Christopher Ward C65 Trident Vintage MkII
Introduction
The C65 ‘retro dive’ model is now a hugely popular feature of the CW range, second only to the C60, but that wasn’t always the case, with the C65 name having been on quite a journey to get where it is today.
The C65 name was first used in 2014 when CW took the 43mm C60 case used for the Mk2 C60 and switched the rotating dive bezel with a fixed thin steel one to essentially create a dress style C60 which they called the C65 Classic.
In 2016, coinciding with the introduction of the current Christopher Ward logo, CW introduced the C65 Classic Mk2 - that had a more polished case compared to the Mk1.
In 2016 CW also took the 38mm C60 case and revised the styling to create the C65 Trident Classic Vintage - this watch. It was the first real hint of what was to come with the C65 range and is the forerunner to the C65 Retro Diver range and the C65 Military range we know today.
I've got a real soft spot for this model - it was my third CW purchase!
