Which would make sense due to the popularity of the Sealander line. But, the teaser CW photo posted on the "Bronze & Green" thread sure looks like a partial view of a C60 bronze diver with a green Ombre etched dial! A major clue would be the 600 meter dive rating revealed. So, it does have me wondering if this is going to be a two watch release?
It’s certainly not unheard of!

When I saw the Bronze Sealander , it was a chronometer and I thought that it had a sapphire dial. With the Christopher Ward at the 12 it was on a black strap. There could be other dial options I only saw one page that was marked 'testing'.

I agree with the others that it looks like a C60 is also due for release. So I guess it is just wait and see.

I received a CW email promoting the Loupe magazine that will be landing on our doorsteps soon. It stated that there will be two new bronze watch releases!

A 'dirty' metal that will darken and patina, and a modern, glossy, semi-transparent dial.
I find that a very odd thing ...

An odd combination but, I like odd so looking forward to seeing this one - not that I’m ‘in the game’ at the moment, window shopping only for a while.

Oh boy! That’s quite a teaser. This is the first sapphire offering that has actually excited me!

I like the juxtaposition of those very things. I’m really curious about this now.

Odd sometimes works, oddly, Who’d imagine a skeletonised dive watch with no dial or hour markers? 😉

Yeh, I'm not dismissing it. Will wait to see some 'proper' pics, but my initial reaction was one of confusion (well, still is). :D

I'm sure it'll look decent when the metal is raw/virgin/cleaned. Once it starts to patina, I'm not so sure.

I’ve never owned a bronze cased watch before.
I’ve never owned a CW Sapphire watch either.
It’s an interesting combination, and I am definitely not turned off by it, I’d like to see it in the flesh, so perhaps another trip to CW Towers might need to be booked?
Keep well,
