Bremont to send a watch to the Moon's surface

Bremont will attach its Supernova Chronograph to Astrolab’s FLIP lunar rover when the rover is deposited on the Moon later this year, and the watch is the first reference in Bremont’s new space‑inspired collection.

Bremont will attach a Supernova Chronograph to the Flex Lunar Innovation Platform (FLIP), a lunar rover built by California-based startup Astrolab, when the rover is deposited on the Moon later this year. The Supernova is the first reference in Bremont’s newly announced space‑inspired collection. It is a 41-mm sports chronograph in 904L stainless steel with an integrated bracelet and a three-dimensional perforated dial over a layer of blue-emission Super-LumiNova. Bremont is now owned by investor Bill Ackman, and the placement follows a history of watchmakers linking products to crewed space missions. Key details: - The Supernova Chronograph will be attached to the chassis of Astrolab’s FLIP lunar rover for its planned lunar deployment later this year. - The watch is described as a 41-mm integrated-bracelet sports chronograph in 904L stainless steel with a perforated dial and blue-emission Super-LumiNova. - The piece is presented as the inaugural reference of Bremont’s new space-inspired collection. - Bremont is identified in reports as being owned by Bill Ackman. - The article notes other recent space-related watch activity, including Artemis II crew use of Omega’s Speedmaster X-33 and a Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute release. Summary: The planned attachment of a Bremont watch to the FLIP rover places a branded timepiece among the payloads scheduled for an upcoming lunar delivery and continues the longstanding link between watchmakers and space missions. The rover is scheduled to be deposited on the Moon later this year, and what will happen to the watch after landing is undetermined at this time.
