Christopher Ward C60 Trident 300 43mm

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 August 2016 watch which wears the CHR. WARD logo - in 2017 they switched to the current logo placed at 9 o’clock.

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 19cm 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’s sat for a few days, this Mk2 could make a great solution.

Condition

It’s in good used 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, so you’ll find a few light ones around the 46-48 minute area and one at 59 minutes. There are also a few light marks on the case back which look like they might have been caused by a NATO strap.

It’s fitted with a brand new black Maratac composite rubber strap with orange stitching.

Supplied in its original inner and outer cases with user manual and Certificate of Authenticity.

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/dw9569c4f7/pdfs/Dive/c60-trident-300-v2.pdf
