Speculation on C60 Mk4 release
Curious to hear speculation as to when CW may be releasing the Mk4 series of the C60 divers. Any discussion of potential changes from the Mk3 version would also be welcome.

Re: Speculation on C60 Mk4 release
Mark 1: 2009-2015 = 6 years
Mark 2: 2015-2019 = 4 years
Mark 3: 2019-? = ?
Anyone's guess of course, but the Mark 3 has been extremely popular, so I would not be inclined to expect any significant changes in the near future.
And yes, it's a perfectly valid subject as far as I can see.

Re: Speculation on C60 Mk4 release
I think they should stick with the 3 as their signature case style. Established brands, which CW wants to be do not constantly trot out completely new cases routinely. What I would like to see is the bracelet upgraded to match. I think a bevel on the outside of the links with polish like the Monta would go a long way in giving it a more upscale feel as well as harmony with the case design. I'd upload a picture but Tapatalk hates me.

Re: Speculation on C60 Mk4 release
Everything we’ve heard from the company is that the C60 Mk3 has been a huge success, so even ignoring the fact that it is relatively new, I’d be surprised if they changed a winning formula.
I could imagine that there may be some tweaks perhaps in terms of dial layout or finishing (), but nothing that would justify a full figure version increment.

Re: Speculation on C60 Mk4 release
I know that I've said this before, but I do think that one of the things the brand now needs to aim for is model longevity.

However, I think the Mk3 is safe for now!

Re: Speculation on C60 Mk4 release
Maybe small tweaks like polishing the sides of the links on the bracelet (but not the center links! ) and new color options on the ceramic bezels. Also adding half links to the bracelet.

Re: Speculation on C60 Mk4 release
My guesses are these: applied/visible flags logo at 12 o'clock, half links for the bracelet and screws instead of pins. And a new colorway or two.

Green ceramic bezel and wave sapphire dial would be awesome.

Re: Speculation on C60 Mk4 release
Purely a guess, but I'd say 2025 for a Mk release. Since the C60 is their best selling model, the CW 20th Anniversary seems like an obvious opportunity to release a new C60 (with the requisite 20th Anniversary LE).

Re: Speculation on C60 Mk4 release
What I’m totally ready to see is some C60 mk3 specials!
I’m thinking SH21 movements, some racy colour ways and maybe a fixed bezel sporty one.
Oh also a slightly less expensive titanium version would be nice too with SW200 and 600m WR to keep it affordable for the masses.
Given the development costs and the almost unanimous praise for the mk3 I’d say were some years off a totally new model.
Maybe a mk3.5 like they did with the mk2, but no mk4.

Re: Speculation on C60 Mk4 release
Agree that it's too soon for a Mk4.
How about a Mk3 batch (not black dial) with the logo at 12 o'clock to see how well they sell.
OR a white dial with black edged hands (and logo at 12).

^^^Are you SURE the logo at 12 is a good idea?
