CW Field Watch
Has there ever been one? If not why do you think they haven't ventured into the market? Would you buy one?

Re: CW Field Watch
Don’t think so. No idea why not. Probably not, not my sort of thing.

Re: CW Field Watch
I was just about to ask the same question!
- Diver: Swimming watch, also worn by others. Sometimes large#.
- Chronograph: Two or three sub dials for timing stuff.
- Dress watch: Smarter than the above, just don’t bang it around or get it too wet.
- Pilot: Makes folk think they are a pilot. Often too big for the person wearing it (#see diver).
- GMT: Second time zone, comes in many shapes and sizes.
- Sports watch: A diver without a twisty bezel, but still has enough WR for any recreational diver.
- Field watch - no idea’

Re: CW Field Watch
^^^ Military inspired watches as far as I'm aware.
Not sure whether this was something started by Hamilton that ended up as a general term (much like a "Hoover") ??

Re: CW Field Watch
A field watch is a direct descendant of the military watches issued during WW1. Usually tough and very legible. For example: https://www.gearhungry.com/best-field-watches/

I think this explains why CW haven't done a Field Watch, I think the Field, pun intended, limited as demand may be is fairly well covered already.Thermexman wrote:A field watch is a direct descendant of the military watches issued during WW1.

Re: CW Field Watch
CWL have a clear marketing dynamic and ethos to provide Dress, Diver, Aviator and Motorsports watch; as Mike France explained to me at SalonQP a couple of years ago.
A Field watch doesn't fit this dynamic / ethos.

Re: CW Field Watch
There's a lot more demand for divers, particularly good ones, than there ever will be for field watches unless there is a major war, by which time a Field watch will quite possibly obsolete.Robden wrote:Didn't stop them with divers.Termite wrote:I think this explains why CW haven't done a Field Watch, I think the Field, pun intended, limited as demand may be is fairly well covered already.Thermexman wrote:A field watch is a direct descendant of the military watches issued during WW1.

Re: CW Field Watch
@neil8fletcher3 - of course one should never say never, Neil, and in the same way as the new C65 Vintage Diver is about to be released, it is entirely possible that we may see a CWL Field watch in the future.
