Frequently asked questions

Is the Vortic Rockford nickel-free?

No. The caseback is steel, and steel carries nickel, so the guide does not list it as nickel-free.

What grade of titanium is the Vortic Rockford?

Titanium, with no grade stated. The caseback is steel, not titanium. The record is at medium confidence, so check the maker's page before relying on it.

What size is the Vortic Rockford?

The case is 47 mm across, 12 mm thick and 55 mm from lug to lug. It is water resistant to 10 m.

How much does the Vortic Rockford cost, and is it available?

It is in production, but the maker does not publish a price.
