CHRISTOPHER WARD C65 TRIDENT CLASSIC

Introduction

In 2014 Christopher Ward took the case they used for the C60 dive watch, binned the rotating bezel and made a dress version, which they named the C65 Trident Classic. It’s one of only a handful of CW watches which was available with a PVD rose gold-plated finish including matching gold bracelet - the others include early C3, 4 and 5 models. Although it’s called a rose gold model, it looks more yellow gold to me.

It was a relatively short run series - it went into production in May 2014 and ceased in March 2016.

The watch for sale here has no papers, but is likely to do from that era unless it is an archive find.

Warranty

It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.

Condition
The watch is in amazing condition, having clearly had very little wrist time.

There are occasional light marks on the bezel, but it is in remarkable condition for its age. The bracelet is also in superb condition with some of its plastic intact. The bracelet also has the ratchet (on the go) micro adjustment.

On the timegrapher it’s keeping decent time at +14sec per day.

Supplied in original inner and outer CW boxes and polishing cloth.
