SOLD WH643 C11 MSL Chronograph PVD (10/2012)
Christopher Ward C11 MSL Chronograph
Introduction
The C11 is one of a few ‘square’ watches produced by Christopher Ward over the years - the others are the C13/C15 Henley from 2008 and a brief appearance from the C5 Malvern Slim Square in 2016/17.
The C11 Chronograph (quartz) for sale here is one of the two C11 launch models and is one of the first to wear the then ‘new’ CHR. WARD logo (the other C11 launch watch was the non-chrono automatic). The C11s arrived in 2011, were well received and started a long line of aviation and dive style C11 model variations.
The silver models were the better sellers at the time, so the PVD model here is certainly one if the rarer C11s.
This particular watch was sold in 2012, making it just over a decade old at time of writing. These chronos have become pretty collectable over the years and are becoming increasing difficult to come by, especially in nice condition - so it’s not like there’s ever a selection to choose from!
Warranty
Comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.

The head is in great overall condition. It’s a one owner watch - how do I know? Well the name on the invoice is the same as the person I bought it from!
