New CW Chrono - has this been done yet?
I think someone jumped the gun on the social media trigger (intentionally?) but this is doing the rounds. Thoughts?

Tangent nitpick - but it's kind of ridiculous to me when brands boast "316L Steel!"as if that's a premium and not literally the baseline of what all steel watches are made of at this point.
If true, the thickness is impressive.
Could you pls share a link or something?

What did they supposedly do?
If they release this it will be my next watch!
Don’t hate it. Jubilee is a strange combo for that case / dial imo.
That looks pretty cool!
One oddity: the top subdials are offset from the center axis. I thought only quartz chronos did that. All the mechanical/automatic chronos I can recall have subdials on the center axis. Is my impression mistaken? Did CW modify an existing movement or come up with their own chrono module to accomplish that? If so, that’s really impressive.

I thought that too. For what it's worth the Daytona, i.e. Rolex 4130, has offset subdials (but not by that much). Not that Christopher Ward has access to that movement but hey... 😅
The overall aesthetic Look like a racing watch! Wow! CW is really rocking it
Certainly it’s filling a gap in their collections.
The sub dials look a little bland as they don’t look textured in any way but that could just be the photography? But I like the lay out and the applied numbers.
I can’t help but be disappointed, after belcanto/ twelveI was really hoping for preceptual calendar or big date window. This just looks like my bb chronograph reverse panda
I like the bracelet design
It's ok, but doesn't blow me away. I hopped for something a little more special from CW.
They can't knock it out of the park every time I suppose? 😄
This on the BADER bracelet option they offer would be KILLER. This may be the chronograph I need.
Wow 11.5 mm chrono is pretty impressive!
Quartz.
Quartz.
I’m hearing that too. Sub dial layout suggests it.
Confirmed
