The Novonaut N-42 Halo Editions are described as Fortis's brightest watches ever, offering full contrast day and night due to the Lumicast X1 dial base.
The collection evolves from the B-42 Official Cosmonauts chronograph, which was part of the standard equipment for Cosmonauts cooperating with Roscosmos.
The case is brushed, weighs 115 grams (head only), and features a screw-down crown with a triple-gasket system.
The bi-directional bezel, named 'Sirius Bezel', has a fully luminous 60-minute track and is available with a polished blue, green, or black ceramic insert.
The upgraded Calibre Werk 17 TR movement is a column-wheel chronograph based on the Valjoux 7750, featuring enhanced shock resistance, a free-sprung variable inertia balance, and a two-point secured balance bridge.
Available in black, blue, or green variants, each with a colour-matched hybrid strap and steel pin buckle.
