Did CWL misread the watch numbers on the voting forum?
I clearly see a C8 Pilot as a choice with 31% of the votes but I do not see the C9 anywhere.
What happened to the c8 as an option, it is clear that a majority of voters are not interested in a
C9 Unitas.
Who else would like to see a C8pilot option?

Not me. As a design the C8 aviator has nowhere to go IMHO. Maybe a chrono but not much else and that's probably out on cost.

The C9 has replaced the C8 as the basis for a hand-wound Unitas/Roman dial, presumably as it would offer an easier/lower cost conversion.

I don't think a pilot LE was ever on the cards.

What seems to be a key aesthetic of the LE's is the pleasant blue/light blue and white combinations that are unique and very attractive.

Could we see more of this colour scheme in the designs? Perhaps instead of bringing yellow/gold into the equation?

I've only just found this discussion but would like to add that I agree that the face is too large to look good without a minute track.It would be nice if it could come in 2 case sizes,40mm for those of us who dislike/can't wear 44mm and the bigger caser for those who do like them and wear them
I like all the styles,with a slight preference for D,and I love the blue face.
