Today we are reviewing and comparing a new model from Christopher Ward called The Twelve
Inspired by Gerald Genta designs of the 70's it is CW's take on an integrated bracelet sports watch like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Patek Phillipe Nautilus, IWC Engineer and others.
Called The Twelve it symbolizes the 12 facets they use for the bezel.
A mix of finishes makes this a true light catcher, and the thickness of under 10mm works perfectly with the integrated bracelet that is a work of art in itself!
This is the steel version that comes in at 9,95mm in thckness and a Sellita SW200, while the Titanium version not only comes with a chronometer certified SW300, but also shaves off another milimeter coming in at just 8,85mm, which is honestly amazing.
This is the first CW that I am actually thinking about keeping and buying it for myself, it is that good!
Tissot PRX is yet another take on the Genta design and is a recreation of a Tissot from the 70's Era.
It captures the design perfectly and if the size was slightly smaller I would definitely add one to the collection!

Great review! Love that you give your own insights and not just a bunch of fluff. Very helpful.

[@TeoBlu]

Excellent. Informative and beautifully filmed.

[@Alex_Delina]

excellent compare, thanks for rewiew)

[@matthewmccord99]

Was trying on a PRX for the first time last night. I will wait for the 35mm to try on but it may feel too small. Regardless, it has my vote for the price. Very cool looking piece. Thanks.

[@williamhill7312]

Great review

[@kwanmartin5629]

Great review. The Twelve has a more eye-catching dial when compared side to side. Looks good on your wrist.

[@FightFramess]

The Twelve is definitely nicer and finished better, however I just feel that the PRX has a much more cohesive and well balanced design. If the PRX was slightly smaller it would be perfect.

[@tsibren]

When it comes to the Tissot, I prefer the Gentleman Powermatic 80 to the PRX.

[@abhishekguharoy3416]

Nice video. Please make a review and tutorial on Casio Protrek PRW 6900

[@darionamjestaj3147]

Odlična recenzija! Moj glas ide CW

[@hgr.7857]

CW12 for the win, here, for me. The reason is the 6 o'clock date to maintain symmetry and the uniquely textured dial (that mimicks the negative space of brand's wordmark). Those differences ARE worth the extra cost, to me. That said, I'm not esp keen on the indices on the 12; I much prefer the simpler indices and hands on the PRX.

[@hyper_channel]

Both are awesome, I specially like the titanium the twelve but it's very far away on price from the PRX, although you are still getting good bang for buck at it's price for a full titanium watch

[@Pandash1]

for 6.5" wrist, do you recommend waiting on smaller Twelve coming later this year?

[@christianbailey40]

The PRX looks a lot like the Rolex oysterquartz 17000 from the 70s.

[@silverhorse9713]

The Tissot for me.

[@gothops154]

The PR on the CW is really poor for 2023, but everything else about it is way >>> than the Tissot, and I’m a fan of the Tissot and the Powermatic 80. The dial on the CW is better than what AP is putting out, and their new logo makes them much more appealing. But for the price, that movement is a deal breaker for me I think. The Tissot looks really cheap in comparison, but then again it’s half the price. I think for that price, the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium is the ultimate winner. This comparison is a battle of movement vs build/finish.

[@jeffmalm9708]

Cw screw down crown wins. I'd prefer the dial on the quartz prx over both.

[@Cougar139tweak]

Still seems 38mm is a better size for almost any watch and most wrists

[@vivekarunacahalam1338]

Prx got some looks like a vintage piece. It may not very well suit on all occassions and may not suit younger people due to its old school look. Twelve looks versatile and modern out of the two

[@klarnorbert]

There's some cracking noise at the right side. Lately noticed it in your videos.

[@WatchGeek]

I think my microphone is starting to die 😂

[@klarnorbert]

@@WatchGeek Dunno which video editing software you are using, but should be there a filter to remove these from the audio track.

[@AdamBA380]

Yeah I was picking up on that too. Was quite distracting, unfortunately!

[@NPrez-cv4jn]

There’s a clear winner here. It costs more, but you get more too.

[@tbone121974]

For me, I like Christopher ward when it comes to dive watches. I'd love a C60 trident 300. I think they've nailed the design. I have a PRX powermatic 80 blue dial 40mm in my collection. I love how flexible it is. It can be worn with smart casual attire during the day and a suit in the evening. The dial is beautiful to look at, especially the waffle dial with a sunburst finish. I think the 12 would scream smart casual to me due to the colour of the dial and it's lattice design. I can't see it doing understated elegance like the PRX.

[@BG-wp3do]

Yeah I think the PRX is quite old fashioned corporate whereas the twelve is far more modern looking but lacks that old school vibe.

[@a.j.e4349]

Put the PRX on a rubber and it's a whole or new ball game in size!!

[@frblaze2]

yeah except it looks le shet

[@ronb4115]

Not even close, the CW is the winner and is worth the “premium” price.

