Christopher Ward C60 Mk2 Bronze

Introduction

Here we have the original and first bronze C60 Trident. It was based on the Mk2 C60 and was an instant hit when it was launched in 2017, paving the way for various C60 and C65 bronze editions. It was retired three years later with the arrival of the Mk3 C60 bronze model.

How do the Mk2 and Mk3 bronze C60s differ?

• Size: the Mk2 was available in 38mm and 43mm, the new/current Mk3 is 40mm.

• Face: on the Mk2 it’s a flat/matte navy blue, whereas the Mk3 has a lighter, distressed look.

• Case: as well as the different size, the case design on the Mk3 gives it a slimmer look compared to the Mk2

• Hands: the Mk2 has quite traditional style hands, but the Mk3 has straight/modern hands

• Price: The Mk2 used to sell at £800, whereas the Mk3 costs £905 (available here)

Warranty

This watch was sold by CW in November 2017, so the CW movement warranty has expired and it comes with a Ward Hoard three month warranty.

Strap and options

It comes fitted with the original CW blue, quick-release, canvas strap that it also very lightly used and in fantastic condition.

Other options are an exchange for a brand new blue CW hybrid or new CW brown leather vintage oak strap (+£20) or head only (discount of £30).

Condition

It is very lightly worn and is in fantastic condition. It’s obviously developed a slight patina over the last few years.

If you like the bright, raw bronze look, that can be brought back with a quick soda/lemon juice clean (no shortage of guides on the web).

Timing isn’t too shabby at +1 spd.

Offered as a full set, box and papers with user book, polishing cloth and warranty card.
