Strap for Novonaut N-42 Legacy Edition / Block Bracelet

The lug width of the Fortis Novonaut F2040008 is 22 millimetres. This width is standard for mid-to-large sports chronographs and accommodates a wide range of aftermarket straps in leather, rubber and fabric.

We recommend an alligator or Tuscan calf leather strap with vegetable tanning for the Novonaut, which enhances the elegance of the ceramic case. For a sportier aesthetic, a nylon technical NATO strap or a rubber strap are excellent choices for outdoor and professional contexts.

To change the strap, remove the watch from your wrist and use a spring bar removal tool. Gently insert the bifurcated tip into the slots on either side of the lugs, lift the pin and slide out the old strap. Position the new strap ensuring both sides are secured correctly. The operation takes just a few minutes and requires no watchmaking expertise.

Yes, all straps with a 22mm lug width are compatible with the Novonaut F2040008. Milanostraps offers a comprehensive selection of leather, alligator, calf, NATO and rubber models, all available with rapid delivery and fully customisable to your aesthetic preferences.

A high-quality leather strap, especially one made with vegetable tanning, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Longevity depends on exposure to moisture, sweat and maintenance. Treatment with leather-specific creams and proper drying after prolonged exposure significantly extends the strap's lifespan.
