Christopher Ward C8 Pilot Mk1
Introduction
Christopher Ward has a long history of making aviation-inspired watches, starting with 2006’s C5 Malvern Aviator, which was based on CW’s first ever watch, the C5 Malvern. Their next aviator was… the C8, which was first introduced in 2008 and was retired, when the last few C8 Power Reserves were sold in early 2021.
The watch for sale here is where the C8 all began: the Pilot Mk1.
