I've been looking for a new watch for some time and found the CWC 6BB-WR by accident. Its a remake of the original 6BB watch from the 70's updated with a number of features including being water proof. The watch has a classic military dial layout which is very clean and crisp to the eye. Its a "proper" automatic mechanical chronograph and very well presented. If you want something a little bit different I can highly recommend it. CWC sell a number of straps but I'd suggest the canvas CWC single pass ones they look great. Its 43mm overall in diameter but doesn't wear big because of the case shape. Its not a cheap watch but I think it easily competes with other brands that are twice the price and are far less exclusive.
This is my fourth watch from CWC. And the sharpest of the bunch! Well crafted and accurate to beat all! Goes with my Clearance Diver, Sea Falcon and G22. I wish I had these when I was still on active duty. Well done!
Excellent design and build quality, comfortable on the wrist. Classic military style, very functional. Watch was securely packaged and dispatched quickly. Received prompt tracking information and receipt of the watch from the courier service.
So my 6BB-WR arrived functionally it was perfection the automatic movement is reliable and has a good reserve. The dial looks like I remember it a and the Super Luminova lighting works well. Overall a delightfully updated trip down memory lane
