Have you ever been to space? This watch has. It’s one of only thirteen watches that have seen the world from space. Together with the Swedish Space Center, Fortis tested thirteen Supernova Gold watches on a sounding rocket in space. For Fortis, the main test was to see if the watches would survive the immense vibrations and g-forces of takeoff; anything after that would be a walk in the park. Successfully doing so, these watches are now a unique part of space history, and through First Class Watches, the opportunity to purchase 1 of the 13 is yours.

Available upon application only, this watch is rocket-flown and space-approved. A true work of art, its clean White Dust Supernova dial exhibits Gold SuperLuminova lines and markings for measuring elapsed space travel times. The dial also features luminous brushed framed hour and minute hands, a luminous second hand a shaped minute counter hand. A weekday and date aperture, in Berlac Fluor Orange, features at the 3 o’clock position. For optimal clarity, a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on both sides of the glass, frames the dial.
Made from recycled stainless steel, and with a solid 18k gold piece running through it, a flat fixed Orbit bezel frames the dial. A recycled stainless steel, Supernova-Gold case also frames the dial. It measures 41mm in diameter and houses the out-of-this-world Werk 17 calibre; a Column Wheel Manufacture Chronograph movement with a 60-hour power reserve. The smoked sapphire case back allows the wearer to observe this movement. And for an added touch, a spaceship engraving features on the see-through window. As mentioned prior, this watch has been space-tested. Thanks to its screw down crown, with a triple gasket system, it can withstand an impressive space resistance of 200 metres (600ft / 20 atm).
