Alsta SuperautomaticvsChristopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300

The Alsta Superautomatic is praised for its excellent retro 70s dive watch design and connection to the movie Jaws, with reviewers noting its contrasting case finishes and comfortable Tropic strap. Owners are split on its value, with some finding it egregiously overpriced at MSRP but a fun summer piece around $500-600, while others acknowledge collector hesitation due to the Sellita SW200-1 movement. The bracelet's execution is criticized for poor detailing and less crisp machining, and the bezel lacks lume. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Alsta Superautomatic for its vintage-inspired design and Jaws movie connection, despite some reservations about its price and bracelet finishing.

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 for its exceptional finishing, particularly the "Light Catcher" case which beautifully plays with light, and the comfortable bracelet featuring a quick-adjust system. Reviewers and owners highlight the ceramic bezel's 120 clicks and premium feel, the dial's finishing with applied indexes, and the impressive lume. The crown operation is noted as premium with no wobble. Some owners find the 40mm case wears small, especially on a rubber strap. The Sellita SW200-1 movement has an advertised accuracy of -/+ 20 seconds per day and a 38-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 highly for its build quality and finishing at its price point.
