Christopher Ward C60 Trident 600 GMT Mk2 38mm

Christopher Ward launched the Mk2 C60 Trident Pro 600 in early 2015. By far its biggest improvement over the Mk1 was the ultra scratch-resistant ceramic bezel and another new arrival with the Mk2 was the availability of a 38mm GMT model - the Mk1 GMT was only ever available in the 43mm case size.

The watch for sale here is a 38mm black bezel, black face Mk2 GMT model. C60 GMT watches feature an additional hour hand which takes 24 hours to complete one rotation of the dial (so 12 midnight is at the usual 12 o’clock and 12 noon is at the usual 6 o’clock), making it a perfect international travel partner. This is because you can set the regular hands to your local time and the GMT hand to ‘home’, so you can instantly see the time at home and avoid accidentally calling your partner at 3 in the morning to say “hi” and tell them about your day! By rotating the bezel, and therefore moving midnight to elsewhere on the dial, you can create a third time zone.

Condition
It’s a January 2017 watch, so it recently ticked past its fifth birthday, but if you were to guess the age on condition alone you’d say it’s far younger.

The original CW black leather strap is in very good used condition. It’s been given an extra hole on the strap which has been quite well done, but is missing its second tail retaining loop - a trivial issue, but one I wanted to highlight regardless.

The Sapphire and bezel are spotless and the case is in fantastic condition - just the occasional very feint mark which look much worse in the photos than the do in the flesh.

It’s supplied as a full box and papers including owner’s book with Certificate of Authenticity, unused polishing cloth and a copy of the standard covering letter.

On the timegrapher it’s keeping almost perfect time at approx. -1sec per day - well inside the +/-20sec stated by CW for this model and even well inside the -4/+6sec expected of COSC certified models (which this watch is not).

In summary, it’s a fantastic condition example of a lovely GMT diver in perfect working order.

User Manual

Christopher Ward don’t have the exact correct PDF manual available on the website, but they do have the Mk2.5 version available, which is the same technically, but slightly different cosmetically due to the logo change: https://www.christopherward.com/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-cw-library/default/dwb9af38a3/pdfs/Dive/c60-trident-gmt-600-v2.pdf
