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 or the Mk2 Trident, that Christopher Ward introduced their first Quartz C60 model, which they named the Trident 300, after its 300m water depth rating (it’s automatic Mk2 big brother was called the Trident 600 Pro after its 600m depth rating).

For sale in this listing is a July 2017 watch which wears the current CW logo (replacing the previous CHR. WARD version), so this is one of the first watches to sport this logo. Because it’s a Mk2, but with the current logo, I call it a 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 if you’re looking for a quartz C60, the Mk2 or Mk2.5s are your only options.

Condition

It’s in very good used condition and is fitted with a brand new black Maratac composite rubber strap with orange stitching. When you first open it up you could think it’s a brand new watch, but when you get in close you can see slight signs of use. There’s not really any damage to report, but you can see a very light mark on the top right lug in certain lights - it looks worse in the photos (where the marks are highlighted in my LED photo cube) than it does in the flesh. With a bit of Cape Cod time, you could have it looking like new.

It’s recently come back from CW with a new battery, so can be assured it’s fully waterproof and should be good for the next 3-4 years.

Supplied as an almost full set including original black case, user manual with Certificate of Authenticity and covering letter. The only thing missing is the polishing cloth.
