WH561 C60 Trident Pro Automatic Mk1 orange bezel (05/2013)
Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro Automatic Mk1.5 43mm
Introduction
The Mk1 C60 Trident hit the watch world in 2009. It was available in a Henry Ford style ‘any colour you want, as long as it’s black’. The initial price of just £300 was a ridiculous bargain and the watch was an instant hit.
Fast forward to 2012, CW introduced the CHR. WARD logo (replacing the original round CW icon) and also added orange/black, red/red, green/green, charcoal/black, khaki/black and the blue/blue models. I call these the Mk1.5 models as they’re essentially Mk1s, but with the new logo and new colours.
This one is the orange/black model - you don’t see many of these, especially in this condition.
Warranty
It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.
Strap
It comes on a very lightly used CW black tropic strap.
Priced with this strap - exchange for a CW hybrid or leather, no cost change, exchange for a bracelet, increase of £80, head only, discount of £40.
Condition
These Mk1/Mk1.5 models feature applied aluminium bezel inserts which are fairly easily marked compared to the ceramic Mk2/Mk3 cousins.
The bezel on this one looks perfect save for a tiny mark at 57. The rest of the case is also in fabulous condition.
Keeping brilliant time at +3 spd on the timegrapher.
