Unlike the Nautilus, Royal Oak or Daytona - that is, if PP, AP or Rolex want to, they can ramp up production since just SS?
The CB is actually Journe's most difficult watch to produce. Only about 30% of the dials make the cut, the rest have to be discarded. And the tantalum case is more difficult to work with than steel or gold.

They used to manufacture around 200 CBs per year. The production has been cut down to 100 pieces per year now.
