Fortis Novoanut N-42 Halo Edition Automatic – F2040021

The FORTIS Novonaut N-42 Halo Black Edition delivers bold contrast, exceptional luminescence, and advanced chronograph engineering in a striking 42mm timepiece. Crafted from recycled stainless steel, its robust case frames a dial made entirely from Lumicast® X1, with contrasting black chronograph subdials creating a distinctive panda-style layout. In daylight, the design offers crisp definition and excellent legibility; after dark, the luminous dial and bidirectional ceramic Sirius bezel enhanced with Super-LumiNova® X1 produce an extraordinary blue glow. Metallic hands filled with Super-LumiNova® X1 further enhance visibility, making this one of the most luminous watches in the FORTIS collection. At its heart, the automatic FORTIS Werk 17 TR manufacture Caliber combines a column-wheel chronograph and day-date display with an impressive 70-hour power reserve. Its free-sprung variable-inertia regulation system allows precise rate adjustment through mass screws on the balance wheel, while a two-point balance bridge enhances stability against shocks and vibration. Building on a movement tested in the stratosphere and during a rocket mission with the Swedish Space Corporation, the Werk 17 TR reflects FORTIS’ commitment to performance-driven innovation. The watch offers 200-meter water resistance, a screw-down crown with a triple-gasket system, quickset pushers, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. A smoked sapphire caseback featuring a rocket detail adds a distinctive finishing touch. Completing the design is a black hybrid strap that combines durable textile on the exterior with comfortable FKM rubber underneath, secured by a stainless steel pin buckle and screw-pin attachment system. Powerful, purposeful, and unmistakably modern, the FORTIS Novonaut Halo Black is built to make an impression in any light.
