As always the most thoughtful, well researched & eloquent watch channel around, keep AMZWATCH coming !

Big difference. BC 2 has a brighter, more open sound. Big improvement & fine vid Chris. Thanks

[snowashesfilm]

wow, this guilloché dial and the roman numerals! This makes this watch even more Iconic!

[SecronSeven]

What an absolute home run. Every improvement feels purposeful and adds to the watch in a positive way. Love it

[justingalore]

I bought the original blue too. Today I bought this. It’s like my original blue and my Breguet tradition had a baby.

[williambireley]

That dial looks amazing! I’d love to see CW make other models with laser etched dials.

[MrKkramme]

Great review! Thanks 🙏 I am awaiting the Bel Canto Red One this Xmas ! Soon!

[jaydub]

Thanks for the video Chris! I agree, all the improvements I see are thoughtful, appropriate, and welcome.

Your characterization is spot on. They're working on the fine points and making the right decisions. I can detect a difference in the tone and to me it has a slightly more resonate and refined chime. Very cool. Thanks for the great review.

The old one also has a minute track. And the logo on clasp is not the only place with said logo. You can clearly see it on the crown and the inside of the belt. Concentrate, mate. :)

At the Toronto Timepiece show I was able to handle the purple Bel Canto, I really wanted to order 1 but didn't think I would be able to read the time. After handling the original I confirmed i was right. The dial & hands just blended into each other. I planned to hold off until they put numerals on the dial like the special edition for the British show. This current version just moved to the top of the list for my next piece. Thanks for the video.

Great video
“On its head” my grail watch.
Think i would rather have the lume but I get why they changed it.
One day 💯.

I have the black dialed Bel Canto. Love the improvements but am completely happy with the prior iteration. The main thing is that Christopher Ward is evidencing that it is serious about better horology by offering the 12X titanium skelton watch with in-house movement and the improved Bel Canto.

[tinderuppal]

I have the limited red one on order but now i am tempted to change

[yoginasser]

Old one sounds more tinny compared to the new one. I think the new sound is an improvement.

[nikc]

I think the roman numerals suit the haute horology aesthetic of the watch but i think I'd rather own the gen 1 with its modern indices and lume. Love that gioche dial thoigh. I really dont know. I'm quite keen to pick one up either way but i need to decide. Swaying to gen 1 though.

Might have to finally pull the trigger on it after the update. Looks amazing.

[markedfortime]

I have the original blue. This version is beautiful too, but I don't need a second. I'm looking at something else that is just a little more expensive and even more. amazing! That being said, if I didn't have the original, I'd be all over this one!

[AVillaBeats]

I welcome the new add-ons to version 2 from a watch esthetics perspective, but I still prefer the dial, backdrop, and lume of the original version. Version 1 is a more fun watch.

Great video Chris! This is an awesome watch worth trying on in person one day. Looked at the CW website and that gold/oro dial variant looks stunning, perfect for more formal occasions.
