Definitely merits a "WOW".

They look really good. Missed opportunity having the rubber straps with straight ends. Fitted ends would elevate it I think. Color matched date wheels are really good. I like the shark white better than the reef blue but that is just me. Nothing wrong with the blue. I'm still going to keep my powder dry for the C60 MK4 I think. :thumbup:

EDIT TO ADD: I think it was a smart move to have a different blue dial from the previously released Atoll.

2nd EDIT: Good move showing people using the watch for the intended activity in the promo video. Your watch should inspire you to get out there and get after it! :thumbup:

Disappointed it's only available in 40mm, if they had it in 42mm I'd have been tempted by that reef blue.

Sadly no good for me at 40mm.

Lug width too small to take my 300 bracelet.

Would’ve snapped a 42mm model up, probably the Reef Blue.

Well?

I can live with 40mm, as I have a Bespoke 42mm C60 Trident Pro 300 on pre-order for September. :wink: :wink:

It's Shark White on bracelet for me. :grin: :grin:

I may have picked up the last of the shark white in stock :oops: Didn’t take me long. SS bezel on a 300 in white. On white. Looks fantastic :D

Don't think so Lindsey.

All versions of the Shark White are still available (for now) 'in stock' bar the Orange Aquaflex rubber strap version which is on pre-order for September.

Good call to go for the Shark White, the versatility of which will come with different straps. :wink: :wink:

Oops, my mistake, I’ve been clicking through quite quickly :lol: Must have seen the pre-order message on a different combination.

As you were everyone :lol:

They both look good to me, but are not of sufficient interest to consider buying either.

I looked at the blue dial labelled "Atoll" and thought, wait I've got an atoll dialled watch... yes a C60 Atoll Special Edition (and it was only £615!) and jolly nice it is too but do I want a second Atoll dialled C60? (There's not a lot of logic here, I've got a number of C60 Mk1 GMTs and they've all got black dials! :lol: )


Wait.... what's that other dial under the orange rubber strap? (I'm not a wearer of rubber straps by the way and I'm really funny about orange watches 'cos there's orange and there's orange :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: ) Go to the website and it appears in orange, white and black rubber?

But wait again, wait I say: that blue fume dial isn't called Atoll blue, it's called Reef Blue and it's the watch that's called a C60 Atoll 300? And the white is called Shark White? How's a chap s'posed to keep up? [Voice off says DO YOUR RESEARCH!! :lol: :lol: ]

Blue dial or White dial? Had that decision to make when the two C63 SH21 models came out and I fell for the Snow Leopard: I guess my ancestors are telling me that white dials are the very thing.

Here's a website quirkiness: you go straight to the white (shark) dial on orange and you're into "Pre-order for September 2023" but go into the blue (reef) dial and there's no pre-order. Change the dial colour and there's no pre-order and change the bracelet to strap and there's still no pre-order! :thumbup:

Oh man, the choices..... :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: let's have a look at the 40mm watches on the shelf........ there isn't a white 40mm there... decision made :thumbup: :thumbup: Drop it in the basket and...lo and behold.... "pre-order for Sun Sep 10 2023"! Oh well, if I'm going to restrap/bracelet from the shelf do I need to wait 'til September?.......

I'll just stick with the original thank you :)

It's too bad it's 40mm. I might have considered switching to the new one if it was a 42.

@tikkathree

It's only the Shark White on Orange rubber (as I write) that is on pre-order.

All other versions are available in stock. :wink: :wink:
