New C1 Bel Canto colors up for pre order

"You'll need to pay £1,000 to secure one, and, crucially, these models are not a limited edition. You can head over to the Christopher Ward website to put a deposit on one of the new Bel Canto models, which are expected for the end of October 2023. 

The new models come in four colours: Nero (black), Rosa (salmon), Viola (purple) and Cielo (light blue). Each can be paired with a titanium bracelet, or a choice of two Vacona leather straps, with one matching the dial and the other complementing it." - T3

This is based on a SW200-1 base movement and modified to call it FS01. Same movement they used in their jump hour?. How is the legibility on this watch ?

Like the front hammer and chime movement is built to resemble a bird. Real cleaver design work. I love that watch!

Certainly a lot of hype around the Bel Canto with lots of call-outs as the watch of 2022.

I think I will add another CW to my collection at some point but as much as I can appreciate this one I couldn’t see myself wearing it to often, so I think I’ll pass.
