Christopher Ward C7 Rapide Chronograph COSC Limited Edition Mk3 Quartz

Introduction

Launched in August 2017, this model is one of the Mk3 C7 Rapide Motorsport family. Features included a new 4 part case, bicompax dial and the introduction of the "Twin Flag" logo at 12 o'clock rather than the Christopher Ward word mark. A trailblazer in so many ways!

This range is now discontinued, which I think is a real shame - the case design in particular was something special with those sculpted lugs.

The COSC model was a limited edition of 500 - this one is number 150.

Warranty

As a June 2018 watch, the five year CW warranty has now expired, so it comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.

Strap

Fitted with a CW tan vintage oak leather strap with quick release spring bars in exceptional condition. 

Price includes this strap - other options are:

• With a brand new vintage oak leather: increase of £10.

• Without a strap: discount of £35.

Condition

Overall it is in pretty good condition. The bezels on these are made of aluminium so often suffer damage, but this one is in good condition, with the most noticeable scuff between the ‘60’ and ‘05’.

Comes complete with box, original invoice, owner’s manual with certificate of authenticity, COSC certificate and unused cleaning cloth.
