Bremont Supernova Chronograph: Time, Space, and the Moon
There’s something about the Moon that never really lets go of our imagination. Maybe it’s the sense of distance. Maybe it’s the history. Or maybe it’s moments like the recent success of Artemis II, a mission that has once again brought space travel back into everyday conversation. And just as the world looks up, watchmaking quietly follows. At this year’s Watches & Wonders 2026, the Bremont Supernova Chronograph stood out as a piece that feels perfectly aligned with this moment, defined as much by its journey as its design.
A Watch with Somewhere to Be
Most watches are inspired by adventure but only few are actually part of it.
The Bremont Supernova Chronograph isn’t just influenced by space, it’s heading there. Set to travel aboard a lunar mission, it will remain on the Moon’s surface as a permanent marker of exploration. Left behind as a quiet reminder of progress and human achievement.
It is a different way of thinking about a watch. It is less about telling time, and more about capturing a moment in history.
Designed with Space in Mind
That story carries through every detail of the watch.
The Bremont Supernova Chronograph features a 41mm case crafted from 904L stainless steel, a material carefully chosen for its strength, durability, and refined finish. It gives the watch a solid, confident feel, while also ensuring it can withstand extreme conditions far beyond Earth.
The design itself feels architectural. A multi faceted black ceramic bezel frames the dial, adding depth and structure without overwhelming it.
Look closer, and the dial reveals even more. Its layered construction and perforated grid pattern are inspired by spacecraft solar panels, allowing light to pass through and create a subtle glow in darker settings. Luminous details on the hands, indexes, and sub dials ensure clarity, while a date display at 6 o’clock and a tachymeter scale add everyday functionality.
It’s not trying to replicate space. It simply reflects it.
Built for More Than Just the Journey
Inside, the Bremont Supernova Chronograph is powered by a chronometer-rated automatic movement, offering precision within -4 to +6 seconds per day and a power reserve of approximately 62 hours.
Even with its storytelling, this remains a serious piece of watchmaking, built with the same attention and discipline as any high performance chronograph.
A Moment That Feels Bigger Than Time
Space exploration and watchmaking have always been connected, but right now that relationship feels especially present in everyday culture.
At the same time, Bremont is stepping into its own chapter. In collaboration with Astrolab, the Bremont Supernova Chronograph will travel aboard the FLIP rover to the Moon’s south pole as part of the Griffin-1 mission, where it will remain permanently on the lunar surface.
For the mission itself, the piece will travel as a “watch head”, secured to the rover in a specially designed housing. On Earth, it is designed to be worn. Available on either a stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap, both with quick release functionality for versatility.
A Story Worth Watching
As space exploration returns to the spotlight, the Bremont Supernova Chronograph feels especially timely, a piece that reflects both innovation and modern watchmaking at its most expressive.
The Bremont Supernova Chronograph is soon coming to Weir & Sons, where our team can guide you through the latest Bremont arrivals and upcoming releases.
Some watches are made to be worn. Others are made to be remembered.
The Bremont Supernova Chronograph will be both.
