Christopher Ward C60 Mk2 Bronze

Here we have the original and first bronze C60 Trident. It was based on the Mk2 C60 and was an instant hit when it was launched in 2017, paving the way for various C60 and C65 bronze editions. It was retired three years later with the arrival of the Mk3 C60 bronze model.

How do the Mk2 and Mk3 bronze C60s differ?

• Size: the Mk2 was available in 38mm and 43mm, the new Mk3 is 40mm (and they’ve since done some 42mm LEs).

• Face: on the Mk2 it’s a flat/matte navy blue, whereas the Mk3 has a lighter, distressed look.

• Case: as well as the different size, the case design on the Mk3 gives it a slimmer look compared to the Mk2

• Hands: the Mk2 has quite traditional style hands, but the Mk3 has straight/modern hands

• Price: The Mk2 used to sell at £800. The Mk3 costs £895 (available here)

This watch was sold by CW on 30th November 2017, so the (transferable) movement warranty is valid until November this year.

Condition

It’s fitted with the original CW blue, quick-release, canvas strap in good used condition.

The head is in very good used condition, with light marks from use and plenty of patina and fingerprints! There is no damage as such to mention. If you prefer the raw bright bronze look there are plenty of easy guides on the web showing you how to bring that back.

I’ve just given the high spots on the bezel a quick rub to make them pop a bit.
