They don't do much for me but good to see matching colour wheels; oddly inconsistent across other ranges.

100loupe26 will be the voucher code in British pounds with the new Loupe due today or tomorrow. It is already working if you want to buy today. USA should be 125loupe26.

If you are in the USA and you buy in British pounds you will save a substantial amount of money due to the current exchange rate. It will also put you under the $800 limit for customs fees.

My thoughts on this one? If I were buying a dive watch today, I'd go for one of these. However, current generation Trident 600 owners needn't cry into their beer (though die hard collectors will surely buy a 300 anyway). In terms of diving depth, has anyone here taken a CW watch close to 300, let along 600? I just like it that I have something that can withstand the worst that Manchester could possibly throw at it.

Just a thought though. I bought the 38mm Trident Pro 600 because it would look better on my skinny wrist. I do wonder if the 40mm Trident 300 would wear as well thanks to its slimmer profile.

The deepest scuba dive ever was 393 meters. I have a feeling nobody on this forum is hitting that.

^^^ There are some who plumb the depths in a more metaphorical sense.

I have to agree. The presentation must have been something else to achieve the euphoria being displayed here! When I first looked at the updated website, I was looking for the new watch, then I realised I was looking at the same watch, sort of, or as near as any other CW dive watch, which actually was the new watch. Confused? Me too. I thought it was going to be distinctive from the rest.

In fairness, it must have been my understanding of what the new watch represented that was at fault. So it was all about the gubbings underneath the dial, but not the overall appearance? Unless you use a tape measure.

Maybe a bit harsh in view of previous criticism of not having a brand identity, but even Omega, when launching a new Seamaster, ensure it is different enough from the last one to make it recognisable as a new model!

But there you go. It is what it is and there are lots of happy potential buyers here, so job achieved.

I don't know why they bother with press or forum/CWE embargoes if they are going to post a day early.
I just wish they had used red for all of them rather than the Rolex-alike yellow/orange. I'd love a green one but not with that nasty colour on the second hand.

Had the £100 Loupe voucher gone forever?

Edit - ignore, just seen the responses above.

Well this is the CW forum and CW were preaching to the choir

It's a nice watch and brings some features from the, IMO, best looking current CW (the C60 #Tide) to the C60 Trident Pro. Will it cure cancer? No. Is it ever going to be a mindless, fan-boy classic like any release by Rolex or Tudor? No. It is a nice looking watch and it's not retro. Well done CW and I hope it sells well.

I think that CW have done a good job with this new release.

Albeit I would have preferred a closed caseback, to make each version thinner.

Other than the Aquitaine GMT I don’t have any white dial dive watches. I will likely go for the white dial 38.

^^^^ Let's all remember this is Trident 3.1 not Trident 4.

In automotive parlance, its a mid-term facelift not a new model.

I cannot buy any more display sw200 casebacks. CW need to do a solid caseback. And a COSC option. For those two reasons I'm out.
