Freezing in Finland
It's far too cold for me to be all the way out here in Rovaniemi.... It's heading into summer where I flew from!
Wasn't sure how my CW would feel in the minus 19 freezing cold but happy to say the metal on skin wasn't an issue.

Nice one! Is -19degC the average or the lowest temperature?
Last year I brought my Squale Sub-39 to Iceland during what was described as “the coldest winter in 30 years”. Don’t ask why a tropical guy made that trip just to freeze in average temps of -15degC!
Anyways, glad to report the Squale did not only survive, but kept solid time as well! All on the metal bracelet too 💪

I don't really know. For an aussie, my average winter is 5, rarely below zero. So it feels extreme already!
You're a braver guy than me using it on a bracelet, coming from the warm Singapore weather. I opted rubber for comfort and fear of frost bite!

Yeah I did ask myself if I would be risking frostbite, and I did bring a rubber strap as a backup! Not making such a bollock-freezing trip again anytime soon; going to Barcelona in a few weeks 🔥
I’ll be there in a couple of weeks! Waiting to take a dive in a frozen lake on bare skin. I’m thinking wich watch will take the bath with me
Do you take after Whim Hoff?
Good luck with the dive. Let us know which watch you bring with you when you immerse yourself in the freezing cold water
Was there a few weeks back (for work, though), really cool place. Great watch, enjoy!
Where I live winter temperatures routinely get down to -17c and my watches in general and my CW Trident in particular, have had no problems. 🫣
The CW is a great piece. Love your fire, I'm in Scotland, warming up next to mine. The outside temperature is dropping quickly. Going through many logs now!
