The lume is described as pretty good despite fauxtina, and the watch gains approximately 3 seconds per month. Some owners consider the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch overpriced, while others appreciate its bombproof, toolish design and military heritage.

Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow for its gorgeous, avant-garde moonphase display and impressive lume, with many finding it comfortable and well-wearing. The constantly rotating moon phase complication is a highlight, and its accuracy is noted as exceptional.

Overall, owners rate the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow highly for its visually engaging moonphase and value at the price point.
