C65 Trident Vintage Diver (Blue)

Post by Amor Vincit Omnia »

One of my intentions on the recent visit to CW was to pick up one of these, that I had seen Mike France wearing on our visit in May. I fell in love with the design, despite having voiced concerns over vintage lume and the positioning of the word mark at 9.00. I have to say that 48 hours with this watch have dispelled any concerns in those areas.

I was always going to go for the Oak strap but decided to get the bracelet as well; a very different look but I’m very happy with both.

I’m loving mine. My misgivings about the name placement we’re putting me off but so glad I gave it a go.

Can't beat a good bit of caramac! :lol:

I think I prefer it on the bracelet, but I have to say it looks great on both.

Thanks, Richard. Caramac or no, the watch is certainly sweet.

Such a great looking watch.
I love it on both and am finding it very hard to decide between the two.

The blue C65 has really grown on me too. I covet the SH21 LE, but I cannot reconcile the bronze atm.

The C65 looks excellent on both the strap and bracelet. Very versatile I think. I'm sure I'll be buying a variant of the C65 at some point soon.

Thanks. Agreed the camel strap is a good look but I do prefer it on the bracelet.

I like the black on the black strap but prefer the blue on the bracelet.

As written in other posts I really hope that 1 of the upcoming new variations of the C65 Diver doesn't have the "word-mark" at 9o'clock (Sorry)
