The world of dive watches is constantly evolving, but rarely with such a clear technical leap as the one presented by Fortis with its new Marinemaster M-44 DLC. This release not only introduces a new aesthetic, but also redefines durability within the collection thanks to the incorporation of the Dianoir Diamond Like Carbon coating.
Presented in two versions, Gravity Black and Black Resin, this model represents the most robust and technical interpretation of the Marinemaster to date.
44 mm case with Dianoir DLC coating of 4,500 Vickers 20 times harder than steel
For the first time in the history of the Marinemaster, the case receives a full Diamond Like Carbon DLC coating. Fortis uses its proprietary Dianoir treatment, reaching an approximate hardness of 4,500 Vickers, which is equivalent to around twenty times the hardness of conventional stainless steel.
The result is a surface highly resistant to scratches, wear, and corrosion.
This level of protection turns the M-44 DLC into a tool designed not only to withstand extreme conditions, but also to maintain its aesthetic integrity over time.
Water resistance of 500 meters a true professional diving instrument
The Marinemaster M-44 DLC maintains one of the fundamental pillars of the collection, its impressive water resistance of up to 500 meters.
This capability firmly positions it within the segment of professional dive watches, prepared for technical dives, high pressure environments, and intensive use in adverse conditions.
Beyond its performance underwater, this robustness also translates into total reliability in everyday use.
Fortis manufacture calibre Werk 11 with 70 hours of power reserve and COSC certification
At the heart of the M-44 DLC is the Fortis Werk 11 calibre, developed in collaboration with Kenissi, one of the most respected movement manufacturers in the industry.
This automatic movement offers 70 hours of power reserve, COSC certification as an official chronometer, variable inertia regulation, and an oversized bridge with double fixation that improves stability and resistance to impacts.
The result is a movement designed to deliver consistent precision even under demanding conditions.
Anthracite black design immediate legibility and absolute functionality
Both versions, Gravity Black and Black Resin, share a minimalist anthracite black aesthetic that emphasizes their instrumental character.
Each design element serves a clear purpose. Legibility is immediate. Functionality is precise. There are no superfluous elements.
The approach is direct, maximum visual and operational efficiency both underwater and in everyday life.
Marinemaster M-44 DLC the most robust diver in the history of Fortis
With this release, Fortis not only expands its collection, but also sets a new standard within its own Marinemaster line.
The M-44 DLC combines advanced engineering, cutting edge materials, and a function driven design.
It is a watch created for those who demand real performance, whether at 500 meters below sea level or in everyday challenges.
A natural evolution extreme performance in and out of the water
The Marinemaster has always been synonymous with reliability, but this new iteration pushes that concept further than ever. The use of the Dianoir DLC coating, together with the Werk 11 calibre and its reinforced architecture, turns the M-44 DLC into a piece that goes beyond the tool category to become a technical reference.
Because in the end, this watch is not only built to withstand extreme conditions, but to surpass them.
