Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT

Introduction

Described as a classic ‘GMT-explorer’ watch the C63 Sealander GMT made its debut in April 2021. Crafted from anti-corrosive 316L stainless steel, the C63 Sealander GMT boasts a fixed 24-hour bezel, an oversized GMT hand in bright orange and a high-legibility dial. Powered by the new Sellita SW330-2 GMT movement, the wearer is able to track a second time zone, day or night, anywhere in the world.

There’s undeniable resemblance to a 42mm Rolex Explorer II (albeit with batons instead of pips), but at 39mm, the Christopher Ward version probably has a bit more flexibility… and at £7,000+ cheaper, it represents a small advantage on the value front, too!

This is a current CW model, available here for £1,060. It has the latest twin flag logo.

Warranty

This is a December 2022 watch, so the transferable movement warranty is valid to December 2027.

It’s fitted with the SW330-2 movement, so you get a 56h power reserve, as opposed to the 42h of the SW330-1 - a noticeable improvement

Strap options

It is fitted with a new style CW bracelet with twin screw adjustment complete with all links. Some scratches and scrapes, particularly on the clasp.

Priced with this strap - other options are:

• Exchange for a brand new CW strap - leather, hybrid or tide (discount of £80).

• Without a strap: discount of £125.

Condition

Very good condition. It has been worn but no identifiable dings or damage to report.

On the timegrapher it’s keeping very good time at -9 sec per day.

Offered as a full set including box, owner’s manual, polishing cloth, covering letter and warranty card.
