Christopher Ward Mk3 C60 Trident Elite 1000 Limited Edition

Introduction

Christopher Ward doesn’t use the Elite name lightly. It first appeared in 2009 on the C600 Tri-Tech Diver Elite, which was the C60’s 500m (C60s were 300m), more technically advanced big brother. Next in 2012 came the C11 Titanium Elite. Those 500 watches have gone on to become the most desirable C11 model. After a five year break, the Elite name was revived for 2019’s Mk3 C60 Trident Elite 1000 Limited Edition - a 300 piece run of Titanium C60s which sold out in a matter of months.

That limited model was launched in mid 2019 as part of the original Mk3 C60 launch range.

It comes with a helium release valve and Grade 2 titanium case and is water-resistant to 1000m (100 ATM). This watch has an application of Grade X1 GL C1 Super-LumiNova® to create a fully lumed bezel.

It’s no shrinking violet with a 14.6mm height, but if you want a big, brash diver’s watch that has 1000m water resistance (like you’d ever need it!), this one is for you. Being Titanium, it is incredibly light despite its bulk.

This watch is one of the rarer, limited editions - you don't see these very often.
