Half way to a close up does indeed illustrate the.
Notable how the seconds hand is reflected in the 2 of 12.

Congratulations, Delmar.
It looks as though the Maui Jims are ready to lead it astray on the next trip.
Probably should have included the disclaimer, “Maui Jim’s not included with this purchase.” Although I will say that this watch & the Maui Jim’s will look sharp worn at the same time!

Been wearing mine for the last two days. I think it very nice to look at. The dial is nicely proportioned with well thought out layout and text-size choices. I think the numeric applied indices are a strong point.
I put mine on a third party leather strap since the stock strap is too long and I didn’t want it on a bracelet.
The stopwatch works well and the push buttons depressed with a distinct and consistent click.
Overall, very happy and think this will not
be short-lived.

I like your choice of straps! Would you care to share where you bought your strap? I wouldn’t mind one like that or even the same style with a red inner backing.

It’s the Black Pueblo Rally leather strap. Mine is with the deployant. I had another strap from CW from which I took the clasp.

Thanks! Nice to know, I will check that out.

Here’s my attempt to provide a closer look at the dial with the raised/applied numerals & logo. Capturing how this watch looks depending on how the light is striking it is difficult to do.

A quick question for owners of the new Valour, are the hour plots on the dial luminescent?
The photo on the CW web site appear to show just the hands glowing in low light, however a brief clip on youtube seems to show both the hands and plots glowing, so are they lum or not?

Many thanks in advance.
To answer my own question, then yes, though they don't seem very bright, despite a days exposure to sunlight, and just about fade to nothing by the early hours of the morning.
