CHRISTOPHER WARD C65 TRIDENT AUTOMATIC BLUE/BLUE
Introduction
When Christopher Ward launched the retro style C65 Trident Diver in 2018 they will have hoped it was a success, but I doubt they were expecting it to be quite as successful as it has been. It’s been a great seller and has already spawned many different iterations and special editions.
The earlier models (as identified by having batten hour markers) all had hand-wound movements. They were available with black, green or blue faces (plus a few limited edition specials).
In Jan 2019 CW introduced an automatic version, easily identified by its spots or ‘pips’ for hour markers. There was a black/black, a red/black and this, the blue/blue - all of which are no longer available from CW.
Warranty
It was serviced by CW in March of this year so it carries a CW warranty until March 2026.
Strap options
It comes on a brand new CW blue tropic strap.
If you would prefer it on a brand new CW vintage oak or hybrid or tide strap, no cost change.
If you would prefer it head only, discount of £40.
Condition
On the timegrapher it is keeping great time, running at +4 or 5 sec per day.
It’s in good used condition - couple of scuffs on the bezel as highlighted in the photos.
It comes with CW’s latest box (following its service) with manual/certificate of authenticity, service documentation and cleaning cloth.
