Christopher Ward C70 British Grand Prix 1926 Chronometer Chronograph Limited Edition
Introduction
If you’re looking at this listing and considering spending a decent amount on a quartz Christopher Ward watch, I expect you already know all about the C70 range and you already know exactly what you’re looking at, so I’ll just jump straight to the good stuff:
As you already know, the C70 GB and C70 DBR1s were the most popular models. For sale here we have number 500 of 500 of the C70 GB1926 COSC. The Certificate of Authenticity is signed by Chris Ward himself (I can count on the fingers of one hand how often I’ve seen that). The watch is in virtually unworn condition - original protective vinyls still in place.
It comes as a ‘full set’ complete with original deluxe wooden case, COSC certificate, covering letter, unused polishing cloth and original owner’s manual with Certificate of Authenticity.
Specs:
Diameter: 42mm
Height: 11.8mm
Calibre: ETA 251.264 COSC
