Christopher Ward C60 Trident 300 Quartz 38mm

Introduction

The Mk1 C60 Trident hit the watch world in 2009, but it was only available with an automatic movement. It wasn’t until 2015 and the arrival or the Mk2 Trident, that Christopher Ward introduced their first Quartz C60 model, which they named the Trident 300, after its 300m water depth rating. The C60 300 is visually very similar to the Mk1 C60 Trident Pro, with just a couple of visual clues: 1) It just says “Trident” on the face, not “Trident Pro” and 2) the second hand ticks instead of sweeps.

This is an earlier watch which wears the CHR. WARD logo - in 2017 they switched to the current logo placed at 9 o’clock so one of the later ones.

Being a quartz model, it doesn’t have the taller, tapered case back of its automatic cousin, so it sits a little lower on the wrist. For me, it actually sits much better on my wrist than the autos do!

Like the Mk1 C60s, the Mk3 also doesn’t have a quartz model available, so if you’re looking for a good value, daily wearable Christopher Ward which doesn’t need setting after it has sat for a few days, this Mk2 could make a great solution.

Warranty

It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.

Strap

Fitted with a brand new blue CW hybrid strap. 

Price includes this strap - other options are:

• Without a strap: discount of £40

• Exchange for a brand new CW leather, tide, tropic (no cost change).

Condition

It’s in excellent condition. With the C60 300s all having alloy bezels (as used on the Mk1 Pros), they’re more prone to marks than their ceramic C60 600 Pro big brothers, but this one is almost perfect, with just a couple of very light marks that you really have to look for.

It’s offered as a full set - with its original box and manual with certificate of authenticity as well as a covering letter and cleaning cloth.
