Description
Launched in August 2016 at £900 the C8 UTC was a real headturner for CW. The offset crowns give it a distinctive look and the lower crown, which rotates the internal worldtimer bezel, is what really sets it apart. It felt different to anything else CW was making at the time and still does.
It’s a big watch at 44mm and 53.2mm lug to lug but at around 11.5mm thick it wears better than you might expect. For comparison the C60 GMT using the same ETA movement is noticeably taller. The red arrow GMT hand takes 24 hours to circle the dial and once you get used to the system it’s very intuitive. When I’m away from the UK I set the internal bezel with LON at the top then set the GMT hand to London time so home time is always there at a glance. It’s practical, a bit quirky and still one of the more interesting travel watches CW has made.
