CHRISTOPHER WARD C65 TRIDENT DIVER

Christopher Ward first used the C65 name in 2014 when they introduced a 43mm dress style variation of the Mk2 C60 dive watch called the C65 Trident Classic. Next came a C65 Trident Classic Vintage, which used a variation of the 38mm Mk2 C60 case in 2016.

CW first dipped their toe into the ‘retro dive’ water in mid 2018 with the hand-wound C65 Trident Diver, which was available with either blue, green or black face at a cost of £700. Unlike the previous two C65s, which were variations of C60s, the C65 Trident Diver was an all-new design and it proved to be an instant hit, paving the way for all manor of new models and special editions and arguably challenging the C60 for the most popular model crown.

The C65 Trident Diver uses a 41mm case which sits perfectly on pretty much any size wrist. Its slim and sculpted case and bezel sit well below the super-strong and scratch resistant sapphire crystal, making it appear even slimmer than its stated 11.5mm height.

The watch for sale here was originally sold in Jan 2019. The transferable movement warranty is valid until Jan 2024.

Condition:
This is a used watch in fantastic condition. There are a couple of tiny blemishes which indicate it’s been worn, but overall I’d say the head is in 99.5% new condition.

It’s fitted with the original CW tan leather strap and also comes with an aftermarket NATO. The CW strap is in good used condition. It’s showing signs of wear and has a couple of black marks, but has plenty of life left in it.

On the Timegrapher it’s showing as keeping near perfect time at -1sec per day - well within COSC specifications (despite not being a COSC Certified model and miles inside CW’s +/-15sec tolerance.

It comes as a ‘full set’ complete with original box and including owner’s book with Certificate of Authenticity, covering letter and unused polishing cloth.
