I've had a look on CW's Facebook page and the only recent video of a C60 Trident Pro 300 that I can find is a Reel with wristroll of the new Pool Blue Trident

I'll agree that the marker you are referring to looks slightly off BUT the Reel is clearly not shot from absolutely 'head on' to the watch. Thus the view of the marker is subject to parallax error.

If I'm looking at the wrong video, please link to the one you have seen.

The CW website shows the Pool blue as being almost perfect, not the case for the white dialed GMT for example. It would seem to be a case of pot luck as to whether or not the pips lined up correctly.

Look at all the 300s and you will see that some of the inner bezel pips, do not line up with the dial indices.
They are all on the website. If it’s not something that you notice, it’s not something to worry about.

Having ordered over 5 variants in different sizes all of them have been misaligned. On their website I agree all look fine. But having ordered over 5 looking at them in person etc they have all been returned for this reason. It’s only at the 6pm position you will see the misalignment. The steel inner ring is off to the right doesn’t match the 6pm indice on the dial. I would post a picture but last time I got loads of flack about parallax etc when I could see it with my eyes.

Having seen other posts now. It may well be that the issue has now been resolved. I think I will place an order for the reef blue atoll and hope for the best.

I just received a 300 pool blue which I bought in the sale. I won't be returning this. Plenty to like and very pleased.
My first 300. I thought I would most likely get a white 300 at some point, but this came up instead. I like the clean look with the S/S Indices, white lume and the narrow bezel.

I like the C60 600 metre watches, but this is a little slimmer, and more attractive if anything.

I must say I can't see any alignment issue. I don't really understand what might be misaligned, unless it's a parallax issue. If you are seeing things offset in the same direction that points to parallax. If the construction was actually askew, you would expect everything to be misaligned either clockwise or anti-clockwise.

I posted this pic on reddit yesterday when the watch came in. These pool blues are stunning.

I love the color. I’d like it on a white rubber strap. Cheers!

I tried it on a bracelet, but my wife prefers the blue rubber it came on. Is that Aquaflex?
I will try some other colours.

I tried it on bracelet, my lovely wife looked over my shoulder and told me what I already knew: in the depth of an English winter, on the wrist but not on a sandy beach or by the pool: no, no and thrice no. It went back. I really haven't sent many watches back.

My wife said it would be great in the summer, but I don't mind it the winter.

I have this, a yellow C65 LE, and a red C7 Rosso Corsa (hardly worn), so I'm ok for the summer. The hardest thing with these watches is to find a strap that really works. Other than self coloured its not easy.

I do have a few blue straps that would work, but they are all 22mm. Grrrr.

Not one of the standard offerings for the C60 Pool Blue; I don't think.

Looks like a Vacona blue leather (now discontinued?).

Parallax isn't an optical illusion. It's something you see visually, when you aren't looking at objects from a perpendicular position.

If the 6 o'clock index was misaligned, then all indexes would be similarly misaligned,( unless the bezel itself was manufactured incorrectly).
