What started as a passion has become one of the most trusted places to buy CW pieces online. We curate every watch carefully, ensure honest condition reporting and photograph each model with the detail we’d want if we were buying it ourselves.
Our goal is simple - to make buying a pre‑owned CW as easy and enjoyable as it can be.
Whether you are dipping your toe into the wonderful world of watches, hunting a discontinued classic, upgrading a daily wearer, or adding something special to your collection, you’ll find it here — accurately described, properly inspected and ready to wear.
We release new stock to our mailing list first. Remaining items are added to the site shortly after.
We also have a sister site - the Second Hand Watch Collective, where you can discover brands other than CW.

Quick facts
Reference: C65 Dune Aeolian
Category: Adventure / GMT
Size: Medium / Small
Movement: Automatic
Condition: Excellent
CW (manufacturer) warranty: Expires January 2031
Buy it if you want: A compact, highly wearable GMT with understated character.
Description
Introduced in January 2025, the C65 Dune Aeolian GMT is a slightly odd one. It’s called an Aeolian (meaning shaped by wind), but unlike the three‑hand Dunes it doesn’t get the rippled sand dial. Instead, it’s got a flat dial - available in Eve Blue or White Sand.
Naming anomaly aside, it’s the right choice. The flat dial keeps the GMT hand easy to read and stops things getting busy and the whole watch wears really nicely. It feels like a simple field watch most of the time with the bonus of a second time zone when you need it. It’s not big and flashy or trying to draw attention. It’s beautifully understated quality.

Quick facts
Reference: C9 GT40 Limited Edition Automatic
Category: Motor sport
Size: Large
Movement: Automatic
Condition: Very good
Ward Hoard warranty: Six months from date of purchase
Buy it if you want: One of CW’s rarest performance‑leaning C9 informed by Aston Martin’s design language.
Description
Released in August 2015 in collaboration with TMB Art Metal, the C9 GT40 #P‑1075 is a limited edition of just 40 pieces created to mark the car’s back‑to‑back victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968 and 1969. The connection is more than just conceptual. Set into the caseback is a laser‑cut aluminium disc taken from the wheel spinner of the original GT40 #P‑1075 itself, giving the watch a direct physical link to the car it references.
Speedometer‑inspired numerals, an inclined outer dial ring and a power‑reserve indicator styled like a rev counter give it a clear motorsport identity without relying on chronograph scales or overt racing colours. The power‑reserve in particular is the detail that makes it work for me: it adds mechanical interest, reinforces the automotive theme and gives the dial something to engage with beyond simple timekeeping.
Condition and performance
The watch is in very good condition with only minor signs of careful use.
Case: Clean with light hairlines only
Bezel: Excellent with light marks on the polished surface

Quick facts
Reference: C11 Makaira
Category: Dive
Size: Large
Movement: Automatic
Condition: Good
Ward Hoard warranty: Six months from date of purchase
Buy it if you want: the daddy of the C11 range.
Description
The C11 range arrived in 2011, at a point when Christopher Ward was still experimenting with what its technical sports watches should be. The Trident already existed, having been introduced a couple of years earlier, but it had not yet become the brand’s defining line. That left space for the C11 to explore more specialised territory, leaning harder into aviation and professional dive‑watch concepts. The C11 models were more complex, more technical and more assertive than the Tridents of the time, and they played an important role in shaping CW’s reputation for specification‑led watches during its first decade.
The C11 Extreme is the daddy of the C11 range: waterproof to 1,000 metres, 1,000 pieces made, and priced at £1,000 when you could still buy one new. It was available between 2014 and 2016 and represented a definitive full stop to the C11 line, going out with a 15mm‑tall bang rather than a quiet fade.
A watch of that height, driven by a 4mm sapphire crystal and a thicker caseback required to achieve the 1,000m depth rating, was never going to be subtle. The lime‑green markers reinforce that message. Even so, the design stops short of excess. The dial remains clean and legible and the softer sheen of the titanium case takes some visual weight off what is, unavoidably, a very serious piece of equipment.
The three apparent “crowns” are all functional. On the left is a helium escape valve. At the upper right is the control for the internal rotating bezel. The lower right crown handles time and date setting. Nothing here is decorative and nothing is trying to be clever for the sake of it.
As a limited edition of 1,000, the C11 Extreme has now been off sale for many years and most examples have long since settled into collections. As time passes, fewer and fewer come up for sale, particularly well‑looked‑after, complete examples.
