It's out now.

I really like them both. the Trident against the wavers is a nice Britannia touch that gives the watch its own identity - even though the bezel is very Rolex like, the face very Seamaster like and the hands are similar to Bremont.

I think I may need to get a GMT - after all it;s hard to travel without one, right....

I get the feeling that this is a watch that i really can't decide about unless i am holding it.

Also,i wouldn't personally worry about design similarities.....it's very rare to find a watch these days that is totally 100% original. Pretty much all watches pick up design cues from other brands and iconic models-as in many other products. The secret is in putting your own 'twist' on it imho.

A lot will depend on the exact colours of the GMT. But I like the design heaps.

British take on a classic .........the wavy guillauche (a la Omega Seamaster) works brilliantly with the Trident second hand.

I don't like them anymore.
The date is horrible on that spot.
Too bad there's no option weither you want a date or not.
I will never buy a watch with the date on this spot.
It just always looks out of place.

The Trident seems to be wearing the same old C4-C6 bracelet?
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Yes - and I gather that is not a good thing

Don't worry me - It'll go on a NATO anyway :lol:


Actually - this could be the chance for CW to revisit his bracelets - he was thinking of that wasn't he?

Agree with most others - have an orange 3 o clock marker - and do you need to set of indicies (face and bezel) ?

You will find that it was only ever made as an automatic.

This thread is older than the one Ariadne gave to Theseus!

In fact, the Trident probably belonged to Poseidon! :devil:
