CWC Cabot Falcon Quartz Chronograph WatchvsCWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC Cabot Falcon Quartz Chronograph Watch for its domed sapphire crystal and brushed/satin case finish, which contribute to a vintage aesthetic. The case design with wider lugs is noted for providing a beefier, improved appearance. Some owners question the value at over $800, while others defend the price, citing its Swiss-made origin, low production, and collectibility from a respected brand.

The CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch is widely praised for its faithful recreation of vintage details, including its dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring and pointed crown guards. Owners and reviewers note its reasonable size and the original minute hand design. However, the lume is a point of contention: some find the "faux patina" tint too gold and glossy, while others specifically criticize the mismatched lume color between hands and hour markers, with the hour marker lume described as overly shiny and convex. On balance, the CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch is highly regarded for its authentic vintage aesthetic and wearability, despite mixed opinions on the lume application.
