Just had a thought, curious to see the Elite on the wrist of someone with loads of arm hair... an interesting dial view addition :lol:

Think they are all very well executed and attractive watches but the size is a little small for me. I quickly offloaded a 65 GMT as it didn't have the wrist presence I desired so whilst tempted Im sure this will be similar.
I appreciate the technical aspects of the Elite (especially at the price point) but it appeals less than the Auto/GMT for my personal tastes, again the size is a bit small for me.
Great addition to the line-up though and expect them to be a sales success which I really hope they are. Overall great job CW and I look forward to seeing the subsequent variation in colour and versions.

Sizing is also a little on the small side for me but it’s great they do it so those who want those sizes have as good of an option as the 42mm crowd has.

Nothing particular grabs me as “the one” but they are all very nice.

Priced sensibly too. First thing from CW in a good few years I might consider buying which is exciting in itself.

The whole Omega baiting thing seems a bit odd to me. We can make an AT that's 75% as good as yours but for 25% of the price, and we can even give it the same name but anglicised. But then we're not brave enough to deviate far from your design. Perhaps it just doesn't translate well over the medium of the internet and I've misjudged it.

Regardless, wouldn't put me off owning one which I might well do later in the year when a voucher code pops up.
I feel the same way - they released a few that were tempting but never convinced. This is the first time I can say time to tidy up the collection so I can add one of these to it! :thumbup:

I’m generally very impressed. It’s good to see some non-dive options for a change as personally I’m growing tired of just buying yet more divers...

I’ve been looking for a white dial for some time and the basic C63 looks very nice. Very good value on the bracelet and the grey/orange Tide strap also looks a very attractive option. Despite what Adrian B said about altering the hand colour towards grey for more contrast the renders still look very silvery to me. I’ll await some real photos.

The GMT is very nice but a homage; as I’ve just bought a Steinhart Gnomon GMT homage I think that box has been ticked. Now when they release the green version that may possibly be a different story!

I have the 42mm of the Steinhart OV GMT, you will love the 39.

I have placed my order for the C63 Sealander Elite on the titanium bracelet today. I won't get it until June but I'm happy. I think this is a good range of watches for CW to release. I'm less convinced by the #GODO thing but that doesn't bother me in the least. I'm looking forward to having the C63 Elite on my wrist.
I've also ordered an Elite on the bracelet. I'm less patient than you but I guess I'll be ok with the wait. :D

^^^ The Elite is the one that most interests me. Might book a showroom visit to check it out.

No interest in the GMT; I will stick with the real deal, rather than the homage.

Might also look at the white dial auto as well.

Overall three impressive releases from CW. The only time in the past few years that CW have released a number of watches and I have thought - yep I like them all (albeit no interest in buying the GMT). :thumbup:

I really fancy the elite and probably on the fabric to really take advantage of the superlight watch that appeals so much. Will probably have to sell the sandhurst to make it work but I think it will be worth it. For me it ticks a lot of boxes.

I like them all to be honest, a great move from CW and I am sure one will make its way into my collection in the coming months/years.

I am a huge fan of the simple, but great looking 3 and 4 hander sport watches, although the GMT does sail a little close to the one from the big crown.

I particularly like the tongue in cheek puns that go with these:

Sea Lander!! a funny play on the model that is made by a certain brand whose moniker is the last letter of the Greek alphabet? otherwise could be " water lander" or "ocean earth"

#GODO - or as the WIS folk call it GADA??

There are not many horological jokes you can make but these do tickle me a bit and show CW is in touch with the watch community.
