C8 UTC Worldtimer
I have manged to acquire some photos of the "Coming Soon" C8 UTC Worldtimer.
Not much info regarding specs, but I believe this to have the ETA 2893 movement and that the case will be available in SS or DLC.

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
My first reaction. Odd crown decoration. Nothing like those I recall from the chat download and nothing like the new CW +X flags logo/image.

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
As mentioned on the chat, I'd be all over this if it weren't for that logo. Oh well, saving myself some pennies

Same here, I would be waiting in line for one as I think this is the most interesting design for a good while, the multi layer dial and detailing is lovely...... only one thing ruins it , which kills any interest in it or anything else they bring out.
Just waiting for Brand IV to come around to see if it rekindles any desire.

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
I like it more than when it was shown at the chat. The detailing looks good, the semi-sandwich dial is clever, but I hate those hands and an interesting point made about the crown décor. But as others have said, the logo and it's position is a deal breaker. So based on what we can see, it's gets a, 'so near but so far', verdict from me.

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
I think this is a strong design and the watch looks "quality". It may tempt me, although I believe it's the 44mm case, which in all honesty wears a bit large on my wrists.

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
I was able to handle a prototype of this when I went to CW Towers. I thought it was lovely, would certainly consider buying one.
There's always time for one more.

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
I do like this as well, although the crown decor is puzzling. I think this will wear a bit smaller than previous 44mm by CW due to the bezel.
Did you try it on Paul?

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
I'm liking that a lot, especially with dark face with vintage lume. Be interesting to see the price point.

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
Of the three new watches, D type, Zagato and this, this is is only one to tempt me. Not into scrap metal watches and the D type and Zagato are just dull watches. This I like and am not too bothered by the new branding. Worryingly it looks less appealing on the wrist. Guess need to be up close to appreciate the dial.

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
Definitely the best of the new watches.
However, there are elements like the GMT hand that put me off.

Re: C8 UTC Worldtimer
If this was a woman I'd definitely not kick it out of bed. However, I don't want to settle down with it as the one either. So it is so close yet misses the mark. Maybe if it had a sister?
