C65 Sandhurst, Cranwell AR coating?

Post by kingcutt »

Self-explanatory, do the C65 military watches have AR coating? It doesn't come listed in the specs, as it does with the C60 Trident for example, but I would be surprised if they didn't have it, right?

I am pretty sure that they do. A quick email to customer service will confirm.

There was a recent thread about the same subject referencing the C65 Dune. CS verified that it does have internal AR. The standard Aquitaine lists AR so there is no reason to think the Dartmouth doesn't have it. Since the Dune has AR it is reasonable to assume that the Cranwell and Sandhurst would also have it being very similar designs.

Thanks for the reply (and apologies for the delay in mine).

As suggested, I contacted customer support Tuesday of last week. Unfortunately, still waiting to hear back... Patience is a virtue! :D

I'm looking at my Cranwell now alongside all the other watches (which do have AR coating), and it looks just as effective at reducing glare/reflections... so I'd be surprised if it didn't have AR :problem:

Thanks for the input, Jasper. I'm new to all of this so don't have anything to compare it to really, so appreciate your expertise and experience.
