The short answer
The closest alternative to the Fortis Novonaut N-42 is the Bremont Supermarine Chrono ($6,850) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Marathon Jeep Rubicon TSAR at $1,650 (vs $5,230 for the Novonaut N-42) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Micromilspec Milgraph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Blancpain Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback ($22,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
