The Watch

Founded in 2005 by Mike France, Peter Ellis, and Christopher Ward they started the world's first online-only watch brand. Launched from a converted chicken shed on a farm in Berkshire. Soon after the launch of the brand Dave Malone was a Tasmanian lecturer and watches expert. When he saw the press ad for a watch powered by an ETA 2824–2 automatic movement, he decided to buy one. He planned to write a critical review on the world’s largest watch forum, Timezone.com. Fortunately for Christopher Ward, his review was most complimentary. Stating the watch was the “best value mechanical watch in the world”. Sales immediately spiked and Christopher Ward became firmly established. After receiving such high praise in the industry and from collectors in 2008 they began work with assistance from a Swiss watchmaking company: Synergies Horlogères. Based in Biel, Switzerland. SH was owned and led by Jörg Bader who had the same vision Christopher Ward had on designing a new movement. After many years of design and development, July 2nd, 2014 saw the announcement to an astounding watch industry of their own in-house movement, Calibre SH21, the first commercially viable mechanical movement from a British watch brand in over 50 years.

Here we have a Christopher Ward C60 Trident Mk.2 - Trident Pro 600 Vintage PVD C60-38-A-KVKK-C-B taking its inspiration from the dive watches of the past. Its PVD coated case has polished and brushed surfaces that transition with crisp edges. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown recessed between crown guards. The unidirectional dive bezel has a scratch-resistant black ceramic insert. A flat sapphire crystal sits above a matte black dial. Applied baton indexes coated in Old Radium SuperLuminova, in keeping with the vintage appeal. At 3 o’clock a framed date window. Spade and sword hands with a sweeping center second covered with the same Old Radium SuperLuminova. The distinctive Trident counterbalance completes the minimalist dial. The text is contemporary and uncluttered. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the Trident motif embossed in the center. Inside an Automatic ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW 200-1. A robust and reliable movement. The watch comes fitted on its original Christopher leather strap with a signed buckle. The watch comes with its Christopher Ward presentation box and papers.
