What about a 40mm Dune?

Post by Bucket »

I like the new Dune, but it is a bit small for my wrist. Is there any indication of a 40mm version? I would be the first on the pre-order list for sure.

There is already a 41mm version. It comes with a nice twisty bezel too!

Seriously though, I’ve heard nothing and I personally think it unlikely.

Also, having no rotating bezel the Dune will wear visually larger than the raw numbers would indicate.

Dune 38mm 43.6mm LTL
Sealander 39mm 45.8mm LTL

The dune is going to wear ever so slightly smaller than the Sealander.

Here is a Sealander (wrist is 7.5 inches).

This old Seiko 5 is 35 mm for reference purposes.

Thanks for the reply. That is a great looking Seiko 5 !! I understand what you are saying about the larger wrist presence with a bigger dial and thinner bezel, but still too small for me personally. Just got my first CW about two weeks ago (Trident 300 pro 40mm black dial) put a Staib Mesh bracelet on it and I think it's wonderful. I could wear the 39 Sealander and be happy with the fit, just anxious to buy another CW, I'm sure something will come along.

Don’t panic! You’re in the right place. You’ll not miss an opportunity here, and we’ll all enable you in the friendliest way. Christmas is coming, so it’s a great time to buy your second CW :lol:

Maybe CW will do a 41mm Dune without the twisty bezel mentioned above.

Pure speculation and wishful thinking on my part.
