CHRISTOPHER WARD C9 HARRISON AUTOMATIC
Introduction
Launched in September 2010, the C9 Harrison Automatic is one of the three models issued to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the H4 choronometer created by John Harrison, a famous British horologist, to solve the problem of finding the longitude at sea.
It’s a fabulous, classic piece - the applied gold indices look amazing against the white dial in the sun. It just exudes quality and class.
Warranty
It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.
Condition
This example is in lovely condition. It is a one former owner, worn on special occasions. If you look closely, you can see the odd scratch or scuff on the polished surfaces , but it is very good.

Supplied in its original case with cleaning cloth, owner’s book/certificate of authenticity and a copy of the standard CW covering letter and invoice.
