Looks really cool. Any idea about price?

No idea as information is quite limited currently, but knowing CWC it won't be cheap!
My guess is in the ball park of $1K.
Cuz CWC 😂.
Also don't take that as a dog, Marathon stuff is pricey too.
Like it a lot. under how much?
A no date option would be nice. This looks a bit crowded.
I find it tricky to get my head around a monin cased chronograph! Nevertheless I do really like busy the look of it
Its very interesting that they are straying away from their usual m.o. of models being closely based on historically produced watches - even if this one is a combination of two. If it sells well it'll be exciting to see what other new designs they may come up with in the future

That's exactly what I thought, a lot of people buy them due to their history, but something that hasn't been and will probably never be issued, might be less popular, but interesting nonetheless.
The chronograph pushers also don't appear to be screw down so it'll be interesting to see how the water resistance is

Well spotted, the normal falcon is described as "splash-proof, not rated for immersing in water" - I can't imagine it will go down very well if its no better than that!
Having said that there are non screw down chronographs out there with useable water resistances so fingers crossed
