Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro Automatic Mk1.5 43mm

Introduction

The Mk1 C60 Trident hit the watch world in 2009. It was available in a Henry Ford style ‘any colour you want, as long as it’s black’. The initial price of just £300 was a ridiculous bargain and the watch was an instant hit.

Fast forward to 2012, CW introduced the CHR. WARD logo (replacing the original round CW icon) and also added orange/black, red/red, green/green, charcoal/black, khaki/black and finally the blue/blue model you see here. I call these the Mk1.5 models as they’re essentially Mk1s, but with the new logo and new colours. It’s such a fabulous blue, CW hit the nail on the head with this colour.

The price for those Mk1.5 CHR. WARD models was £440 for a rubber/leather model and £510 on the bracelet - still a fantastic deal compared to other Swiss divers which use the same movement - of which there are plenty.

This particular watch does not have its papers so its date is unknown, but it is likely between 2012 and 2014 (although it could be a later ‘archive’ model in view of its excellent, lightly worn condition).

Warranty

It doesn’t have papers, and the five year CW warranty would have long expired in any event, so it comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.

Strap

As requested, sold head only for Daniel, a £80 discount on the original price of £355

Condition

The watch head really is in lovely condition.

These Mk1/Mk1.5 models feature applied aluminium bezel inserts which are fairly easily marked compared to the ceramic Mk2/Mk3 cousins.

The bezel on this one is in fabulous condition, with just one tiny mark between 20 and 25. The rest of the case is in very good used condition with various light marks, but no scratches or other damage to mention.

Keeping good time at +16 spd.
