It is called a C9 Harrison
Big Day-Date, and it has dual discs. One for day and one for date.
Whichever way you look at it Kip it's a misleading title, typical of CW hyperbole. It can't be a big C9 as the case is the same size as the other C9's and the date is certainly not as it's on a standard 31 day wheel. The day may be oversized but the proportions look to me to be the same as the C20 and C50 which aren't referred to as a big anything.

Sorry, but I don't see it as misleading at all.
It is not a Big C9...It is a C9 Big Day-Date.
Our eyes must be different, because I am looking at a C20 and C50 and comparing it to a photo of the C9. The C9 Day-Date looks larger to me. If the print is larger, or
oversize as you say, why would that not qualify? Certainly if it is larger than anything CWL has built so far, I don't see a problem.
Until we actually get them side by side we can't get an actual measurement anyway. Even if it was the same as a C50 or C20, and I am not seeing that, just because they were not called a big anything does not preclude CWL from calling this a Big Day-Date.
Maybe it is not as big as a Zenith or A.lange or Sohne Big Date (I don't know) or others, but it is not called a "Biggest Day-Date".
