Tudor Black Bay 54 and Christopher Ward Trident Pro 300 Comparison 

If you want a watch you buy CW, if you care about the brand you buy Tudor. They are both good watches. Design wise I like TAG Heuer Aquaracer better than these two watches but it’s even more off a ripoff than Tudor. That’s the problem with CW. Once you have one you just feel as a sucker paying 300% premium for another brand name.

This is literally the exact video I've been looking for. I've trying to decide between these. The CW just doesn't have the same character I think but has better measurements and value prop. We have the same wrist size

If I knew nothing about watches I would say the Christopher Ward was the more expensive watch. It looks like it would cost more to make although both of those watch cases are made in the same factory apparently 🤔 Tudor are churning out models so quickly now the new releases go from hard to get to EBay in a matter of months now and the quality issues are mounting up too. The METAS Black Bay 58 can’t far off and then that will be the next best thing until the next black bay comes out. Those two definitely fit you perfectly Alan 👌🏼

Brand power aside, Christopher ward is a much better looking watch. ❤

I have two of the CW's one black, one white and I love both of them, they are absolutely excellent watches.

CW all the way.

Both are Strap monsters. Have watched video a few times to pick a favorite. I do wish CW would release their COSC movements as an option on more non bronze watches

Honestly, I cannot fathom how the Tutor is more expensive than the CW. I understand that each person will have their own design preferences, but I just don't see the extra cost with the Tutor.

If cost wasn't a factor I'd take the Tudor. The CW has nice case details and great features, but the Tudor bezel to dial ratio is ideal, and the Tudor dial overall is more pleasing to my eye.

Great vid. Kudos for CW with a new, modern design. When you showed the watch side profiles I was simply blown away by the CW curves...Tudor...flat and a bit uninteresting. Also wish they could have eliminated the gilt on the dial opting for silver text a FPS handset. I think the crystal on the CW is considered flat and the Tudor is actually a boxed sapphire. Anyway-great vid and great watches.

Both watches are lovely. I prefer the CW's case and overall look, but I wouldn't kick the Tudor "out of bed," lol. Not crazy about the faux rivets on the Tudor bracelet. I might have seen a replacement bracelet for the Tudor without the rivets from either Uncle Seiko or Forstner (not sure which). I read that the next gen CW will have a smaller clasp and an applied logo; two improvements that will only enhance an already gorgeous watch. In any event, both look perfect on your wrist. My wrist is about 6.75, and I still will probably be acquiring the 38mm CW soon.

Great vid. It really showcases what a genuine pain in the ass it is to switch out bracelets on a non-quick-release model. I personally like the aesthetics of the BB54 much more than the CW, but then again, I love vintage vibes when it comes to divers. The BB54 is the best product to roll off the Tudor line in many years. The CW really does nothing for me, but then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Hi Alan, a nice comparison. I think the CW is the winner here. I'd considered replacing my Planet Ocean with a BB58 Or BB54, I popped into the local Tudor boutique and I was wearing my CW63 Sealander. I tried the Tudors on but they felt, to me, inferior to my C63, I don't like the polished case sades. Think I may pick up a Trdent like yours sometime.

The CW certainly punches above its league

Just got an Seiko prospex spb143 and looking at chris ward trident pro next Sorry spb 297 blue birch

Scouser. Iv got the bb41 in s&g. Looking to get a CW next. Good taste man

Aside from the difference in movement obviously, how is the overall feeling as far as the construction level and quality feel between the two? Is there any difference

Tudor looks amazing on that strap. I just got mine in a couple days ago and it hasn’t left my wrist and the only time it will will be to experiment with straps

Ward vs. Tudor equals VW Passat vs. BMW M5

If I didn’t know I would think the CW is way more expensive. I had 2 Tudors, I thought they were so boring in person I so d them both

Where did you order the strap with the buckle like that?

What nato strip is on your Tudor? Great combo!

What is the nato on the black bay?

As someone who likes to swap straps out a lot and enjoy bracelets, it is quite disappointing to see a watch like Tudor not have a quick release. Big win for CW

I have to say both watchers are nice but that CW in 38mm looks fantastic. I do wish watch companies would get away from shiny bezels. If the CW had a matte bezel, that would be more to my liking.

Really like the look of the ward

I love the CW and the Chew-dar is OK!😂😂😂

Hi Alan, great video, thanks. I am very new to watch collecting, so please can I ask where you got the additional straps from for the CW watch? And do those straps have the quick release feature? Thanks. Dave.

Both amazing watches. Call it what you will but I am all about the Tudor, that's why I bought it and no regrets 2 months in 👍

Great video the Tudor and CW at these sizes are just the right size for my wrist too! To the point where I've decided to pull the trigger and order the CW what make is the strap you have it on at 37:33 ? Keep up the great videos I thoroughly enjoy them👍

You should trade one link on the 6 o’clock side to the other side for the uncle half link, that way clasp will be more centred

Struggled with 'similar' there mate ha 😅

What is the rubber strap for the cw?

I like Tudor but they don't have a date.

Are those the Bergeron tweezers?

Congrats on the bb54😍

54 Classic

Great video! Where did u aqquire that beautiful strap for the 54?
