WH1046 C70 Royal Air Force Ad Astra Limited Edition (01/2011)
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 C70 RAF stylish face and bright colours make it a very collectable piece.
Warranty
It comes with a six month Ward Hoard warranty.
Strap
Fitted with an Italian Vintage oak leather strap in used condition - a superb quality strap.
Head only - discount of £20.
Exchange for a brand new current CW leather, hybrid or rubber strap - increase of £30.
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 in pretty good condition with only some light marks.
It comes boxed (box showing some signs of flaking and deterioration) with cleaning cloth, manual with certificate of authenticity, covering letter and some repair documentation from the dim and distant past!
