CHRISTOPHER WARD C65 TRIDENT AUTOMATIC BLUE/BLUE

Introduction

When Christopher Ward launched the retro style C65 Trident Diver in 2018 they will have hoped it was a success, but I doubt they were expecting it to be quite as successful as it has been. It’s been a great seller and has already spawned many different iterations and special editions.

The earlier models (as identified by having batten hour markers) all had hand-wound movements. They were available with black, green or blue faces (plus a few limited edition specials).

In Jan 2019 CW introduced an automatic version, easily identified by its spots or ‘pips’ for hour markers. There was a black/black, a red/black and this, the blue/blue - all of which are no longer available from CW.

Warranty

Whilst it comes with its box and papers, the warranty card has been lost, so it comes with a Ward Hoard three month warranty.

Strap options

It comes on a CW blue hybrid strap in great condition.

If you would prefer it on a leather or tide strap, please ask and I’ll sort out some options.

If you would prefer it head only, discount of £40.

Condition

On the timegrapher it is keeping great time, running at -2 sec per day.

It’s in good used condition - there are some light scuffs to the bezel and light scratches to the top right lug as shown in the photos.

It comes in the original CW bamboo case with polishing cloth - however, it is missing the warranty card and owner’s manual (available online - see below).
