Re: SH21 movement and number of jewels

There's more than quick setting to a "proper" GMT watch. While independent setting of the 24hr display and normal hour hand are necessary, the date also has to be coupled to the normal hour hand so that when travelling from east to west the date moves backward when the normal hour hand cr...

I'm hoping for a GMT version with a quick-set hour hand. :D
You can rest assured that CW have been made fully aware of the NEED for that complication. I mention it every time I get an opportunity! :lol:
Keep mentioning it! :lol: 8)

How does the C8 Power Reserve wear?

Hi all,
The C8 Power Reserve is seriously calling my name. One thing that's putting me off is the 44mm case diameter. Could someone who's worn the watch give me some feedback on how it wears? From the photos it looks like the lugs curve down a good bit, which would help.

Thanks in advance!

Re: SH21 movement and number of jewels

Welcome to the forum. The C8 uses a manual version of the SH21 whereas the C65 is an automatic. I guess this explains the different jewel count. More information can be found in the archive... https://cwarchive.knack.com/cwarchive#model-search/view-model-details/5cc1ab072e432d0c93b45106/ Thanks Ric...

The C8 Power Reserve Chronometer has 27 jewels while the C65 Trident Diver SH21 Limited Edition has 33 jewels. Shouldn't the number of jewels be consistent between different watches with the same movement? Tha...

Re: New Discount Code

Does anyone know why the promo code box wouldn't be visible on the checkout page? I'm in NZ and am trying to purchase my first CW, the C65 GMT.

Problem using May promo code

Hi all, I'm in the process of ordering my first CW watch, a C65 Trident GMT. Their May email has a promo code for 120 pounds off a purchase of over 600 pounds. I can't find the box on the checkout pages to enter the promo code. Is anyone else having this problem? I may be looking right at it and not...
