Christopher Ward C60 Trident Chronograph Pro 600
Introduction
The automatic C60 Chronograph was launched in 2016 at a cost of £1,400 (or £1,450 on a bracelet).
It’s 43mm across (excluding crown), it stands at a none-too-shy 17mm tall and it weighs at a hefty 230 grams on a full length bracelet - so it’s no surprise to learn these Mk2 C60 Chronos are affectionately known at The Beast! They’re not all brute force and ignorance though. When you start looking in closely you can see many nice details, like the polished detailing on the case, the metalic sub dial rings contrasting against the dark blue, multi-layer face with Guilloche waves. I particularly like the ‘breather’ running second hand dial - a relatively unusual feature.
At its heart is the famous and trusty ETA 7750 Valjoux movement - as used in the current £1,800 C60 and C65 Chronograph models. The same calibre can be found inside many other premium watch brands such as Breitling, TAG Heuer, Panerai, Omega, IWC etc.
This model has the older style Chr Ward logo which some prefer.
Warranty
It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.
Strap options
Currently on a very good used CW bracelet with micro adjust ratchet with spare links.
Exchange for a new tide, leather or hybrid, discount of £80
Head only - discount of £120
Condition
Offered boxed with owner’s handbook and a chronograph service from August 2022.
It has been used and there are light scratches on the case, but certainly nothing significant or to worry about.
As you can see from the timegrapher photo, it’s keeping good time within spec.
