SOLD WH733 C70 Royal Air Force Ad Astra Limited Edition (Undated)
Christopher Ward C70 Royal Air Force Ad Astra
Introduction
The RAF Ad Astra limited edition was introduced as a limited edition with part of the proceeds going to the RAF Benevolent Fund. It was based on the C70 Grand Prix series models and is a quartz chronograph.
The watch for sale here is a prototype with serial number 0000.
The C70 RAF stylish face and bright colours make it a very collectable piece.
Warranty
It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.
Strap
Fitted with a CW aviator strap of the period in amazing condition - a superb quality strap.
Head only - discount of £50.
Exchange for a brand new current CW leather, hybrid or rubber strap - no cost change.
Condition
The C70’s exposed alloy bezel and thinly applied paint make it notoriously delicate, so finding the older ones in good condition is becoming increasingly challenging. This one is actually in unworn condition as part of an archive find/prototype. Probably the best example that you will see.
It has lost its papers all the way, but comes in the latest CW mini bamboo box.
