🎉🎉🎉 FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHT GRAINS OF SAND WRIST 🎉🎉🎉

I've been wearing the Dune Bronze for about 3 months and I enjoy it very much. The green and the bronze just go so well together. And it's been entertaining to see how the bronze changes patina in different environments (it looked particularly attractive after some time in the Gulf of Mexico). The micro-adjust was very stiff at first but loosened up nicely after a week or two - I've been using it constantly this summer. A fantastic timepiece... for me.

It's a sweet looking watch. I usually like blue dials, but the green and bronze look like a killer combo.

Its like they took a Seiko SARB-ish case, and a Tudor BB36-ish dial and made a baby. And its glorious.

Bro I don’t even talk about the watches, you got the like with the sand research and the subscription with the thumb war. The kind of attitude I love. Keep up the work 🤙🏻

Love that you keep reviewing CW watches! I am excited to see if they have the new Bronze? reveal on display at this weekends Wind Up Watch Fair in Chicago!

That green and bronze is gorgeous! Quick adjust too! Chronometer grade movement! 150 m WR! CW is killing it!!

Excellent review as usual. Im very proud of this make. Im English and I have seen them go from strength to strength. I have not owned one yet but the black dial Dune in steel. MMMM, tempted, so tempted.

I absolutely love the look of the bronze one, and I've been waiting to see your review on it! CW have been killing it lately, and it's going to be exciting to see what they drop tomorrow!

Evan, it’s too early to fully have watched this, but I gotta give props to Christopher Ward’s exceptional customer service.

That’s really refreshing to read. Pay attention, Big Swiss.

I just found the channel. Great one. Fair, not a seller as most of the others. Great humour, and fine taste for watches. I have The Dune, but not a bronze one. I think that just Zelos made a wearable bronze bracelet. It was inox below, but hidden from the view.

I finally got to try this line and many other Christopher Wards on at Windup Chicago this past weekend. CW is the real deal. There is a lot of refinement and every watch from the Dune to the divers and Twelve were amazingly comfortable on wrist. While the quick adjust is not always the smoothest, it's definitely preferable to figuring out which of 3 drawers I shoved my watch tools in to pop a spring bar out of the micro adjust clasp. Wait, it ended up on the shelf. Was in a hurry last time? Sorry, I got distracted. Anyway, my only quibble is a personal design preference. In an affront to the Dune name, I would love to see the black and the blue dial versions with crisp white markers. I just think they would be stunning with that option. I don't dislike the way they look now, but I like the other way more. I am not thrilled by the recent price hikes across the industry, including CW's, but I feel you're getting a better watch than some more expensive watches in this case.

I have been waiting for a proper review of these watches. I like the look of em!

CW is definitely stepping up! If I don’t already have the bronze green Rado Captain Cook…that bronze would have been it! ❤

I love CW and these are no different. Thanks for sharing.

Just ordered a used sand dial C65 that comes with the canvas strap as well as the stainless steel for $850. I’m beyond excited. Very nice video

If you insist

Christopher Ward keeps getting better and better. I was put off by their old branding, but the new one is on point. Now, where do I get the money to buy one... 😅

Christopher Ward has been hard to ignore lately. I don't really buy into the whole beater watch thing. If it's that bad, I just remove my watch (really, it's OK). But there are times when it would be foolish to wear an expensive high end timepiece. Camping trips and adventure holidays, for example (at least the kind I like to do). For these things a watch that isn't crazy expensive but still a damn nice thing to have on your wrist... I just feel everyone needs a watch like this. I know I do. And I think my next one might just be a Christopher Ward. Very possibly one of these. Thanks for sharing.

CW is one of the brands doing great these last few years. I was fine with the original branding, but the designs have become so much better... And great video as always, mister 5327 sand grains...

Another laugh out loud funny review! Keep ‘em coming!

Let's be really clear here. Nobody is making better produced content for "us" watch nerds. Nice work as always - that steel Dune on the bracelet might be the perfect GADA watch. Thoughts? 😮

"Thankfully these watches dates are at six o'clock which is also when my wife and I have our dates so we can be asleep by 9.30 because we are 85 years old." Ha! That hit me in the feels. Great review mate!

Another great video Evan! I have 12 watches in my collection (a limit I make myself keep to), currently half of them are from Christopher Ward. They just do so well at their price point (and often punch way above it), that although I often look at other brands I end up going back to CW because you get more for less. I don’t think I can give higher praise than that. If heritage means little to you (as it does for me), then they are seriously worth your consideration.

The 5-year warranty demands at least one servicing by them and only them, in the first 5 years, so count the cost and hassle of shipping watches back to England as part of your TCO. And I'm not bitter, just because mine decided to develop a "helicopter" rotor in the first six months of ownership.

This might be the first Christopher Ward I've ever actually been interested in purchasing.

These do a fantastic job of reality-checking watch prices. Holding one of these makes the prices charged for the Longines Spirit, IWC Mark XX, and Tudor Black Bay models just seem like a joke or social experiment the major brands are playing on us.

Perhaps more clear in person, but with the domes crystal on the GMT version - I could not read the numerals on the GMT outer ring at any point in the entire video. I really like the look, the black and white offset ring... the red arrow GMT hand. Looks great - cant read it at all... the entire thing is distorted by the domed crystal. Like I said, perhaps its better and much more clear in person. But from the video there are no clear moments at all.

I like the CW Dune field watch but I’d make 3 changes: 1) just put white BGW9 or C3 lume. Vintage aged looms looks horrible. 2) Add a red tip to the second hand like on the C65 Aquitaine. 3) while the on the fly adjust is nice, the clasp is ridiculously too long. A shorter clasp would be preferred. I’m also not sure why the trident second hand is on a field watch?
