The Watch
Here we have a 2022 Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 Black with a 40mm stainless steel case that curves over your wrist with finely tapered lugs, polished bevel-edged and brushed surfaces transition with crisp flowing lines incorporating their Light-catcher case design, and a lug-to-lug length of 47mm and a case thickness of 11mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side, we have a signed screw-down crown protected by crown guards. The 120-click stainless steel bezel has a black ceramic and fixed steel ring, and a 60-minute insert with Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL C1 coated numerals. The domed sapphire crystal AR coated sits above a polished black lacquer dial with a minute track precisely executed, the applied bevel-edged baton indexes deep infilled in Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL C1 mark the hours. Signature Christopher Ward's hands are coated in the same Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL C1. At 6 o’clock a framed date window. The bezel numerals, indexes, and hands have a neon glow from the Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL C1 in the dark when charged. On the reverse, a screw-down exhibition case back, inside an automatic Sellita SW200-1, 26 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour, decorated in a bespoke “Colimaçoné” finish (a type of twisting sunray graining), the rotor has a double Twin-flag engraving across it. The watch comes paired with its original 20mm quick-release brushed marine-grade stainless steel bracelet with a signed micro-adjusted ratchet clasp, all spare links are included and comes with its Christopher Ward presentation box and papers.
Personal Note
This is easily one of the best dive watches you can get under £1,000 - I would say this is the Tudor Pelagos 39 or the Rolex Submariner of this price range, it is that good! The design is clean, simple and effective, the build quality is amazing and the movement is a work-horse, the bracelet features a quick adjustment and screw links... What more could you want?
The Brand
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.
