Christopher Ward C60 Trident 300 43mm

The Mk1 C60 Trident hit the watch world in 2009, but it was only available with an automatic movement. It wasn’t until 2015 and the arrival of the Mk2 Trident, that Christopher Ward introduced their first Quartz C60 model, which they named the Trident 300, after its 300m water depth rating (The Mk2 Pro was rated to 600m). The C60 300 is visually very similar to the Mk1 C60 Trident Pro, with just a couple of visual clues: 1) It doesn’t say “Trident Pro” on the face and 2) the second hand ticks instead of sweeps.

This is a July 2021 watch which wears the current CW logo which was introduced in 2017 to replace the previous CHR. WARD version - I call it the Mk2.5.

Being a quartz model, it doesn’t have the taller, tapered case back of its automatic cousin, so it sits a little lower on the wrist. For me, it actually sits much better on my 19cm wrist than the autos do!

Like the Mk1 C60s, the Mk3 also doesn’t have a quartz model available, so this watch is one of the last quartz C60 Tridents ever sold by CW.

It also happens to be the last new-condition C60 300 that I have, so if you want a new quartz C60, this will likely be your last chance to get one.

The transferable movement warranty is valid until July 2026.

Condition

Supplied as a ‘full set’ including original bamboo case with warranty card, polishing cloth and a covering letter explaining it’s a historic model, so printed User Manuals had run out. Instead in directs you to the PDF version mentioned below.
