What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Bremont Supernova

The Bremont Supernova is praised for its new ENG375 movement, big date, and power reserve indicator, with its 40mm steel case featuring mixed finishing and an integrated bracelet. Owners note good but not great lume, well-balanced proportions, and a premium feel for its price, despite a 173-gram weight. Some community members find the design derivative and the £8,000 price tag overly optimistic, with mixed views on the date window and crown guard. The proprietary Trip-Tick case construction offers shock protection, and the movement provides a 65-hour power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the integrated bracelet and proprietary movement as key strengths of the Bremont Supernova.

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02 is a 39.5mm stainless steel tool watch featuring a unique, layered aluminum "ghost dial" for legibility and 200m water resistance, powered by a Sellita SW300 movement. Its appeal is limited by a US$2,550 price and an extremely limited production of 20 pieces, with its experimental dial construction done in Chicago. Overall, reviewers highlight the endearing dial and in-house bezel production as key features of the Oak & Oscar Humboldt ExP-02.
