Can anybody tell me if the corax kingfisher is only in the black face model? Also do I take it that the case is black? and that it is just harder wearing? I dont mean the LE many thanks!

Case is not black.

Face colours available:
Yellow
Orange
Blue
White
Black

It is a tough plating on stainless steel.

Neil is talking about the "corax-kingfisher", and this one is black. Model-number is C6IPSI, and if you look closely, you will see that the case is black IPK indeed:



You have to really examine the CW-website closely to notice this one, the fact that there is a black IPK Kingfisher is well hidden! And that is a shame, because I think the combo black dial, black rubber and black IPK case gives it a nice stealthy look!!!

Thanks Hans, I will now call you "The oracle" meaning I believe, .........the font of all knowlege

On a serious note Hans, thanks for all the very useful info and pictures on here, I hope you are on commission from CW

Regards

Neil

Ps, always had a soft spot for the Dutch People on account of a reserve/Army unit I was in once!

I thought I was missing something.

In another thread I referred to this as the corax KF. Mainly because when I first went to CW's website and was perusing the KF's, it would take a second for the images to load. While they were loading, there would be text in the image box describing the watch I had selected. While waiting for this watch image to load, the text used the word corax in the description. Doesn't look shiny like corax though.

On the CW website this kingfisher is also in the corax collection with the C4 and C3 corax editions.Chris says that corax is the name for a raven in Latin and is used for the watches he coats with an IPK ionic process giving them a raven black diamond hard finnish.

And only named Corax because I must have missed by a millimeter. I submitted Stealth and darn it, that should have won. Mynd, you are my nemesis! Quoth the Corax, nevermore!

So is the black face Kingfisher only available in the corax IPK finish?

No. Just look at the collection over at the CW-site, The C6IPSI is with black case, but the C6SKSI is with normal case and black dial..

Sorry Im not makining myself very clear

can I have the ipk finish with any other colour watch face in the kingfisher range other than the black face kingfisher Hans?

Sorry for me not understanding!

I don't think so Neil, but you can always ask CW!

I love the way that strap integrates with the case. That has to be the best looking case/strap integration I have seen on any watch. Darn shame I don't like rubber straps.

cheers Hans thats the way I read it, I just like a brighter colour like yellow and thought it would go! Still I would have thought if its just a case I could ask chris to have one under another colour! I take it that the ipk will scratch less than SS I may be wrong!

100 % Agree.

The integration is just perfect. And because of this, I ordered the LE with rubber strap !!!
