Christopher Ward C7 Apex Limited Edition
Introduction
CW created the C7 Apex in 2018 to celebrate five years since the arrival of their in-house SH21 movement. It was the first CW to feature a semi-skeletonised dial and they went all-out to show off the back of the movement through that huge exhibition case back.
The more time you spend looking at the dial the more amazing details you find. Not only was it the best and most expensive C7 ever created (£3,000), it was one of the best and most expensive CWs ever created!
50 examples were launched for sale in August 2018 and they were all gone by November.
This one is a November 2018 model, one of the last to be sold.
Condition and warranty
This one came to me from a collector who was downsizing his collection and had owned it from new. It is in great condition, but unfortunately the papers have been lost (other than his emailed order confirmation). I’ve obtained a reprinted owner’s manual
It has just had a full service by Christopher Ward and is running within COSC at -3spd. It carries the manufacturer’s 12 month warranty to March 2025 in view of the service performed.
