Christopher Ward C7 Rapide Mk3 Quartz

Launched in August 2017, this model is part of the complete remake of the C7 Rapide Motorsport family. Features include a new 4 part case, bicompax dial and the introduction of the "Twin Flag" logo at 12 o'clock. The Christopher Ward word mark is missing from the dial - the beginning of the end of that rebranding!

This range is now discontinued, which I think is a real shame - the case design in particular was something special. The texture of the dial is also fabulous.

Warranty

It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.

Strap

Fitted with a brand new CW vintage oak leather strap. 

Price includes this strap - other options are:

• Without a strap: discount of £40.

Condition

Overall it is in pretty good condition. The bezels on these are made of aluminium so often suffer damage, but this one is pretty good, with just a couple of marks around the ‘55’ and between the ‘10 and ‘15’ as shown in the photos.

Battery was replaced at Timpson’s in November 2022 so should be good for another year or two. The battery comes with a lifetime guarantee - if you are UK based, you can take it to any Timpson’s when the battery runs out for free replacement for life!

Comes boxed with owner’s manual and certificate of authenticity, cleaning cloth, original covering letter.
