Mentioned in the Autumn Loupe edition and due for release in November.

Is the bezel a matt finish like the now discontinued Trident Vintage, or is it the normal ceramic as seen on most C60's?
Looks matt in the pics.

I agree however, looks different in a good way.

That is a lovely looking dial - it fills a niche that I didn’t know existed, but that I certainly approve of!

For a teaser I like it a lot. Though I don't know if I could have another trident

That dial is something else though, one to keep in mind for sure if i move certain pieces on

Since then, I had forgotten some of the detail, but this picture is enough to make me sure I will buy one. The contrast between distressed dial and ceramic bezel looked great - to my eyes.

i didnt think you liked faux finishes on watches?

^^^ It depends upon your definition of "faux finish". Rather like 'faux news" a faux finish can be many things to many people.
i also saw this prototype a few months ago. The dial is deliberately made to look this way and in that sense is not faux/false. CW were rather proud of the work they and their dial supplier had done to make uniquely patina'd dials like this. The impression of it being an aged dial in some way could be a false impression but this isn't a copy of any other tropical aged dial.
Aesthetically it is somewhat challenging IRL. I was not a fan when I first saw it. I think "Yuck" might have been my first impression. However it does grow on you. I'm not sure I'd ever buy one but it is a fascinating dial to look at. This one is sure to be divisive and I rather think that's the point.

This looks very nice in the teaser photo, however so did the C65 GMT and so I am reserving judgement until release

Marmite watch, but unlike that unpalatable spread I love this C60 version. If I was still buying this would be in the shopping basket when it comes out. Looking forward to seeing full pictures.

Obviously I saw it at the same time, but in my case you would need to mentally insert NOT after a few key verbs.

Very different reaction. As Richard says, likely to be a bit marmite.

I think a “hand-finish added wear” to the dial is a big mistake.

Scratch up the dial of a watch to make it look....... really ?

Horses for courses, old boy. Not for me either, but then neither is bronze for much the same reason.

But for those who like them...

My first reaction to a bronze was - NO. Now having bought a C60 it’s - YES please. As for the Ombre - looking forward to seeing it.
