There has been mention of a 4th line of watches to be joining the stable

C60 trident
C63 Sealander
C65 Aquitaine

What are thoughts on the next line?
Motorsport?
Pilot?
Dress?

Digital?
On a more serious note, CW’s recent new sponsoring of a different car racing team might open things up for that being their new motorsport line?
Also, do they really have a dress watch “lime” at the moment? Sure, they have several more dressy models, but is this really a full lime?
Keep well

Is it not the case that Dive, Motorsports, Pilot and Dress are 'ranges' within the overall CW Collection and the 'lines' of;-

C60 Trident
C63 Sealander
C65 Aquitaine

. . .are within the dive range?

Therefore 4th 'line' C67 Deep Sea, perhaps?

I would hope that they have a different handset different from the c60, C63 and new c65 which all share the same hands now...

I would like to see some more formal or dressier offerings as I always thought these were some of CW's best work.
However, I doubt they would sell as well as divers, chronographs, aviation and motorsport themed models.
We might see another example of democratising 'higher-end' features such as the pop-out crown - C9 tourbillion anyone?

I was thinking along these same lines. Also, Mike France has been talking a lot about innovation and pushing boundaries. How much room for that is available with a pilot watch or a dress watch? I think there’s quite a bit of room to play around with with a motorsport line.

We’ll have to wait and see.

here's hoping for a triple split

My thoughts lead to dress or Motorsport with the mention of the repeater in a previous Loupe

There are some subtle differences with the Aquitaine handset; the minute hand has a taper to it and they don't have the hard bevelling of the other ranges.

The hour hand has a slight curve at the base too. I like the new handset. I think it looks great. I also think it goes with the vintage vibe better than the other set.

I totally agree with your first sentence. I also agree with your second sentence, which is the nub of the argument. My box is now probably more replete with good things than it has ever been, so even if something along formal or dressy lines were produced I might well not go for it, so I can’t really advocate it.

I think a tourbillon might be something of a pipe dream at the moment.

Cool. Thanks. Would be lovely to see in the metal!
