Christopher Ward C63 Sapphire GMT COSC LE
Introduction
Described as a classic ‘GMT-explorer’ watch the C63 Sealander GMT made its debut in April 2021. Crafted from anti-corrosive 316L stainless steel, the C63 Sealander GMT boasts a fixed 24-hour bezel, an oversized GMT hand in bright orange and a high-legibility dial. Powered by the new Sellita SW330-2 GMT movement, the wearer is able to track a second time zone, day or night, anywhere in the world.
There’s undeniable resemblance to a 42mm Rolex Explorer II (albeit with batons instead of pips), but at 39mm, the Christopher Ward version probably has a bit more flexibility… and at £7,000+ cheaper, it represents a small advantage on the value front, too!
Introduced in March 2022 as a limited edition of 200 pieces, the C63 Sapphire GMT COSC LE brings together the 39 mm C63 case and the Sapphire dial for the first time. The dial is a smoked grey colour, the GMT hand is picked out in blue and the fixed steel 24 hour bezel is black with white numerals. You don’t see many of these on the second hand market at all - this is the first one that has passed through my hands.
The watch uses the chronometer version of the Sellita SW 330-1 automatic GMT movement.