[@stavros_katsopr]

Sell both, get the 35mm PRX, problem solved, easy peasy. Cheers Marin, be well mate.

[@dhueshs4]

The quality comparison is really close… you down play the finishing on the CW bezel. Watches like the Zenith Defy dont even have that level of finishing on the bezel when it comes to brushed and polished contrast and they retail for $7k-$8k. The Tissot has plastic in the movement to keep the price low which tarnishes the movement and makes servicing more comprehensive and expensive. I like the PRX but it’s not close to the CW the twelve at all…

[@tredici72]

The CW is nice, but if I had too choose between the two I’d go with the PRX

[@rwyo83]

The prx has a square look, doesn't look like a watch. The Twelve is a better looking watch

[@Angry_Gnome]

The Tissot wears MUCH larger than it's 40mm case dimensions would suggest. I sold mine for that reason. It's blocky, and the lug length is very long with those fixed endlinks. I have to disagree with the 6.75" wrist as a minimum, which is my wrist size. You need a wrist of at least size 7.25" to pull it off without it looking oversized.

[@AdamBA380]

Yeah I’ve got a 6.75” wrist too, and the moment I tried on the 40mm PRX I immediately said “Nope” and slipped it back off to try on the 35mm. Because the design wears much larger the 35mm works great for me. Bonus that quartz is in keeping with the true heritage of the PRX, and it’s nice having at least one watch I can just pick up and wear. As for the Twelve, I look forward to trying it on. I am also curious to see the planned 36mm version in the future.

[@ImaginaryEvil]

​@AdamBA380 they're planning a 36mm? I might be already sold on that

[@a.j.e4349]

I have noticed though having the all white PRX quartz that it fits alot better and looks slightly smaller on the official black rubber strap (my wrist is approx. 6.5" )

[@Fishin_Carolina]

My wrist is 7” and the fit is great. I wouldn’t do the 40mm PRX in anything under 7”

[@AdamBA380]

@@a.j.e4349 I wish they would make a rubber strap for the 35mm!

[@yellownine]

I have a couple christopher wards and i love them. But the 12 just doesn’t do it for me. Prx is my pick, and i will probably get a 35mm auto when the new release hype settles a bit 😇

[@WatchGeek]

I'm in the same camp, have to try the 35mm first, but it might end up in my collection

[@kbarnbrook4993]

​​@@WatchGeekAnd in the bin a few years later when the plastic parts (pallet fork and balance wheel) within the movement wear out.

[@BlagoP]

Too bad you have no basis for your theory. We'll see what happens in a few years to the PRX. If they start having problems, there will be plenty of youtube videos. Besides that, the quartz PRX kills both of these when it comes to price per value.

[@watchingbrief7072]

Prx is finished by robots. The CW case is hand polished. No contest.

[@dabic3795]

Got mine prx green quartz, it is so much more original and better then waffle dial which is terrible choice from tissot that devalues prx to poormans oak

[@BoatNectar]

No difference in specs? Sellita sw200 isn't better than a throwaway plastic disposable powermatic 80? U cray

[@anonimushbosh]

One key difference is the Tissot is a direct copy of a 70s Tissot and the other feels a bit like... ooh look they selling well, let's do one too.

[@timcarlstrand5890]

Harsh to punish a new brand for not drawing from their non-existant back catalogue.

[@nathancarter5299]

The PRX has “brand recognition” and “prestige” due to marketing from the Swiss watch industry. There’s no question The Twelve is finished better in all facets except the power reserve. The PRX is a throw away watch after 4-5 years. Looks okay, but looks like what they’re charging for it. The CW punches up and looks more like watched costing $8-10K more. This really isn’t a debate and KZbinrs should stop trying to make it one.

[@boop8621]

That 70’s tissot is a ripoff the Rolex Oysterquartz

[@s.m.pravin9738]

​@@timcarlstrand5890you cant be more wrong. Checkout czapek antartique. The same designer made the twelve. It's an all original design by a legendary designer

[@kbarnbrook4993]

The PRX apparently has plastic parts within the movement.

[@divertiti]

Tissot PRX feels super cheap in the metal, felt like a plastic toy

[@maikvdz251]

The PRX is THE most OVERRATED watch. Its boring as fuck. On most wrists way too large, which is now solved with the 35mm. The price is its only benefit. For the rest its soooo boringggg!

[@Zanzibar2Far]

I think the CW is downright ugly, and it's almost twice the price, yet also misses out on eta, opting for Sellita instead.

[@AdamBA380]

I suppose that’s lucky then as it makes for an easy choice between the two! No waffling for you (except for the dial 😆)!

[@EEE-1409]

You have no taste bro, the CW dial looks like Omega AT which is no bad thing 😂

[@remus2001]

I prefer a SW200 that can I can calibrate myself and that any watchmaker can service to the P80 that I cannot calibrate and that must go back to Swatch for service (where they’ll probably just swap the movement).

[@Fishin_Carolina]

@@remus2001 valid

[@saish9225]

Atleast no plastic in CW
