CHRISTOPHER WARD C3 GT CHRONOGRAPH

The C3 goes back, way back, to 2005 when CW had just two launch models: the C5 auto and the C3 chronograph quartz. The watch for sale in this listing takes the C3 Mk3 as its base and adds a decidedly motorsport-inspired face design. It was launched in May 2018 with either green, white or blue face. The original selling price when available was £395 on leather or £500 on the mesh bracelet.

This particular blue face with brown leather strap option was retired in 2019 (the selling price at the time was £395), but this was one of a handful which found their way into a brief January 2020 release, making it one of the last/youngest batch to leave CW. It’s also one of the last quartz models CW made.

Few would disagree when I say that the C3 got better with each release. By the time they reached the Mk3 the pushers had been refined to give a lovely action - a very nice quality ‘thunk’ when they’re pressed! The deep metallic blue dial catches and reflects any available light and the silver batons are a classy touch.

Strap

It’s currently on a tan leather CW strap. If you’d rather have it on a CW stainless mesh bracelet I can switch it for an additional £90 fee. (The CW price is £165).

Condition
The watch is in brand new, unworn condition. Supplied as a ‘full set’ including bamboo case, owner’s book, warranty card and unused polishing cloth.

Final Notes

• Note the first six photographs are library shots, the rest all show the actual watch and package.

• The final image shows the optional upgrade to a CW mesh bracelet. It would cost an extra £90 to switch to mesh. Or an extra £130 to have both straps.
