Interesting note on Traveler/Traveller. I think this US based speller (and C63 Valour owner) would get a kick out of having the British spelling on the dial. No argument here.

@nycWATCHnerd Nezumi has a cool land/sea/air type trio that you might like…

If you're struggling for a name and want some text on the dial, how about "Innominate".

There's an outdoorsy reference there too :D

Good call!

A far more appealing name to me. I envisage wearing it, supping a pint of Wainwright golden ale, after a day on the fells.

Swiss Watch Co might not be happy as theirs is less than a year old if I remember correctly.

I am not sure Tudor would appreciate that.

-Surveyor (Couldn’t help it!, but Bulova might frown)
-Pathfinder

https://www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/cros ... inder.html
I wonder how many of these names are actually trademarked.

Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: Tue Feb 18, 2025 10:37 am Using the C63 Valour as the only example I can find off the top of my head, I’d say CW would probably default to traveller as the British spelling.
However, a US user commissioning a bespoke might well argue against.

The UK and the US are divided by a common language so maybe this is not the best option.

I have thought about doing an inside joke for a name but I am not sure the CW Bespoke Department would be happy about these choices.

So they beat me to it. As they say, there are no new ideas just variations on old ones.
Cool watches but weird names: Terrain, Baleine (whale), Aviera (a blend of “aviation” and the Swedish word “navigera” to navigate)

- Excursion (Ford had an SUV/truck named the Excursion)
- Quest
- Safari
- Tourer
- Trekker (though Raven watches may not be happy as they have a Trail Trekker)
- Voyager (MVMT and Phoibos both have a Voyager)

So far I am leaning towards Quest or Safari but am open to other options. Maybe keep it simple and call it "Field".

Ditto but in a good way and certainly with less suggestive hands LOL

I don't want to make a clone of another company's watch because that is what AliExpress is for. :lol:

If I had been drinking tea or coffee when I read that, I'm sure it would have gone up my nose. Thanks for the laugh :lol: :lol: :clap: :clap:
