I've been after a Pelagos 39 for a while, but this new CW is turning my head. I know that the CW brand name isn't as strong as Tudor, but the specs are pretty amazing for this watch, and it looks great!
- 41mm
- Grade 2 Titanium case and bracelet
- 10.9mm height
- 47.9mm lug-to-lug
- 22mm lug width
- Black/Blue/Orange dial colours
- Brushed ceramic lumed bezel
- Lume block indices
- SW300-1 Movement COSC certified, 56hrs power reserve, 4hz
- Helium release valve
- Micro-adjust bracelet
- 300m water resistance
A great watch I think, I particularly like the lumed up twin flags logo. It's comparatively highly priced for one of their non flamboyant/experimental models but it's a fair increase reflecting their growing customer base that they've earned for themselves by being impressively quick to spot trends.
The watch community will look back on CW in the future with loving nostalgia of the times when they were 'cheap'.

I spent a good hour or so learning about this watch yesterday. I love the orange dial and black/orange aquaflex strap. Although the titanium bracelet looks well engineered too but not cheap.
There are so many things I like... Titanium case, luminous ceramic, COSC certified and a pretty thin case.
I know nothing about the brand.

there has been a lot of negativity in the facebook watch groups over the pricing but for the specs i think its not too expensive however as many of us remeber CW being the cheap option as they go up market we struggle with the price getting closer to the established competition.
In my opinion the price rises over the last little while have led to more interesting, better resolved designs. I think CW were smart to move upwards when they did, and to the extent they did. I am not sure they could have executed that move any better to be honest.gregs656 said:

In terms being overpriced, I’d far rather pay this for that CW then anything from Bremont…
