CHRISTOPHER WARD C65 TRIDENT DIVER GMT WORLDTIMER

Introduction

When Christopher Ward launched the retro style C65 Trident Diver in 2018 they will have hoped it was a success, but I doubt they were expecting it to be quite as successful as it has been. It’s been a great seller and has already spawned many different iterations and special editions. It’s retro good looks and 41mm case size mean it looks great on almost any wrist and with any clothing.

When available from CW they cost £995 on leather/rubber/canvas and £1,095 on a bracelet.

It’s powered by the automatic GMT Sellita SW330 movement. If you’re not familiar with GMT watches, they feature an additional hour hand which takes 24 hours to complete one rotation of the dial - making it a perfect international travel partner. This is because you can set the regular hands to your local time and the 24h GMT hand to ‘home’, so you can instantly see the time and home and avoid accidentally calling your partner at 3 in the morning to say “hi”! By rotating the bezel, and therefore moving ‘midnight’ to elsewhere on the dial, you can create a third time zone.
