Omega Seamaster Killer! Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Black Review: No Need For My Seamaster 300M??

Can the Christopher Ward (CW) C60 Sapphire Black knock the Omega Seamaster 300M Professional off the top spot as my favorite modern Swiss dive watch?

There are many design cues that are shared between the Omega Seamaster and the CW C60 line up, and I see that as a positive. I sold my SMP300 a couple years ago and it was my one and only watch regret. The C60 Sapphire came on my radar and I loved it because of how similar it was to the SMP300 in terms of it being a comfortable modern dive watch. But at the same time it is very unique because of the incredible sapphire dial, 40mm case, and quick release bracelet.

Ever since then, I wanted to get a C60 to scratch the itch but the stars never quite aligned.

However, after the C60 Sapphire Black was released, I knew that it would finally be the one to get because of the amazing yet somehow discrete dial. Now that I have the C60 Sapphire Black, will I still be longing for the return of my beloved SMP300? Short answer: nope.
