CHRISTOPHER WARD C5 MALVERN AUTOMATIC MK3
Introduction:
The first rule of Christopher Ward Anorak Club is to know the C5 Malvern Automatic was their first watchand the one that put them on the map!
The 38mm C5 Malvern Mk1 had a great run and was available between 2005 and 2012. The Mk2 went up to 39mm and filled the period between 2012 and 2016. The Mk3 stayed at 39mm and was launched in 2017 at a cost of £500 for the leather and £580 on the bracelet before being retired in mid 2020.
The watch for sale here is the third iteration of that classic piece, without which the CW story might have been very different!
The Mk3 case design is far more shapely than its slab-sided cousins, giving it quite a slimline look - it’s only 10mm tall, but looks even less thanks to the case design.
Warranty
It comes with a Ward Hoard three month warranty.
Strap:
It’s fitted with a new CW black leather strap.
If you’d prefer another strap, please ask - happy to swap out for another leather/hybrid/tide at no cost change, or can offer head only for a discount of £40.
Condition
It’s in beautiful condition - no marks, scratches or dings of any note.
On the timegrapher it’s registering approx. +3 sec per day, so inside COSC specifications, despite not being a COSC certified watch.
Offered as a full set with box, owner’s book, warranty card and polishing cloth.
