C60 Aero Ti

Post by Noush »

Teased in Loupe 19 for (English) Spring '21. Umm, it's Spring '21 :)
What we know is it's a 40mm C60 although the case is different. Not sure how that is then a C60 but whatever....I guess 600m WR then.
It's a Titanium case at that and it has a chronometer inside with a skeletonised holder/ display case-back.
So far CW has my attention. But I want to see its face.

Now I'm guessing a COSC-grade SW-200 is what's on offer, and I have such a movement in another watch, and nought wrong with that, oh no.
But gosh can they do an SH21 in this case and will they, perhaps as an LE?
I think the Aero Lightweight with SH21/ heavy duty power reserve would make some sort of watch!

Am I alone in this fantasy and what are the chances?

Spring doesn't start for another 9 days, and ends in 102 days. CW still has lots of time.

I also seem to recall something about a pop out crown......

In terms of timelines, there are often new releases which overlap with the Voucher, so I suspect a new model (may not be the Aero, of course) before the month is out

yes indeed, they are calling it "integrated".
In this part of the world we call the change of seasons @ March 1, although here it is Autumn/Fall.

I'd really like to see this one, has me intrigued. My trigger finger has been itchy on the Sapphire Black (and there's a deal), would like to see which way to jump :)

@noush. The black sapphire is on my radar too but I'm interested in the Aero and Sealander (if it makes it to production). Will wait and see. Hopefully we should see a new release in the next few weeks

The Aero has been on my mind too since the teaser. If it has the SH21 then forget it, I’m hitting that “buy” button faster than 2 winks of a coal miner’s eye.

I just had another look at the Aero teaser in the Loupe. It’s even more appealing than I remember. That said, with the spec, I’m imagining it to be in the £1500 - £1800 price bracket.......

Could anyone direct me to the Aero teaser? I must have missed it in Loupe! What do we think this titanium watch will look like?

As stated in the opening post in this topic.

Loupe 19 may be found in the CWArchive.

CW has my attention too. And I would be delighted with a COSC-grade SW-200 (Sellita has got to be easier to get serviced than an in-house movement). When do we see its face, do you think?

Crucially, I want a firm bezel action with no play in it. If only CW would take a leaf out of Damasko's bezel book: https://www.damaskowatchtechnology.com/ ... -bezel.php

The teaser kind of makes it look like it will be a fixed bezel.

Something like the massively impressive and massively priced omega gamma titanium aqua terra ultralight maybe?

Looks to me as if they are revisiting the C7 Rapide (Day/Date COSC LE and Chronograph) case designs from 2017/18.
