Any plans for a skeletonized handwound SH21 titanium diver?

I know I'm probably asking a lot here but I would love to see what would essentially be a handwound version of the C60 Concept so that it's not so thick and display the movement in full. I would take it over any other brands high-end or not and gladly pay the asking price.

Anyone know if there are plans for such a watch or hints towards it?

Next generation C60 Concept in 2023?

I don't have the answer, but that would be awesome. I am also waiting for it.

Would it be possible to have it at 40mm instead of what I would anticipate being a 42mm?

Im really thinking about ridding myself of my 2 divers for the new Tudor Pelagos 39mm, but a SH21 with 5 days of power reserve (even handwound) would take the cake.

Seems like the Twelve X is the answer. Still a bit large to me. Would it be possible to shave a couple mm and still use the SH21?

No. The smallest case size for a SH21 is generally 40.5mm. I think if CW could have got the Twelve X smaller with the SH21, then they would have done it.

Now that would be cool. Whilst I'm hunting for a diver, I did pause at the Twelve x specifically. Now if CW could do an elite version of the lumiere, in a 43mm.. That would be my holy grail

During the forum preview Mike France was asked about the status of the current Elite. Basically CW is going to let the current Elite sunset (I would expect to see the remaining models in the next sale). He stated that the Lumiere isn't a direct replacement but it is going to take the top spot in the dive lineup for the time being and there are no near term plans to release a new Elite. Never say never but it will be a while before we see a new Elite design.

Plus of course we await the delivery of the titanium cased & braceletted skeletonised Twelve X. We wait and we wait...

Is there a big wait on the Twelve x? I'd love to see it in the flesh but can't see CW do a roadshow to Oz...

@Kreekeraux

On pre-order for late December

Launch day first orders were scheduled for October / November and the CW website currently shows "pre-orders for end of December".
There has been no announcement about slippage but my instinct is that you don't want to deliver bad news until you really have to.
