Bremont SupernovavsKobold Soarway Diver Safari

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.

Owners report recurring issues with the Kobold Soarway Diver Safari, including instances where the watch stops when the second hand contacts the minute hand, a problem that persisted even after warranty replacements and servicing. One owner noted their Safari, featuring a sand-colored DLC coating, runs and keeps time perfectly with its ETA 2892-2 movement. On balance, owners have experienced significant reliability concerns with the Kobold Soarway Diver Safari, despite one report of perfect timekeeping.
