HIGHLIGHTS:

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT:

Imagine a star several times larger than our Sun, collapsing in less than 15 seconds to mere nothingness. The blinding light of this Supernova explosion is some of the brightest light humans will ever see. The Green fumé dial of this model is inspired by this rare cosmic event.

Fumé dials are a rarity, you'll find yourself peering into this dial often. This fumé pattern starts with a deep-green colour graduating towards the outer edge and turning black. There is also a mild sunray pattern on the dial that makes for excellent light-play on the dial in different lighting conditions, making for an entertaining watch to wear.

The Supernova's case is made of Cerasteel™ - a new material formed by a Unibody case built from high-grade steel, with an outer Ceramic coating. The matte grey of the case maintains the avant-garde design and look of the watch. 

The two steel crowns and a polished steel caseback make the otherwise matte case surface stand out. With a 100M water-tight case and a Swiss automatic movement, the Supernova checks all the boxes for a sporty, casual, and futuristic watch with an incredible backstory from the Indian space program that is sure to be the conversation piece of your group.

With a high-quality oil-pulled leather strap and a high-grade steel buckle with a signed BWC logo, wearing the Supernova becomes easy - night or day!

BACKSTORY OF THIS WATCH:

The foundations of the Indian space program were laid atop bullock carts and bicycles but with huge ambitions. The space program started amidst a harsh economic climate in the late 1960s. In just over fifty years, India is now part of - only a handful of - space-faring nations in the world.

With humble beginnings firing sounding rockets from a fishing village on the west coast of India to sending rockets to Mars from Sriharikota on the east coast of India, the Indian space program remains a constant source of inspiration for a billion people.

An Apogee is the farthest point of a satellite's orbit. With this watch collection, we’ve pushed ourselves to our farthest point - with design, materials, and construction. This is our Apogee.
