The **Official Cosmonauts Chronograph** is a wristwatch by [[Fortis]].

From this space [[chronograph]] by and by the whole [[Official Cosmonauts]] model range has been developed.

Since the beginning of the European-Russian space mission [[1994]], for the cosmonauts and astronauts an extraordinary ceremony takes place before their start into orbit. Because of its reliability, the crew receives the [[Fortis]] [[automatic]] [[chronograph]] as an official piece of equipment. The [[automatic]] [[chronograph]] movement is wound by the kinetic energy of the bearer and so ensures the independence of battery power - a mechanism that allows a precise measurement of time in emergency situations. With the embossing of their official emblems on the caseback, the Russian Space Agency and the Training Center //Star City// confirm the good quality of the [[chronograph]]s.
