I'm quietly confident the new colours will be for the 36mm versions and I for one am really looking forward to them. Credit card is poised and ready to pounce
36mm will be ideal. Same size dial as a typical 40mm twisty bezel watch.
I reckon they are going with 36mm to test how many discerning customers they have.
IIRC there is a 36mm classically sized model from another brand that sells rather well.

On a related note, are there any vouchers on offer at the moment?
Not at the moment Andrew and ordinarily not expected until the next edition of Loupe, usually, end of August.
From this timing point of view, it perhaps points to this new colours release to be a 'special' i.e. limited numbers, say 250 of each colour, still in 39mm, priced competitively to account for there being no £100/$125 voucher.

As I suspected.

The Loupe article did indeed say four of the colors would be limited editions.

Read into it, what you will.

Any response other than “no” means “yes” In this case (in my view, anyway). “Quite possibly” raises expectations, and one wouldn’t normally expect that if it wasn’t going to happen.

My bank account will be profoundly grateful if the new releases are 36mm.
Even if the new colors are just in 36mm, I can’t imagine them not being introduced at 39mm at some point. It wouldn’t make any sense. So have faith, your bank account might still take a hit!
Well... The C63 Highlander is brightly coloured and 39mm. It's soooooo small. Any Scottish people want a great LE?

With that colour palette? Discerning?
Those of us with children of a certain age will know the colour palette known as "Early Learning Centre" colours: typically bright pastel colours. Let's see now

Maybe because Mike & Peter had some leftover stock from the now defunct ELC which needed using up….

I thought they were trying to go head-to-head with Farer for the 2022 Fisher-Price Watch Award. Farer would probably win, though, because they are sillier.

Looking forward to tomorrow's release. Have had half an eye out on a summer watch for a while, and having thought about what that means to me (off the back of the Summer watch thread) I've decided it means bright and bold. Hopefully these hit the mark.
If CW nail the summer colors, I think they will be a runaway success. Monta recently did a limited release of 100 of their Noble model with a turquoise dial priced at $1760 and it sold out very quickly. The size of the Noble is 38.5mm.
The aesthetics of the Sealander are very similar to the Noble, and at $895 on a bracelet it will be about half the price of the Noble. The finishing on the Monta will be better than the Sealander, as I have experienced with my Monta OceanKing, but who can resist a very similar looking watch for half the price from a company like CW.
