Is the rubber strap a new design?

Yes it's new; although it has the now typical lengthwise ribbed underside (as seen in the gallery pics).

Fitted ends would’ve looked amazing tho, especially on the Reef Blue with Aquaflex rubber.

Missed opportunity to make a real impact!

I'm really into the applied logo on the new releases. Its one of the things that really swayed me to the Dune and its just as impressive here. I'm on the hold out for a new bronze issue with that now, then I'll have found my dream diver.

Tres perceptive. Pretty well spot on. :D

And long enough, in the video, to go over a wet suited wrist which ought to silence those "every dive watch must have a dive extension" bleaters.

It's never going to satisfy those who bleat on behalf of deep sea divers who don't wear anything quite so cissy as a 2/3mm wetsuit. :lol:

Personally it's been a while since I went down eight feet and maybe at that depth the non-lumed bezel insert just won't be a problem.. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I second this and hope the applied logo is the new standard. As small of a detail this may be it really helps finish the dial and makes it look complete. If they put the applied logo on a blue 42mm Trident 300 I would buy it today.

Swing and a miss for me, the dials (at least online) don't appeal to me, although the rest of the watch is a hit.

Looking forward to seeing owner wrist photos!

I grabbed a 500 yard roll of bubble wrap, and am currently crushing each bubble:

Yes I press "Add to bag" - No I resist the temptation - Yes I press.....

Let's see what comes out at the end of the roll 🤣

I haven’t bought a CW diver…I know it says the bracelet has micro adjust, but is it ‘on the fly’ like a glidelock?

I like the white dial on SS bracelet a lot, but the blue dial with blue strap is perhaps even nicer.

It doesn’t require tools but you have to take it off your wrist to resize.
