Blue C60 Discontinued?
I can't find it on the site anywhere and don't see anyone talking about it on the forum. When did it get discontinued?

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
I see your problem. Current c600 has 4 face/bezel options that I can see (despite web text saying 3), vintage/black, black/black, white/black, black/red.
The c60 300 has the black/black, white/black, black/red and black/orange.
Yet the web images for the c600 'King of the Sea' (here) does show at least a blue bezel.

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
There was a blue bezel black face that was discontinued around October last year. Until recently there was an all blue version which no longer seems to be there. Assuming this isn't a mistake with the site perhaps it's about to be discontinued also.

That is indeed the all-blue version! And yet, it's not available for purchase on their website. Why advertise it, then?st-rider wrote:I see your problem. Current c600 has 4 face/bezel options that I can see (despite web text saying 3), vintage/black, black/black, white/black, black/red.

Guess it's gone. Wonder if they sold all of their inventory or will be having a "flash sale" with the remaining ones. Would consider picking up a 38mm all-blue version if so...

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
It was there about 4 days ago when I was looking. They changed the watch slider from manual movement to a click arrow so with that update the blue version was removed. That bright blue honestly didn't sell as well as the other colors and we know it because of the lack of pictures vs. other versions. Either they're going to bring in a new darker blue or the only blue version available will be the Chronograph, which would be stupid as it's pricey and not all blue. Maybe that Chrono blue will have a PRO version soon.

They had both the 43mm and 38mm all-blue C60 in their Nearly New sale. Perhaps they cleared them out like that instead of their usual 50% end-of-model sale?
I really like blue dive watches but their blue was a bit too light and bright for me.

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
If there wasn't too much stock a NN sale makes more sense. 50% off is when they have a lot of slow sellers. I did notice the blue Trident was one of the last ones there so you're probably right.

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
They probably sold them in the NN. I have a feeling we've seen the last of the 50% off sales based on Kips comments before the last one.

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
I don't mean to rub it in, but I ordered one last Thursday using the 15% discount code (not NN) and it was waiting for me when I got home tonight...

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
Looks great! Please post more pics, it's very hard to find pics of the all blue version. Can't decide if I like it or the black dial + red bezel.
Just sold my 43MM C60 because it was too big to fit on my wrist, and now I'm waffling on whether 38MM is too small...
I've noticed US eBay is virtually wiped of Christopher Ward watches - ones I've been seeing for months have all been cleared out in the last few weeks. Wonder if people are snatching up the past logos while they're available.

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
I'll put some more pictures up tomorrow, also alongside a 43mm Red/Black and a 38mm Black/White for comparison. I like both sizes and I think the 38mm on bracelet feels great to wear and looks brilliant especially if I'm not wearing a long sleeved shirt.FourthWard wrote:Looks great!

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
C60's seem to be thinning out on the website since the relaunch. There has to be the suspicion that divers aren't part of the new marketing game plan, just something there is rather a lot of stock of still on the shelf.
Whatever you do with diving watches they are a retro fashion icon. No one with any sense relies on them for diving anymore. They are just a good solid watch that doesn't mind getting wet or thumped a bit and has a useful timer bezel. Not exactly trendy, not exactly new CW.

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
Wow! Since I already have a blue C60 600 and 300..I didn't realize that the blue wasn't being offered anymore. Crazy. A blue C60 300 was what caught my attention for the brand and was my first CW purchase. Mmmmm....I don't get it. Bright blue is a tremendous color. I can't imagine it was a poor seller. I guess CW is just moving in a different direction in that divers are only black, red or dark blue (chrono). Guess we will see if the Orange bezel C60 300 are put up on the next nearly new sale. That last nearly new sale was a great way to move remaining blue pieces without the fan fare of a 50% off discontinued sale.
Cheers!
Billy

Re: Blue C60 Discontinued?
As promised here are more pictures, these first ones are of 43mm Red/Black, 38mm Black/White and 43mm Blue - so you can compare size and colours. They are in bright daylight, but not direct sun, at slightly different angles:MadMrB wrote:I'll put some more pictures up tomorrow, also alongside a 43mm Red/Black and a 38mm Black/White for comparison.

The blue in direct very bright artificial light:
And in dim artificial light:
And the 43mm Red/Black and 38mm Black/White on wrist. I have a 6.75" fairly flat wrist:
I hope this helps, and apologise if this is too many pictures.

Now just need to compare the C60 Mk1 LE scooter blue, the C60 Mk1 CW blue and the CW C600 blue
