C6 is discontinued?
It appears the C6 has been retired. I noticed this model is no longer listed under the diving watch section on the site. Its last appearance was in the half-off sale (in fact the only watch to be featured in the half off sale).

Re: C6 is discontinued?
Remember last summer's phase-out/selloff? C2, right? In both cases a quartz "original" from which a very successful mechanical follow-up had already emerged (C20/C60).downer wrote:I guess the Trident C60 is the replacement?nathanclarinet wrote:I wonder if a 'replacement' might be in the offing?
Makes me wonder how long the C5Q has left? Or is it too iconic to drop as the "entry-level" CW? We would then have a situation where the only men's quartz watches are the chronographs.
Pity they never made a mechanical version of the C1...mind you, one or two people have been dropping hints.
Time will tell, and we await 2012's releases with interest!

Re: C6 is discontinued?
Perhaps the difference with the C5Q is that it was actually introduced several years after the C5 Auto. I imagine the C5Q was developed to fill a perceived gap in the market, and that it is therefore, part of the ongoing range?Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: Remember last summer's phase-out/selloff?

Would have been in the sale surely if this was the case?Helix Von Smelix wrote:I have heard that the C60 pepsi may be on the way out.

Not necessarily as it will depend on stocks held. Plus a bezel change will turn it into another model.robinbarke wrote:Would have been in the sale surely if this was the case?Helix Von Smelix wrote:I have heard that the C60 pepsi may be on the way out.

Re: C6 is discontinued?
I wouldn't be suprised if the C6 was being retired, and, possibly, a new quartz version on the way??
The C60 Trident isn't really a replacement, more like a higher level (read auto ) stablemate!!
I've still got my T3 version, which I shall be hanging on to, unless someone comes up with an offer too good to turn down
