Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 1 38mm

Introduction

The ‘public’ military models started with a batch of C65s in 2019. They were the Dartmouth (named after the Royal Naval School), the Cranwell (named after the RAF College) and the Sandhurst (named after the The Royal Military Academy where army officers are trained).

In August 2020 CW added a fourth military model, the Lympstone. And in 2021 the Colchester joined the party (developed for and in conjunction with the British Army's Parachute Regiment).

Based on the Smiths W10, its 38mm case is in line with the trend for smaller cases, while the sleek mid-century design is ultra-legible and impossibly cool.
