The SBS 1987 Aged Special is a masterstroke in blending nostalgia with practicality, offering a unique opportunity to own a low-to-no-glow SBS dial paired with vibrant, new hands, a fresh Ronda movement, a new but aged case, and an authentic '87 bezel and insert—all delivered with a premium price tag. While critics might scoff at the value proposition, for a select group of CWC aficionados (let's call us the 'lunatic fringe'), this piece hits all the right notes.
It’s a tribute to the rugged utility and understated allure of the original SBS, reimagined for modern-day wearers who still crave the patina of history without the anxiety of damaging a precious vintage. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning the iconic '87 SBS without the fear of scuffing or dinging it, this is your answer.
However, if your heart leans towards an unblemished canvas to age and personalize over time, the SBS '87 Reissue might be a better fit. But for those who relish the imperfections of a story already told, the Aged Special stands as a wearable testament to the legacy of CWC's storied dive watches.
