CHRISTOPHER WARD C65 TRIDENT GMT

When Christopher Ward launched the retro style C65 Trident Diver in 2018 they will have hoped it was a success, but I doubt they were expecting it to be quite as successful as it has been. It’s been a great seller and has already spawned many different iterations.

The watch for sale here is a black-faced GMT model - which seem to come up a lot less often than the more popular/common blue edition. If you’re not familiar with GMT watches, they feature an additional hour hand which takes 24 hours to complete one rotation of the dial - making it a perfect international travel partner. This is because you can set the regular hands to your local time and the 24h GMT hand to ‘home’, so you can instantly see the time and home and avoid accidentally calling your partner at 3 in the morning to say “hi”! By rotating the bezel, and therefore moving ‘midnight’ to elsewhere on the dial, you can create a third time zone.

This is an August 2018 watch, so the transferable movement warranty is valid until August 2023.

Strap Options

• Available on the VGC used bracelet for £800

• On a new (removed from brand new watch) CW leather for £700

• Or have both straps for £850

Condition:
It’s fitted with its original CW stainless bracelet and is in fantastic condition.

I can’t see any marks at all on the head - but it is a used watch, so you may find signs of used under magnified inspection.

The bracelet has picked up a few light marks including on the clasp as you’d expect, but I’d say it’s had very little use. One link has been removed from the bracelet which is included.

It’s in perfect working order and keeping perfect time.

It a ‘full set’ watch and comes in the original CW box with original covering letter, unused polishing cloth and user book with certificate of Authenticity. The original sales invoice (owner details removed) is also including showing a purchase price of £870.
