The Shoreline was a big hit and quickly sold out, and now CW is bringing its attractive dial pattern to the masses with six non-limited references, plus two new Dune GMTs that do not feature the textured dials. The C65 Dune Aeolian replaces the outgoing C65 Dune in CW’s catalog.
Steel, Bronze or GMT?
The most basic and affordable version of the new Dune is the Dune Automatic. Like the now-discontinued original Dune field watch, it features a 38mm stainless steel case, a vintage-inspired boxed sapphire crystal and 150m of water resistance.
The new watches are also powered by the same reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, but they no longer have a date, resulting in a cleaner dial. As before, the movement is visible through a sapphire caseback.
The biggest changes, of course, are on the dial, where we not only have the beautiful rippled sand pattern and lack of a date window but also a simplified lollipop seconds hand, as the Trident counterweight — once a CW signature found on nearly all of its watches — has been deleted. Less controversially, we have some fetching new colors and lume treatments.
