Please forgive the cheesy Miles Davis reference in the thread title.
By my count (and to my aging eyes) CW now offers six different shades of blues:
C60 Trident blue
C65 Dartmouth blue
C65 Trident Vintage blue
2 C65 Super Compressor blues
and now C63 Sealander blue
Have I missed any?
Could anyone who has two or more of these watches post a side-by-side, well lit picture of them? Or even better, if someone happens to make a trip to Maidenhead, get a side-by-side of all of them!? I really want to be able to compare the shades of blue.
The super compressor has two shades of blue don’t forget,
Iain’s Law: Any discussion on the Christopher Ward forum, irrespective of the thread title or subject matter, will eventually lead to someone mentioning the Bel Canto if the thread continues for long enough.
It's likely that I will go to the Showroom to compare the tide watch to the Sealander, and maybe other blue dials, but unlikely for maybe a week or two.

These are screen grabs from the wrist shots on the CW website of the Dartmouth and Sealander.
If they used a similar lighting set up for each, then they at least represent a like for like comparison.
They don’t look that different to me.

They look pretty similar to me too... I think it looks kind of flat on the Sealander. Maybe the busier dial of the Dartmouth breaks it up enough to make it seem like a more interesting shade of blue.
