Christopher Ward C60 Concept

Introduction

A simply stunning watch. In my view, it isn’t just the pinnacle of the C60 family, but the pinnacle of whole Christopher Ward catalogue! It’s CW’s first skeleton watch. It was at the time the most expensive watch they’ve ever made. But if you look at what you get, it’s actually cheap! How many skeletonised, Titanium, 120 hour reserve, COSC certified, 300m dive watches have you seen for this kind of money? Imagine the price tag if it had an Omega or Audemars logo on the face instead of a CW twin flag?! This is the watch-making equivalent of Swindon Town knocking Man City out of the FA cup with a 10-0 scoreline - they’ve smashed it!

It was launched in November 2021 as a limited run of 210 watches and sold out in a matter of weeks - long before CW had actually made all 210 watches! It cost £3,450 on a rubber strap or £3,725 on a Titanium bracelet.

Here’s what CW say about the C60 Concept: “An extraordinary limited-edition timepiece – created to showcase a remarkable movement. With a level of finishing unheard of at this price, the titanium C60 Concept is a homage to our Calibre SH21 movement. Its skeletonised construction gives you a front-row seat into the workings below, while the exquisite design delivers fascination with every second. Though with only 210 in production, the watch’s supply – like time itself – is finite.”

Condition

Offered in very good condition.

It’s keeping very good time at -5 spd on the timegrapher.

It’s a Dec 2021 watch (2/12/21 to be exact!), so the CW warranty is valid until Dec 2026.

It comes with user manual, warranty card and polishing cloth. It also comes with its COSC certificate and the original jigsaw that was included with the package on purchase (opened and completed once!).
