger Association in the 1960s, pilots have gathered annually for the "Tiger Meet" to perform military maneuvers. In 2004, the NATO Tiger Meet was held in Germany, hosted by the Immelmann 51st Reconnaissance Squadron to commemorate its 10th anniversary. Numerous tiger flying units from countries such as the United States, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Switzerland participated. The event took place using AG51 aircraft. Since AG51's logo features a black panther, they were allowed to participate in the Tiger Meet. During the 2004 Tiger Meet, Captain Stritter created a badge for the event, and its logo became the dial design for this special model.
