These are all the names I mentioned in my original post on Sneak Previews...

Speedbird has connotations of transatlantic travel to me, and I'm not 100% sure it's right for a fairly macho design (though I think the reality is that CW's watch is sufficiently different to the other design mentioned that he would infact be able to use it).

I wondered about Typhoon, which has modern and historic associations; TriMotor, which has aviation associations and reflects the three dials of a Chronograph (though they're Germanic); Vulcan (no, not Star Trek but the RAF V-bomber); or Meteor (again, another name with the echoes of aviation history - this time, the first Brit fighter jet).

I would go for Vulcan or Blackbird if the C40 is an aviator style.
Both are fantastic looking and draw a lot of attention from crowds.

After a quick review of both topics I see only a few duplicates...

Vulcan - first suggested by MorrisOx 6/26, also by Vangarian 6/30

Typhoon - first suggested by MorrisOx 6/26, also by mjh935a 6/30

Valiant - first suggested by Uncle Bill 6/26, also by Yoda 6/30

Griffon - first suggested by MorrisOx 6/30, also by Galton321 6/30

If I have missed anything let me know.
