Christopher Ward C70 BRG Limited Edition

Introduction

The C70 BRG is a 500-piece Limited Edition watch was launched in March 2013. Born from the success of the Grand Prix series, this is a limited edition of 500 pieces in the popular British Racing Green colour that sold out in March 2014. This August 2014 piece, number 318/500 presumably a ‘back of the sofa find’ is one of the later ones you’ll find.

Warranty

As it is no longer covered by CW’s original warranty, this watch comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.

Strap options

Fitting with a brand new black leather strap of the right era. Exchange for a modern leather, hybrid or tide at no additional cost. Or if you would prefer head only, I can offer a discount of £40.

As with the bezels and cases, CW no longer has any stock of replacement straps.

Condition

The C70’s exposed alloy bezel and thinly applied paint make it notoriously delicate, so finding one in good condition is becoming increasingly challenging (CW has long since exhausted its supply of replacement bezels/cases).

This example has been used and enjoyed. It is in fair condition with multiple scratches and scuffs on the bezel and the price reflects this.

This watch is offered in a CW travel pod with its owner’s manual.
