2024 Christopher Ward C65 Dune 38mm on Bracelet

Here we have a 2024 Christopher Ward C65 Dune on a bracelet featuring a curvaceous 38mm 316L marine-grade stainless steel Light-catcher case that has brushed and polished surfaces that transition with crisp edges, catching the light as you rotate your wrist hence the name, a lug-to-lug length of 43.5mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm ensures a comfortable fit, on the right side is a screw-down signed crown with an embossed Christopher Ward Twin Flag motif. A Circular brushed and polished smooth fixed bezel holds an anti-reflective box glass sapphire crystal above the White Sand Dune dial, and an outer minute chapter ring surrounds applied chamfered diamond-polished disc and dagger indexes filled with Super-LumiNova Grade X1 marking the hours. The polished edges catch the light in a magical way, at 6 o’clock, a date window. Brushed and polished hands are filled with the same luminance, complemented by a sweeping second hand complete with the characteristic Trident counterweight. At 12 o’clock, we have the applied Christopher Ward Twin Flag motif with black text at 6 o’clock indicating its water resistance. This go-anywhere, do-everything watch is perfectly balanced. On the reverse, a screw-down exhibition case back with the details of the watch engraved around its edge, inside an automatic Sellita SW200-1, 26 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, with a bespoke “Colimaçoné” finishing (a type of twisting sunray graining), the rotor has a double Twin-flag engraving across it. It comes paired with its Christopher Ward 20mm Marine-grade brushed stainless steel bracelet with a quick-release for easy changing; all links are included, plus two additional CW straps, and the watch also comes with its Christopher Ward presentation box and papers.

This watch is sold with its original Christopher Ward presentation box and Paperwork. It comes paired with its Christopher Ward 20mm Marine-grade brushed stainless steel bracelet with a quick-release for easy changing; all links are included, plus two additional CW straps. The watch is from January 2024 and is sold in worn condition but overall in fair condition, as you can see from the photographs. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

This is the Christopher Ward C65 Dune in 38mm and comes paired with its brilliant Christopher Ward bracelet, and comes with additional straps. With the recent release by Tudor of their Ranger with a similar dial and having seen both in the metal, I really do think that Christopher Ward wins this one. I have been toying with adding one of these to my collection, so if this doesn't sell quickly, I will likely keep it myself, so snap it whilst you can!

In 2005, Mike France, Peter Ellis, and Christopher Ward embarked on a pioneering venture by founding the world’s first online-only watch brand. Their journey began in an unassuming setting—a converted chicken shed located on a picturesque farm in Berkshire, England. With a vision to revolutionise the watch industry, the trio launched two initial models: the C5 Malvern Automatic and the C3 Malvern Chronograph. Shortly after the brand's debut, a significant turning point came when Dave Malone, a lecturer from Tasmania with a passion for horology, spotted an advertisement featuring their watch powered by an ETA 2824–2 automatic movement. Intrigued by the product, Malone decided to purchase one with the intention of writing a critical review for Timezone.com, one of the world’s largest online watch forums. However, contrary to his original plan, Malone's review turned out to be incredibly favourable, declaring the watch to be the “best value mechanical watch in the world.” This affirmation was a game-changer for Christopher Ward, leading to a substantial surge in sales and solidifying the brand's reputation within the watch community. Recognising the potential for growth and the need for innovation, Christopher Ward sought to enhance their offerings. In 2008, after garnering significant acclaim from industry experts and collectors alike, the company began collaborating with Synergies Horlogères, a Swiss watchmaking firm based in Biel, Switzerland. Owned by Jörg Bader, Synergies Horlogères shared Christopher Ward’s vision for creating intricately designed movements and exceptional timepieces. The collaboration marked the beginning of a rigorous period of research, design, and development. After years of hard work, the fruits of their labour were revealed in 2014 with the introduction of their groundbreaking in-house movement, Calibre SH21. This remarkable achievement was not only notable for being a high-quality mechanical movement but also for being the first innovative and financially viable movement developed by a British watch brand in over half a century. The announcement sent ripples through the watch industry, further establishing Christopher Ward as a formidable player dedicated to redefining the standards of luxury and craftsmanship in horology.
