Looks like they're going to be issuing a re-release of these. They're a pretty cool watch and I'm planning to pick one up!

Interesting. Do you happen to have a link to info? I searched and couldn't find anything on a general release.

I wonder if it will be the same price as the "pre-release" pricing they offered last year. Also, if it's going into general release, I wonder what the delivery timeframe will be. When I pre-ordered in December, they said 3rd or 4th quarter of 2023. If they're taking general pre-orders for delivery 6 - 12 months away, they're creating a potential nightmare for themselves.

Thanks. Guess it would help me to check my e-mails as I just looked and got it as well.

It still begs the questions though about those of us who were offered pre-orders and what that now looks like. It's interesting that they made a kind of big deal about the exclusivity of pre-ordering and now it's going into wide release.

Your welcome!

It was already mentioned at that time when we ordered. For me they told, that we'll be informed about the estimated delivery in the end of January.

I will be curious what we will see at that time on CW's site.

I like some offerings from this company but I will never wear a watch with someone’s name plastered on it.
Non-starter.

You're in luck. Nobodys name is plastered on this one. Not even a logo

Time to look again, no current CW has the name on the dial now, just the logo or nothing.

Only the blue dial is limited to 300?

And the green.

Just a heads up, a member on the Christopher Ward forum will be raffling their Bel Canto Verde (Green) with the assistance of Christopher Ward. The proceeds will be going to their local acute NHS hospital.

They've noted entrants are welcome from any country. I came across the thread while browsing their forum, but I currently can't post any links. The title of the thread is "Change of mind, the Bel Canto will be RAFFLED" and its in their general discussions sub-forum.
