Did CW just copy Bremont with the C60 hands and dial design? I haven't seen this combination of sword and onion hands on any other watch before. The bezel of the C60 seems similar to Omega watches like the Planet Ocean.
I know "sharing" of design elements is common in the watch world but wish the C60 was a bit more original.

Re: CW Blog - Creating waves....
Could be completely wrong but didn't the supermarine and c60 come out roughly the same time? Would suggest coincidence if that's the case but I'm sure there have been earlier versions of similar hands

The Supermarine and Trident were both released in 2009 I think.
You could as easily blame Bremont for copying CW.

I can verify that the C60 was released in September 2009.

Re: CW Blog - Creating waves....
My bad, I thought the C60 was only about 4-5 years old. It sure would be a coincidence if both the C60 and Supermarine came out around the same time. I just hadn't seen those hand combinations before.
The Supermarine was introduced early 2009.
