CHRISTOPHER WARD C7 RAPIDE CHRONOGRAPH MKII

Introduction

This watch has to be one of the most cost-effective ways to get a Christopher Ward on your wrist.

It’s C7 Rapide Chronograph MkII, introduced in 2012 and ran until its retirement in 2017.

For most CW quartz chronographs the 1/10th of a second hand only moves into position once the timer is stopped, but thanks to the Ronda 3540.D used in MkIIs, it features a constantly sweeping 10th-sec chrono dial (the top one), which I think makes for a more satisfying user experience!

Warranty

It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.

Strap options

It comes on a black CW leather strap in used condition with plenty of life left in it.

Other options - swap for a brand new CW black hybrid or leather (extra £20).

Condition

The watch head is in excellent condition with only minor blemishes to indicate that it’s been used. The alloy bezel (which are known to get marked on more well used examples) is almost perfect.

It comes complete with watch box in great condition, covering letter and owner’s handbook.

It had a new battery fitted by CW in February 2023 so it should be good for at least another year at least.
