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.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
