I guess I was thinking more in terms of their designs. In terms of the tech, I feel like CW does things just to show that they can, in a sense. “Hey look I can make a 'x”, too!"

Super compressors are a relic for a reason; they aren’t made any more because they don’t need to be. Simply having a high quality seal has basically made super compressor technology relatively obsolete.

Likewise, my personal opinion is that any power reserve over 3-ish days is a gimmick. Either you wear your watch more or less daily, or it’s in a rotation and even a week of PR would likely not suit you. I guess technically there’s the “stop wearing Friday and it works on Monday” argument, but most upscale movements have a sweet spot in the 2-3 day PR range.

Even this watch, Zelos, Omega, others have already done aventurine dials. As cool as it is, it still feels like CW is saying “hey, me too!”

I guess I’m just playing devils advocate. I like the brand. I guess I was hoping for a bit more from the announcement though.
