CHRISTOPHER WARD C3 MALVERN Mk2 CHRONOGRAPH

Introduction

The C3 Malvern Chronograph was released along with the C5 Malvern Automatic as one of Christopher Ward's first two watches in June 2005. The Mk 1 version is a 40mm tri-compax quartz chronograph with a date window at 4:00, marked by an arrow, and applied Arabic indices for the other hours. The three-level dial has subdials for running seconds at 2:00, elapsed 1/10 seconds at 6:00 and a 30-minute chronograph register at 10:00

Techically and functionally the same as the Mk 1, the C3 Malvern Chronograph Mk II was introduced in July 2012. The key developments are stylistic: a reduction of the case diameter to 39mm; a reduction of the lug width to 18mm, and a reworked one-piece galvanic dial. It also introduced some new colours, including this beautiful charcoal dial.
