Christopher Ward C60 LympstonevsSquale Matic

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C60 Lympstone's bright and long-lasting X1 lume, which some note outshines that of other well-known dive watches. The watch features a unique forged carbon dial and a PVD black finish, with two large, easy-to-manipulate screw-down crowns for time setting and the internal compass bezel. One owner reports the watch has a COSC certified chronometer movement. Overall, owners rate the Christopher Ward C60 Lympstone highly for its distinctive carbon dial and impressive lume performance.

Owners widely praise the Squale Matic for its superb finishing and comfortable wearability, with many noting its vintage-inspired design and the 4 o'clock crown contributing to a compact feel on the wrist despite its 44mm size. Reviewers highlight the outstanding lume on the hands and the double-domed sapphire crystal as favorite features, while some owners find the bezel insert glossy and the lume on the orange indices to be almost non-existent. One owner dislikes how the oyster bracelet terminates at the springbars instead of sitting flush with the case. The Squale Matic is powered by a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Squale Matic highly for its robust build quality and comfortable, vintage-inspired ergonomics at its price point.
