—————————————————————————————————–
The three-dimensional dial of the new Supermoon by Sarpaneva features two-tone hands, plated in white gold, and comprises a three-part stainless steel structure with a DLC-coated finish. Despite the monochrome effect of the dial, the industrial-like hour markers and the hands provide good legibility.

Propelling those hands around the dial is the modified Soprod A10 Calibre, which Stepan’s moonphase complications are known for. The Swiss automatic movement delivers a 42-hour power reserve and boasts black gold-plated elements, along with traditional cotes de Geneve and perlage decoration.
The white gold moon peeking through the 6 o’clock window is attached to the movement’s stainless steel winding mass. While the gracefully rotating globes show the positionof the moon underneath a montage of sculpted lines and materials, the layers of the dial, which have been painstakingly crafted, look resolutely modern and organic.
There is no Sarpaneva moniker on this dial, a design feature that previously, had been seenon the rear of the sapphire crystal in other models. Still, Sarpaneva chooses sapphire crystal for the front and caseback of the design, complete with anti-reflective treatment to grant a crisp, clear view of the waxing and waning moon.

Lastly, Sarpaneva equips the new Supermoon watch with a leather strap available in various colors. The band secures to the wrist with a stainless steel pin buckle, hallmarked with the Sarpaneva name.
If you want a dressier option, the brand’s stainless steel Moonbridge bracelet, recognized for its distinctive crescent-shaped links, has to be your first choice. This signature bracelet, which fits all 42mm Korona cases, is an instantly identifiable example of the brand’s craftsmanship.
Whether you like the moody, melancholy Nouveau Gothic frown of the moon in this new depiction, or feel this surrealist take on the moonphase is a step too far, you cannot look at this watch without appreciating the Finish brand’s workmanship. This is a timepiece that’s going to garner some attention and guarantee interesting conversation.
Personally, I’m here for it. The moonphase complication is what put Sarpaneva on the map, not to mention the brand’s interesting collaborations with world-renowned comic book artists and illustrators. I’m already crossing my fingers for the next chapter of Sarpaneva’s urban, somewhat eerie, celestial story.
