Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Orange

Introduction

Christopher Ward has a history of innovation and generally shaking things up. From 2005’s C5 auto with its ETA 2824 movement at an unprecedented price, to the striking C70 face designs starting in 2009, to the first JJ modified calibre in 2011, to having the ‘audacity’ to create their own 120h power reserve SH21 movement in 2014 - they certainly can’t be accused of always just playing it safe. And the C60 Sapphire for sale in this listing is a perfect example of CW rolling the dice - and in this case, coming up with a double six!

Launched in April 2020, C60 Sapphire was based on the then all new 40mm Mk3 C60 Trident and came with blue translucent face and case back to show off its Sellita automatic heart - it was an instant sales hit, paving the way for orange and black face versions and more recently a Sapphire version of the new C63.

It takes 40 separate processes to make the see-through sapphire dial, backed by a film of coloured polycarbonate (or PVD smoke effect for the black dial), of the C60 Sapphire. This procedure delivers a material that is not only beautiful and scratch-resistant but also incredibly thin (0.6 mm thickness). Similarly, the case back features a coloured sapphire exhibition window made using the same process.
