What to know
Fortis has added three Halo editions to the Novonaut N-42 family, distinguished by a fully luminous Lumicast X1 dial base and contrasting black, blue or green chronograph counters. Matching ceramic Sirius bezels and hybrid rubber-and-textile straps reinforce the colour theme, while the brushed recycled-steel case retains its 42mm diameter and 200-metre water-resistance rating.
The automatic column-wheel Werk 17 TR extends power reserve to 70 hours. Fortis describes a free-sprung, variable-inertia balance and a two-point balance bridge intended to improve stability under vibration and impact. The watches also offer day and date displays. The Halo Blue reference F2040022 is listed as newly available at CHF 5,450, alongside Black and Green versions.
