Christopher Ward C60 Mk2 Trident Pro 600 316L Black Limited Edition

Introduction

The original C60 Trident Pro was launched in 2009 and was an instant hit . 2015 saw the introduction of the Mk2 C60 and a in 2017 CW started a four-watch series of 316L Limited editions - so called because they all featured a 316-grade stainless steel metal bezel instead of the usual ceramic insert. The first had a bright orange face, then came a more subtle blue. In 2018 we got the right yellow, then last up in 2019 came the black edition, which is the one for sale here. When available from CW, the selling price was £730 for the leather model and £800 for the bracelet version. They sold out in 2020, so are no longer available from CW.

Warranty

This watch comes with the warranty card dated March 2019, so the Christopher Ward warranty is valid through to March 2024. Depending on the purchase date, it will also benefit from a 90 day Ward Hoard warranty.

Straps

Fitted with a brand new Maratac composite rubber strap, with complimentary yellow sides, stitching and lining.

Price includes this strap - other options are:

• Fitted with a CW black hybrid or leather strap: increase of £35;

• Fitted with a CW Mk2 stainless steel bracelet with polished centre links: increase of £110.

Condition

It’s a well-used watch offered in fair condition. The bezel on most of these is a scratch magnet and this one is no exception. There are also some light scratches on the sapphire and marks on the lugs where the strap has been changed. Currently running at -7 seconds per day.

If you are particular about the condition of your watches, this isn’t one for you. If, however, you consider that watches are meant to be worn no matter what you are doing and that battle scars tell a story, this one represents phenomenal value as a high quality automatic.
