No I don’t think so. The C65 case has been modified for the Super Compressor, to give it a cushion-esque vibe. The end links on it’s bracelet are straight edged where they butt up against the watch, whereas they’re curved on the Dartmouth.

Re: C65 Super Compressor
There is a separate C65 Super Compressor bracelet listed on their website shop, so I would agree it wouldn’t likely fit the “standard” C65 bracelet.Thermexman wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 5:31 amNo I don’t think so.

Re: C65 Super Compressor
I’m quite warming to this watch style, as it does look rather unique in the range and has really casual look about it.
Now, if they could add GMT functionality, with an appropriate bi-directional 24 hours internal bezel, that would make an interesting watch too. It wouldn’t be a true diver then, but I would guess very few of us are actually diving with these anyway.

Re: C65 Super Compressor
CW list separate bracelets for C65 Trident Mk2 (Dartmouth, Diver), C65 Chrono Mk2 (AM GT LE) and C65 Super Compressor.
I'll therefore advocate, the answer is, no.

The world wouldn't be the same if our favourite Mail order/online retailing watch company had a 100% effective online ordering system.Thermexman wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 7:18 pm Placed an order at 4 pm and the watch was stated as being in stock. Just checked my order status and it’s showing as on pre-order!!!!
Funnily enough, 3 hrs later it’s still showing as in stock on the website?
What’s that all about?

Re: C65 Super Compressor
I think major kudos to CW for bringing out this watch, the first proper compressor for 50 years. Like the rest of the C65 range, the stylish svelte case is a winner, and looks great with the display back and the decorated compression ring and bezel crown. The WR arguments are fairly superfluous are they not to 99.99% of owners. Clearly it would be fine for swimming/snorkelling and I would imagine most serious divers rely on additional technology in determining remaining air supply.
The cushion case certainly gives is a proper vintage vibe, the applied indices and the detail on the dial look great too. I do find a date quite useful however saying that the Dartmouth is one of my favourites watches of all I've owned and it doesn't have one so it can't bother me that much.
I think the dial colours will be better viewed in some real life photos.
Overall I'm sure it's a winner.

Re: C65 Super Compressor
Vostok is exactly where my mind went with compressor design.
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/vostok-amphibia
Interesting mini-factoid: I did a quick EBay search for super compressor watches and I'm slightly surprised that with a few exceptions the average price for a "vintage" supercomp' came in around £1400. This includes the Longines Legend which is a much dressier design and I thought completely understated on the wrist. I need to remember that.

Re: C65 Super Compressor
I was really unimpressed with the Longines Legend. I am a fan of Longines generally but found the legend to look and feel cheap and insubstantial. The crowns were wobbly and overly small and the whole thing felt cheaply made. Flipped it very quickly!!FieryTowse wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 10:05 am I have to say it's the first of the C65 range to really pique my interest, having at various times taken a liking to a Longines Heritage Legend Diver or Alpina Seastrong Heritage. The first of those on the mesh strap is still on my wanted list, and while I'm not sure the C65 would replace it, I really quite like the slightly relaxed, un-dressy aesthetic of the blue version. It seems to be another example of a new CW with a lot going on but which hangs together quite well.

Doesn't do anything for me unfortunately and I've dozens of compressor Amphibias which are more interesting for almost 1/20 the cost!

I think OWC deserves some kudos as well. They've been selling dive watches with super compressor cases for almost a decade now.Thegreyman wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 9:46 am I think major kudos to CW for bringing out this watch, the first proper compressor for 50 years.

Well, that’s one I am certainly ignorant of. Any chance you could provide a link, please? Thanks.
