What started as a passion has become one of the most trusted places to buy CW pieces online. We curate every watch carefully, ensure honest condition reporting and photograph each model with the detail we’d want if we were buying it ourselves.
Our goal is simple - to make buying a pre‑owned CW as easy and enjoyable as it can be.
Whether you are dipping your toe into the wonderful world of watches, hunting a discontinued classic, upgrading a daily wearer, or adding something special to your collection, you’ll find it here — accurately described, properly inspected and ready to wear.
We release new stock to our mailing list first. Remaining items are added to the site shortly after.
We also have a sister site - the Second Hand Watch Collective, where you can discover brands other than CW.

Quick facts
Reference: C65 Dune Aeolian Bronze Automatic COSC
Category: Adventure
Size: Small/ Medium
Movement: Automatic
Condition: Excellent
CW (manufacturer) warranty: Expires March 2030
Buy it if you want: a rugged go-anywhere bronze field watch with a textured dial
Description
Introduced in January 2025, the C65 Dune Aeolian Bronze Mk2 builds on the original Dune Bronze COSC by retaining the same 38 mm bronze case, boxed sapphire crystal and compact field‑watch proportions, while shifting the emphasis firmly to dial design. The simple, functional layout remains intact, but the flat dial of the Mk1 is replaced by the Aeolian three‑dimensional, rippled surface, inspired by wind‑shaped sand formations. The bronze case again brings warmth compared with the steel versions, while water resistance remains rated to 150 metres, comfortably exceeding typical field‑watch expectations.
Power still comes from the COSC‑certified Sellita SW200‑1, preserving the same mechanical specification and everyday usability as the earlier model. The removal of the date further cleans up the dial, placing full focus on texture and legibility. As with the Mk1, the bronze case will develop patina over time, ensuring that each example acquires its own character, but here it is balanced by a more expressive dial that clearly distinguishes the Mk2 as an evolution rather than a simple material variation.
Condition and performance
The watch is in excellent condition - no issues identified with case, bezel or crystal. The case has the inevitable patina, which could easily be stripped back with some lemon juice or vinegar.
Supplied on a CW Orlando leather strap in unworn condition.
Comes boxed with owner’s manual, COSC certificate, cleaning cloth and warranty booklet/card.
Timegrapher: Approximately -6 seconds per day.
Strap options
Head only: GBP40 reduction
Replacement of existing strap for a standard unworn CW strap: GBP20 increase
Additional standard unworn CW strap: GBP60 increase

Quick facts
Reference: C1 Bel Canto
Category: Dress / Halo
Size: Medium
Movement: Automatic
Condition: Excellent
CW (manufacturer) warranty: Expires July 2031
Buy it if you want: one of CW’s most distinctive halo models
Description
Bel Canto marked a shift in how Christopher Ward was perceived, introducing a sonnerie au passage that chimes once on the hour and presenting it with an unusually open dial‑side construction. The striking hammer and supporting bridgework are visible on the dial, giving the mechanism space rather than compressing it into a decorative display. The approach follows a line of thinking seen previously in CW’s JJ‑calibre projects, placing a mechanical event directly in view. Finishing is controlled and functional, with lightly chamfered dial structures and a layout that prioritises clarity. The model sold out quickly on release, received significant critical recognition, and established Bel Canto as a technically ambitious watch that built on earlier experimental work within the brand.
Introduced in October 2024, the C1 Bel Canto Classic develops and redefines the original Bel Canto concept, while retaining many key characteristics. A laser-etched guilloché platine combines with Roman numeral indices on the time-telling dial, redesigned unlumed hands, and an updated case allowing for a larger box sapphire crystal. Platine colours are: Oro (gold), Argento (silver), Azzurro (blue) and Verde (green).
Condition and performance
The watch is in excellent condition - no issues identified.
Supplied on a titanium consort bracelet in very good condition with all spare links. Also comes with the tobacco leather strap also in very good condition.
Comes boxed with owner’s manual, cleaning cloth and warranty booklet/card.
Timegrapher: Approximately -4 seconds per day.

Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Limited Edition Lucerne Blue 36mm Automatic
Introduction
CW introduced the Sealander range in April 2021 to great acclaim. It was really missing a sports watch, and this fitted the bill perfectly. It was voted Christopher Ward Forum Watch of the Year 2021.
It features a polished lacquer dial – and was initially available in just black or white – and top-brushed, diamond-polished indices filled with Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 BL C1. The hand-set, modelled on those from the C60 Trident Pro 600, is also coated with lume, and the date window is at 6 o'clock.
Later iterations included this 39mm blue version as well as smaller 36mm versions and colours.
This is one of the limited edition 36mm versions that were released in 2022 part of a four-watch collection (200 pieces per edition) inspired by the colours of Swiss topography and English flora (in this case the waters of Lake Lucerne), using a 36 mm case to cater for the growing demand for smaller watches.
Warranty
This is a September 2022 watch, so the CW transferable movement warranty is valid to September 2027.

Exchange for CW tan, brown or black vintage oak leather strap (increase of £20)
Exchange for CW hybrid (increase of £20)
