Top notch.
Thought you might Richard, considering your comments from when we saw it at CW Towers back in May.
Strap? C'mon does it matter? You know that you will play around with a variety of straps.

Of course, you are right about the strap, Guy. I've always got a strap or two lined up for any watch I buy, so I guess I was just thinking about gaps in my strap drawer..
From the renders, I think my preference would be for the webbing, but let's see.
Although no longer a fan of bronze watches I have to say that the change from a bronze to a black ceramic bezel was a masterstroke and has improved it 1000%.
I can’t find 1 thing to not like - looks like the bronze watch I’ve been waiting for. Everything just works. Great job from CW on this one. I really shouldn’t as I’ve just moved house and have other things to spend on, but I can see myself giving in on this one. I’m trying to resist but I don’t know if I can.

I like this too, the distressed brown leather strap seems to complement the dial very well, that would be my choice.
My sentiments exactly ...and the one I've gone for.
I've actually surprised myself on this one as I've not been a big fan of the "logo" at 9 but, there's something about this watch!
What's really nice is, if I find when it arrives that it's not quite what I'm expecting, I can always send it back under the 60 day guarantee and get a full refund (T's & C's apply).
I went with the distressed strap, as I have other webbing and rubber straps around and they're easier to find and purchase. The distressed strap is more unique and matches well with the overall look and likely won't be readily available (and with the bronze clasp). I'm still shocked at how much I like this and had zero intention. Yet...here we are, another CW on the way. I don't expect this model will hang around for long like some LEs have.
That is without doubt one of the nicest dials I’ve seen, full stop.
I would love to see CW take a leaf out of the Oris playbook and do a version like the 65 diver - stainless case fitted with the bronze bezel with the matte black ceramic insert, a bronze crown (a’la Farer) and of course that fabulous, fabulous dial.
Well I was all ready to purchase laying in bed thinking I could do a sneaky late night shopping but the code 150CW18 wouldn’t be accepted at checkout , maybe im unlucky or was it a omen he!he!
