Where on earth was that lurking on the CW website, though?
I was wondering this as well. Same for the C60 Sunrise.
Do Christopher Ward hide certain models away on their website for the few in the know (like a treasure hunt)?
Also, wasn’t the ‘Everywatch’ coined for the Sealander?
I thought the sunrise was released as a watch within the sale. Is that not correct? Was it just released as a limited edition. It seems curious to release it while everyone's attention was focused on the sale. The same with the shadow really.

There’s precedent for this, for introducing a model at a discounted price as part of the biannual sale. The C65 AMGT LE was introduced at the time of the July sale at a discounted price compared to earlier models with the same movement and specs.

Interesting and novel. ETA instead of a Sellita GMT is more curious to me. While it looks different and attention getting it is not a complication for me.
Potentially it's using the ETA GMT movement as, seeing posts referring to it having been around for a while, it was conceived and movement supply secured, prior to CW's adoption / Sellita's release, of the SW330.

At least one person on FB purchased it without being a member so I don’t think there was a member check before checkout.

This explains something to me. A while ago I was looking at the trademarks registered by CW (don't ask why, I'm just sad...), saw the TradeTime trademark and wondered why. Now I know.
And I'm curious now about Everywatch(™) and if CW intends to use it for something
Ah that rings a bell#.
That is where I first found out about it. Equally sad.

I think that one is already on eBay
Not necessarily 'the one' but there is one on eBay already;-
£600 for a Sealander GMT is pretty decent - opening bid though. .

Right? The Atoll was mailed to everyone (but perhaps being 350 pieces makes more sense?) that Sunrise was what? 35/40 thats really low numbers and this one was? 500.. never saw it until sold out. Love the blue, like the inner disc, not a daytrader myself but as novelty for the right price always a spot in the box.
