he wait is over. After three decades of setting the gold standard in space with the iconic B-42 Official Cosmonauts, Fortis presents the Novonaut. This is not just a watch; it‘s an odyssey, a revolution, and a new chapter in space exploration.
The Novonaut is not here to merely measure moments; it‘s engineered to dominate the cosmos. Fuelled by the space-approved Fortis Werk 17, packing a 60-hour power arsenal, this column-wheel chronograph is a relentless machine.
The Novonaut‘s Sirius bezelTM sets a new standard. Made of ceramic, it‘s not just sleek - it‘s virtually unbreakable. Super-LumiNova adds unmatched brightness, making it the ideal companion for any challenge, day or night. Lumicast numerals round out this power-house, keeping you on course no matter where you are.
Limited to 100 pieces globally, the Novonaut dons orange highlights and a unique smoked sapphire crystal case back featuring a rocket.
The model embodies celestial beauty with its cobalt blue dial and polished Sirius bezel.
As a nod to the the model’s origins, the new iteration features a matte ceramic bezel and a matte dial, as the ultimate successor of the famous Official Cosmonauts.
