Bremont SupernovavsLinde Werdelin Oktopus Moon Gold Black Ink

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.

The Linde Werdelin Oktopus Moon Gold Black Ink is noted for its cohesive and impressive design, featuring a photorealistic moon phase display. Reviewers highlight the three-layer skeletonized dial with Côtes de Genève finishing on the lower dial, and the moon phase is visible in the dark. However, the rose gold accents on the dial and hands are considered suboptimal for low-light readability, and the crown guards are described as significantly sharp. The Oktopus II Moon Gold is priced at CHF 27,000 (ex VAT). On balance, reviewers praise the Oktopus Moon Gold Black Ink for its striking design and detailed dial work, tempered by concerns over low-light legibility and sharp crown guards.
