I believe the target was 599 GBP. Not sure if this is 100% accurate, but should be close.

That is a very good step for Mr CW. A very elegant watch and if it is £599 an excellent price for a COSC cert auto.

Very well done Sir.

£599 would be very good... but does that include VAT?

Gotta say, excited to see this. Probably won't bother getting one because my good ol' regular C5 is enough for me, but it's good to see the quintessential CW model get the COSC.

With current exchange the price for N America would bearound $840 shipped. A temendous price for a COSC automatic dress watch. More than I plan on spending, as I don't wear them very often, and I already have a C3, and 2 vintage pieces that pull dress watch duty. I predict that this will be a success, and will open the door for more COSC watches in the future. I think a COSC line will open up a whole new group of customers for CWL. I think a COSC Trident would attract that certain segment that wear higher end divers.

Agree with that. Although I am not a massive fan of gold watches, black and gold on black leather/alligator would look marvellous :D

I have a 7.5" wrist and the 38mm size looks OK on it as the dial is quite large with very little bezel so 39mm should be fine. I am less keen on the square as the round date window to go with the round shaped dial and inner dial is a great look.

I think if this model does well we may see some more COSC options in the future. :D
