WH1715H C65 Dune Aeolian Bronze Automatic COSC (04/2025)
Quick facts
Reference: C65 Dune Aeolian Bronze Automatic COSC
Category: Adventure
Size: Small/ Medium
Movement: Automatic
Condition: Excellent
CW (manufacturer) warranty: Expires April 2030
Buy it if you want: a rugged go-anywhere bronze field watch with a textured dial
Description
Introduced in January 2025, the C65 Dune Aeolian Bronze Mk2 builds on the original Dune Bronze COSC by retaining the same 38 mm bronze case, boxed sapphire crystal and compact field‑watch proportions, while shifting the emphasis firmly to dial design. The simple, functional layout remains intact, but the flat dial of the Mk1 is replaced by the Aeolian three‑dimensional, rippled surface, inspired by wind‑shaped sand formations. The bronze case again brings warmth compared with the steel versions, while water resistance remains rated to 150 metres, comfortably exceeding typical field‑watch expectations.
Power still comes from the COSC‑certified Sellita SW200‑1, preserving the same mechanical specification and everyday usability as the earlier model. The removal of the date further cleans up the dial, placing full focus on texture and legibility. As with the Mk1, the bronze case will develop patina over time, ensuring that each example acquires its own character, but here it is balanced by a more expressive dial that clearly distinguishes the Mk2 as an evolution rather than a simple material variation.
Condition and performance
The watch is in excellent condition - no issues identified with case, bezel or crystal. The case has the inevitable patina, which could easily be stripped back with some lemon juice or vinegar.
Supplied on a CW canvas strap in very good condition.
Comes boxed with owner’s manual, COSC certificate, cleaning cloth and warranty booklet/card.
Timegrapher: Approximately +1 seconds per day.
Strap options
Head only: GBP30 reduction
Replacement of existing strap for a standard unworn CW strap: GBP20 increase
Additional standard unworn CW strap: GBP50 increase
Subject to availability, standard unworn CW straps comprise vintage oak leather, hybrid, rubber and tropic.
Please send us a message and we will adjust the price accordingly.
We also offer 10% off our straps and bracelets listed in Accessories purchased alongside a watch.
Simply add the accessory to your basket and use STRAP10 or BRAC10 at checkout. BX222 or BX253 are the ones for this watch
Generally, we list all our bracelets on our Accessories page, but if you don’t see the bracelet for this specific watch, please ask, although to be fair, you’ll be extremely lucky if we have one - it is probably the second most requested bracelet (after the C65 Diver!).
