**NOW SOLD, BUT ANOTHER ONE ARRIVING w/c 1 JULY**

Christopher Ward C8 Power Reserve Chronometer

Introduction

The C8 Power Reserve was the first aviation style watch to be fitted with CW’s famous SH21 movement with its 120 hour power reserve. In the case of this watch, it’s the hand-wound SH21 with power reserve and small seconds sub dials - about as good as they come!

As with all SH21-powered watches, it’s a COSC certified Chronometer.

It’s a pretty large watch at 44mm, but thanks to being a hand crank, it stands at just 11mm tall and sits surprisingly well, even on small-medium wrists. The lack of rotor also means you get the best possible view of that stunning SH21 engineering through the huge exhibition case back.

It was launched in August 2016 and was officially retired in 2019, so most C8 PRs are dated between 2016-2019, however a few did briefly surface in 2020 and 2021.

For sale here is the less common steel finish version and one of the last ones to come out.

Warranty

It’s a July 2021 watch, so the CW manufacturer warranty is valid to July 2026

Strap options

It comes on a fabulous CW tiber brown leather strap. Other options - exchange for a brand new Black tiber CW strap (no cost change). Head only - discount of £40.

Condition

It’s in great condition with only a couple of very light marks.

Supplied with original box, warranty booklet and card, COSC certificate, letter explaining it is a historical model and therefore no printed manual and polishing cloth.

It is keeping timing perfectly on the timegrapher at +/- 0 spd.
