What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC 6BB-WR

The CWC 6BB-WR is widely praised for its legible matte black dial, strong lume, and crisp chronograph operation. Owners and reviewers note its military heritage and rugged, confidence-inspiring build with a screw-down crown and pushers. The Sellita SW510 BH b automatic movement kept time within COSC range in testing. However, its 14.9mm thickness and 80g weight make it wear large, and the cam-lever movement lacks the satisfying click of a column wheel. Fixed bars limit strap options. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the CWC 6BB-WR highly for its legible dial and robust pilot chronograph design at its price point.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
