Hi There Folks,
As a long time fan of the CW brand, and now returning in spending my hard earned cash on a C60 300 , when looking at the current collection range, I was a little disappointed not see more variety as like in years gone bye.
It is heavy focused either on a diver or sport range of watches.
Were has the dress watch, aviation and indeed motor sport collection's gone.
Are there any plans for the above to return in the future?

No doubt I can't be the only person wondering where CW are heading.

I was at CW this past Wednesday and there was no mention of extending their current offer, except with the realise of a couple of LE’s, one this November and the other in March next year. I had every intention of buying a 300 but when I saw them, one question popped into my head, “do I need or indeed want another diver”? Simple answer was, “no”.

I didn't have a diver at the time, so pulled the trigger.
My previous diver was a Brietling Superocean Heritage.

I think they are catering for what the majority of the public want

You are are right, it’s what the forum wanted and all credit to CW for delivering the 300.

That and the sealander are the watches we have been asking for for years.

Yes, I have surprisingly few divers, and accordingly not so many rotating bezels. I am not particularly averse to them, but I like other watches as well. Among others, I now have C65 handwounds in 3 colours, and a C60 bronze. I think my favourite of the recent CW's would be the new Pro 300, but I don't really need another watch to be honest.

My own sense is that they have continued to refine and clarify the aesthetic of the CW brand over the last couple of years. And I agree that the Sealander was a kind of watershed moment for them -- creating a new non-diver sport watch platform which they'll be able to build on for long time. Personally, I'm a big fan of the current design direction -- and think the quality and value proposition continues to be really strong.

PS: Maybe a little off-topic for this thread, but I also think the quality of the CW bracelets is outstanding for the price. I don't have any "luxury" brands -- and maybe they're even better -- but boy, when I wear one of my non-CW watches with a bracelet, I always think: "Well, it's ok, but it's no CW."

The Sealander is fine watch no doubt, but when I look back of some of there recent dress watches, like (forgive me if I'm wrong here), The Grand Malvern, The Beckett and the 5 day Harrison Auto using their own in house movement, great watches and would wished I had kept the latter in my own collection.
I hope to see some more like that

Imo the SH21 has also been too fat in all dims to make a proper dress watch. Smarten up the 36mm sealander and that could be a brill dress watch.

I think this sums it up quite perfectly.

Considering they sponsor a motorsport team, however, there really ought to be a motorsport watch. I’d be curious to see what a chrono version of a 39mm Sealander might look like.

You mean chronograph, right? CW being a purchaser of third party movements, I'd also be curious to see how they could pull it off, and would be ready to pay the price for it. Their current chrono offering is way too large and bulky for my taste, however unless they go manual wound I dont know what the mvt offering could be without breaking the bank significantly. Zenith makes a lovely 38mm auto chrono, but the price aint that lovely for most.

As far as Im concerned, and I know it may be years from now if anything, Id like CW to hone in on aspects that are often overlooked: I'd like longer power reserves than what off-the-shelf Sellitas allow for, I'd like titanium options on some of their flagship watches, I'd like CW-designed (with therefore perfect fit) jubilee bracelets that could be retrofitted to sealanders/C60s.
