I actually bought two. In addition to the 38mm PVD, I also bought the 43mm in steel with the newer logo. The CW website was notorious then for not being able to handle the increased traffic that the sale generated and between (successful) page loads models were disappearing, and I think I was pretty fortunate to buy the two.

Despite the steel model being my main target, it was the one that I returned. I'm a staunch defender of the 9 o'clock logo but I felt that it was too modern for the vintage look and the combination of smaller size and more traditional logo styling really add to the vintage appeal. The PVD coating also meant that it was easier to justify further steel C60 purchases!

I also sold the PVD bracelet as I didn’t feel that it added much to the look either. The watch looks far better on a strap to me, and these days it lives on either a black vintage leather or the Barton canvas you see here. It’s possibly the most generic C60 I've owned, but in addition to the size, the satin dial, faux vintage and polished dial accents all add up to make it more than the sum of its parts.

I intend buying a tan strap to see the different aesthetic offered without the black bracelet.

All versions were originally produced with the ChrWard logo before being updated with the newer style.
