New models...

Post by alanrolfe01 »

Love the black silhouette, I hope the orange, that was seen for sale as a prototype, follows. I'm not a fan of GMT's so the Worldglow is a pass for me.

Using the JJ03 in the Worldglow provides hope for more SH21's following the recent Abyss SH21 or other exciting movements following the Sellita SW510 in the C60 Chronograph.

CW's range shouldn't be dependant on the mechanical inconsistancies of the Sellita 200's.

I think my favourite would be the C60 sapphire blue on blue limited edition, although it's a shame it doesn't have a display back.

There’s nothing (yet) for me in the new releases.

The C1 and Black Sapphire are to be admired for their overall innovation and technical aspects plus the case, movement and boldness of the design but neither suits my tastes and I do wonder about the size of the C1 at 43.5mm.

What did grab my interest though was the description of the potential C60 Sealander on page 10 of Loupe. Not overly thick, relatively restrained dial, bright white raised indexes and the possibility that “the infamous logo” (CW's words not mine) could be positioned at 12. No mention of case size or WR but hopefully it’d be 40mm, if based on the Trident 3, with max 600m WR or maybe an alternative would be the 41mm C65 case to make it less of another diver styled watch.

I’ve been looking at those drawings as well. My interpretation is that it’s a smooth bezel with internal 5, 10, 15 numbers on an internal rehaut. It indicates the C60 handset so I’d assume the C60 case, possibly in 40mm? as a 42mm non-dive watch would be enormous. There doesn’t appear to be a date window at 3 so it’s either no-date or date at 6?

CW seem to be evolving their branding on recently announced models whereby on plain(ish) dials with a date window at 3 the logo is opposite at 9 for balance; for other models that are either no-date or have sub-dials/complications then the logo has moved to 12. This suggests to me that it’ll potentially be the latter for this model.

It now just leaves CW with the quandary of what to do about having the name of a former director on their dials, particularly as he’s involved to some extent with an newly emerging brand that must be regarded as a potential competitor...

I like the C60 Black, as the blue of the original sapphire didn't really do much for me, but it's a shame they didn't keep the orange indexes from the blue C60 Sapphire and just changed the sapphire from blue to black, instead they made it red. Below is my quick attempt at how it would look alongside the other two, I would have been interested.

Sorry, but I don't understand this. What inconsistencies?

Having already got the blue in my stable, Ive just ordered the black. I think it looks quite striking.
Coupled with a £100 voucher it was a no brainer for me as I love my sapphire!

I cant remember the lucky lucky ****** that picked up the orange prototype, but if he reads this and EVER wants or needs to sell, there will be cash waiting in sunny Bolton...!!!

(Yes im aware theres more chance of having a snowball fight in the desert with Lord Lucan but one can but dream) :lol:

The guy that picked up the orange sapphire prototype frequents the Christopher Ward Aficionados Facebook page, maybe the enthusiasts one too? He just posted a bunch of pics of it a few days ago, and it does look stunning. He looks like he really likes it, sadly for you :( but it never hurts to drop him a message about buying it! I’ve definitely thought about it!

Thanks for the heads up mate it appreciated. Im not on any social media though. Too many nutters, ex's, and ex-nutters for my liking...!!!

It was a bad idea being on social media when I was a cop and since then ive just never bothered with it.

Im sure it'll pop up on here again. I'll trawl the sale thread for a while over a jack & coke and find it! It'll be a lost cause anyway but it would be nice to have all 3!

The guy is apparently a forum member and posted pics on page 36 of 50-something in the sale thread - Richard posted a link above!
