Nice to see it offered in grade 5 Ti.

 

Nice looking watch, should be a winner.

 

I see £999.17

 

Minus tax for buyers outside the UK maybe?

 

wow, 48 grams... not bad, that's like my carbon fiber g-shock square.

fixed spring bars though? what do you guys think about fixed bars?

Fixed bars are great. Really the main draw for me with CWC. Their bezels tend to be somewhere between awkward and painful.

 

Nope.

 

That's nice. I like the thickness of the bars.

 

I love it and I'm thinking about selling a watch to afford it.

 

I'd wear it.

 

For that much scratch, the case backs had better be pressed in by Aimee Lou Wood’s teeth or something.

 

Oooohhh mean...... 🤣

 

Very good watch, excellent size and specs, I wish it was a little bit cheaper. CWC did a good job with the dial, they finally got rid of word “Quartz” and Ti logo is styled to look like British military Tritium markings.

 

I like it a lot; titanium and HAQ are big pluses for me, but the fixed bars are too limiting for strap choices (I prefer marine nationale to NATOs these days).

 

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the info James! CWC RNs are just too hard to ignore. This release just makes it even more difficult. wished they could make do without the “encircled ti” on the dial though.

 

Yes

 

I'm not buying one, but I admit it's tempting.

Compared to the steel models, the improvements of the RN-Ti are significant - weight reduction, high-accuracy quartz movement, and longer battery life. I think I prefer its method of fixed-bars too (being part of the case, not welded on).

I bought my steel RN Quartz Mk2 Matte-Top (RN300-MT-QS120) in late 2023. It's great, I love it. Now my sights are set elsewhere.

 

I really like the watch and it was throwing a $500-$600 USD vibe at me. But it's $1,600!

That's five Citizen Garrisons on titanium bracelets, with enough left over for two cases of OK beer, a pack of cigarettes, and a burrito. They're drunk!!!

The non-VAT price, which is the one you want for comparison, is $1,260 or so, it varies a little daily. That's roughly double your upper expectation bracket, and that's an entirely normal expectation for pretty much any watch these days.

The steel version is just over £550 ex tax, this one is £1,000. It's a small batch production, and made in Switzerland it says, but that is a chunky uplift.

I like the Ti in the circle. It's good humour. Nice to see that, before it gets outlawed around the world (coming soon to a society near you!)

 

It’s a great looking watch- like all other CWC RN diver models. If I didn’t already have the steel version(s) I would definitely buy. Yes, it’s expensive, but we all know there’s little logic or reason behind this hobby!

 

I like it. Had they kept a 12-hour bezel option I would be in.

 

At least it isn't a £10 Ronda movement in this one like the rest of their quartz watches. They charge an extra £30 for a day date dial on the MK2 RN with Ronda 517 even though the no date already has the same movement with ghost position. Can't think of another Ronda 517 powered watch that's close to the £730 they want. It's such a sloppy old movement like most Rondas in that range.

 

I like it. Always wanted a CWC. Grade 5 is a nice touch.

 

I checked out my buddy’s and it’s really nice. Not a bad choice if you’re looking for something like that.

 

I am not planning to buy the new Titanium model, however it has rekindled my interest in the regular steel RN diver (matte top, polished sides). As others have commented, the price in general does feel a little high to me and for that amount I'd like to see the new ETA HAQ F06.402 movement rolled out to the steel range as well.

 

I’ve looked at them on the bay in the past (Older models) but the price seemed how shall we say, Bremont like, so i have never had one.

At half that I would, as I like the design of their watches.

 

 

How is the strap it came with? Is it titanium hardware as well or just regular nato?

 

It's nice enough, but pricey.
Scurfa MS models are a fraction of the price with an ETA Preci-drive in titanium at about a quarter of the price ( assuming that you can get one)

 

They're both nice watches. I still prefer the fixed lugs and flat crystal.

 

Citizen and Seiko, and a bunch of independent watch companies, offer $500 watches in titanium, on bracelets.

As much as I like CWC - I really do! - , which part of this watch is justifying the $1.5k price tag?

No bracelet and a quartz movement - even a high accuracy one - should ensure a very affordable value proposition, hence this should be at most a $600 watch.

What am I missing? It's made by blind monks in K'un-Lun?

I'm guessing it's the small batch case run and some novelty mark up.
