The Fliegers have all been available in a 34 mm case, also versions with a white dial, there was even a 35 mm chrono.

Today I received the new complete Hong Kong price lists.
When looking at these lists, there might even be some left over stock (increased price make me assume they still have some) of the following "ladies size" models:

34 mm Flieger Cockpit black dial
34 mm Flieger GMT black dial
34 mm Flieger 24H black (oh, surprise!)
35 mm Flieger chrono white dial


Remark in smallprint:
:( The increased price was a hard hit for the non B-42 models - some of the Flieger and Pilot Pro went up by +75%
(The argement was that ETA more than doubled the prices for the 7750, 2824 and 2836 - the 2893 went up by 50% only. So Fortis in Switzerland decided to seriously increase the prices, this shall be done by the local distributions together with the market inroduction of the full range of 2007 new models).

;) The market introduction of the new models here was a complete blooper: General price increase valid July 1st, price lists for the new models have been out on June 18, availability was announced for July 3.
To my knowledge the shipment that should have the new models arrived on June 28 or June 29 - but only well known watches inside... - now the hopes are for early August.
