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 48.
Warranty
It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.
Strap
Fitted with a brand new CW tan vintage oak leather strap with quick release spring bars.
Price includes this strap - other options are:
Exchange for a brand new CW hybrid, tropic or another colour leather: no cost change.
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 in good condition, with just some light scuffs - the most noticeable scuff between the ‘60’ and ‘05’.
Comes complete with box, (replacement) cushion, covering letter, owner’s manual with certificate of authenticity, and unused cleaning cloth. No COSC certificate.
