Post by AtomicTom » Tue Apr 07, 2020 10:12 am

Have you guys by chance seen these new Christopher Ward's GMTs?

First there is the C65 GMT Worldtimer, which is CW's first watch with
both a GMT, and world-time function. Having details like a 42mm stainless
steel case, 150m WR, domed sapphire crystal, world-time bezel, black
dial with luminous hands, and markers, and yellow, and white accents.
Plus nice straps, a stainless steel bracelet, along with Sellita SW330
automatic.

1000m WR, AR coated sapphire crystal, built in helium release valve, diver's
bezel with Zircnia Ceramic insert, black, and blue dials with red, or orange
accents, luminous hands, and markers, sellita SW220 movement, Titanium
bracelet and special CW rubber textile strap also.

I really love the case shape of the C65 and almost all variants they have fitted in to it but I am not sure about the world timer. The dial and details seem a bit lacklustre, not sure if it's the photography or pics they have used, it's the same in all their official pics, it just seems to lack something.
Especially when you look at the incredible dial details of the C60! Looks fantastic and great specs. Love em or loathe em, CW make good quality, interesting watches!

Thanks, Tom. I like the look of that C60. The hands are bold, but I think I like that on this watch.

I like all their stuff - I think they are really underrated. I’ve only had a couple of their moderately priced divers over the years and they were stellar. Thanks Tom!

I got to try out the 65 vintage GMT recently and it was a super impressive watch. even the logo looked great in person. i do like the worldtimer posted here.

still have a soft spot for CW. my first mechanical (and 2 of my first 3) was a CW. i had a C8 vintage pilot (which i eventually sold) and still have the red LE Mk1 C60.

I like them, but if I'm doing a GMT worldtimer, I'll be getting another Eterna Kontiki Worldtimer with the dual color lume. Yet another watch I regret selling (to someone on here 7 years ago).

They really are impressive looking, and seem to dot most every i, and cross every
t don't they?! :) Honestly am going back, and forth on which is nicer, and it's kind
of a stalemate. The C65 is great because it seems a little more classic, but then
adds in the nice touches of yellow, and is eye-catching everywhere. While, the
C60 is maybe a little more bold, and modern, yet still extremely cool !

It's a toss up between the two, and that Eterna James. :grin:

All the thanks goes to YOU guys as always !

If it's a Sellita SW330, is it actually a world-timer? Or does it just show cities?

On the eterna, the dive bezel turns and so does the crystal and inner bezel with the cities.
