CHRISTOPHER WARD C65 TRIDENT DIVER
Introduction
Christopher Ward first used the C65 name in 2014 when they introduced a 43mm dress style variation of the Mk2 C60 dive watch called the C65 Trident Classic. Next came a C65 Trident Classic Vintage, which used a variation of the 38mm Mk2 C60 case in 2016.
CW first dipped their toe into the ‘retro dive’ water in mid 2018 with the hand-wound C65 Trident Diver, which was available with either blue, green or black face at a cost of £700. Unlike the previous two C65s, which were variations of C60s, the C65 Trident Diver was an all-new design and it proved to be an instant hit, paving the way for all manor of new models and special editions and arguably challenging the C60 for the most popular model crown.
The C65 Trident Diver uses a 41mm case which sits perfectly on pretty much any size wrist. Its slim and sculpted case and bezel sit well below the super-strong and scratch resistant sapphire crystal, making it appear even slimmer than its stated 11.5mm height.
This is one of the first ones, with a serial number of 022.
