Christopher Ward C7 Rapide Mk2 42mm
Introduction
It’s a bit of a puzzle this one. It has the chronometer bezel from the C7 Rapide ETA 251.264 COSC calibre, but it doesn’t have the different dial layout to the Ronda 3540.D of the standard model.
So my best guess is that the bezel from a standard model has been replaced with a chronometer bezel at some point, but it may have been put together by CW from the parts bin as it is an archive find - one of the last made and sold in June 2018, long after both models have been retired.
Warranty
It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.
Strap
Fitted with a brand new CW Vintage oak black leather strap and supplied in a CW box with certificate of authenticity.
Price includes this strap - other options are:
Without a strap: discount of £40.
Condition
In very good, used condition. The bezels are notorious for scratching and flaking - this one is pretty good as they go, with just just a few marks as shown in the photos.
As an archive find, it does not come with an owner’s manual or COSC certificate, but does come with a certificate of authenticity.
