Hi CW experts
Was wondering what the number stood for after “C” on model references.
For example C1,C9,C65 etc.
Thanks in advance.

Re: CW novice question on model numbers.
As far as I know, it doesn’t have any particular meaning, other than men’s watches were always Cx, Cxx or Cxxx. Women’s watches (when CW made them) were usually Wx, Wxx etc.

Re: CW novice question on model numbers.
Oh I see gaf.
So it’s just a random number, meaningless?
Wonder then why bother with that? Just call it say the CW Trident 600 metres. Or CW Grand Malvern Power reserve. The Harrison. Etc etc.

Good article Steve.
Although it doesn't explain where CW got their numbers from.
Just refers to a certain line.

Re: CW novice question on model numbers.
Originally they gave each case a number. Case #1 = C1 &c.
