The Watch
Inspired by the use of bronze in maritime history, the 2018 Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 600 Bronze has a 43mm CuSn6 marine-grade bronze case with curves in all the right places. The watch's 51mm lug-to-lug length and 13mm case thickness give it an impressive wrist presence. On the right side, we have a signed bronze crown with deep knurling for grip, which is protected by crown guards. A bronze coin-edged bezel has high-relief Arabic numerals. Flat sapphire crystal protects the deep blue dial with “old Radium” Super-Luminova applied baton indices, a small date window at 3 o’clock. The minute and hour hands have the same “old Radium” Super-Luminova, giving real character; the centre seconds hand has the Christopher Ward Trident, which continues the maritime theme. On the rear, we have a stainless steel screw-down case back with the deep engraving of the trident sitting on a wavy pattern. Inside an automatic Sellita 200-1, a 26 jewel, 28,800 beats per hour, a robust and reliable movement. It comes paired with its 22mm CW Rubber strap plus its original unworn 22mm Christopher Ward Leather strap and signed Bronze buckle. This watch is sold with its original Christopher Ward box and original Christopher Ward paperwork.
Personal Note
Whilst I typically gravitate towards smaller watches, I seriously enjoy this 43mm Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 600 in Bronze. The Bronze case adds a serious heft and undeniable presence on the wrist. The tone of blue is the perfect choice for the design. I would not hesitate to add this watch to your collection today!
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, a Tasmanian lecturer and watch expert, saw the press ad for a watch powered by an ETA 2824–2 automatic movement, and he decided to buy one. He planned to review the world’s largest watch forum, Timezone.com critically. 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 as Christopher Ward when 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.
