C60 Apex

Post by Chris375 »

Does anyone have any information/ideas with regard to the C60 Apex as I believe it should be surfacing soon?
Cheers,

I believe there may be some information on the watch (or possibly a preview) at the London GTG at the end of August. That being the case, you should get some information from those who are attending, myself included.

Would appreciate that Patrick as I can't attend as I am working that day.

I saw and held one at a visit to the Towers in June. I would have been shot if I’d even touched my phone, so no pics.

It was gorgeous and my mate who was with me reserved one on the spot. But I have to be honest. I’m old and I can’t remember much about it. Only that it was stunning.

Saw it at a visit too. Lovely watch, but not what I expected. I think it’s out before the end of the year. Would be interesting to know the price but would expect 3k+

Oooft. £3k+ is way too much for a CW just now with all the QC and CS issues.

Yeah that’s what I thought. I stand by my guesstimate that the C60 Apex will be over 3k.

It was £2,995 and an LE of 50 pieces.

As to release date for the C60 Apex the question was asked at the Manchester GTG;-

Any information on the design for the C60 Apex and it's intended release date and any ideas of release dates for the other Apex models?
C60 Apex is due to be released in September '19.

It is a project in conjunction with Armin Strom. Like the C7 Apex it will be skeletonised front and rear with, for the first time, a display back on a CW diver. WR will be 300m. Design sketches are in the next edition of Loupe and expect the price to be in the region of £3,500.

There will be an Aviator Apex in 2021.

Those attending the London GTG might well get an official first peek.

Well as always we should just have waited for Guy :-P Much more precise and helpful than my crude guessing...

That’s a fair chunk of change but I don’t doubt they will all be reserved before they even hit the site.

Yep, I could remember £3k. I also remember my jaw hitting the table when my mate, who had no intention of buying anything, asked to reserve one!

Thanks Guy.
Remembered about it being released in September but as we are closing in on the date wondered if there was any info that might be out there such as that which people who have been to CW Towers have been able to find out.

£3500 ?
For me that's pushing the desire for a limited production CW way too far, even for the bragging rights of just 50 being made.
Maybe it will look incredible but I'd have to consider what else is available for that money, even though it would be 1 of thousands of other of that watch, eg Omega Seamaster, Rolex OP.
