Fortis Novonaut men's watches

The legend is back. These words perfectly describe the models of the Novonaut series. This is because it is the successor of the iconic Official Cosmonauts model, which is well known to every fan of the Fortis brand. Novonaut brings a continuation of the Fortis space odyssey in the form of improved features and, last but not least, an attractive design in the spirit of the original Official Cosmonauts.

The foundations of Fortis' journey into space were laid already in 1961, when the founder's son Rolf Vogt showed the Fortis Spacematic AR (All Risks) watch to NASA astronauts. It wasn't until 1994 that the Official Cosmonauts Chronograph model looked into open space in preparation for the historic connection of the American space shuttle Atlantis with the Russian MIR station, which started a 25-year collaboration with the space agency Roskosmos. Fortis is currently working with the Austrian Space Forum as the official timekeeper for the AMADEE Mars Mission simulation. Since 2021, the Swedish Space Corporation has become an official partner of Fortis in the testing and development of pure Fortis space watches, where the stratospheric and space tests of the Werk 17 movement will be of particular interest.
