Something wrong with my C65 Trident Automatic
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2019 6:25 pm
Hello guys!
I bought this C65 Trident Automatic when it first appeared as pre-order. This lovely watch arrived on 23rd of February. But this time around, I instructed DHL to send the parcel to their collection centre. So, my wife wouldn't know the incoming although the next following day after picked up, she starred at my new watch, but she didn't say or ask anything. Phewww!! I love this automatic version, from the simple blue satin dial to the thin case. I can't find anything to fault about this watch.
So few days ago, someone in CWE FB recommended toolwatch apps to measure the accuracy of mechanical watches. I eagerly installed the apps on my iPhone, and the accuracy test on my C65 Trident Automatic started right away. My test is simple, I wore it for four consecutive days, with only up to one hour left on the desk for having shower. It was painful, I must admit. You can't imagine how 'itchy' my wrist was, to wear other watches like I always do! Here is the result:
Day 1: -1.4s
Day 2: 0s
Day 3: -1.6s
Day 4: -1.1s
Something wrong with my watch, I think. This is impossible! CW in their webpage clearly mention that the Sellita SW200-1 movement accuracy is +- 20s per day, for I believe the movement Standard grade is used, but not according to the result shown. Does CW use higher Sellita movement grade, such as Special (Elabore) or Premium (Top) for this version? Maybe! Well done CW!
