CHRISTOPHER WARD C30 MALVERN CHRONOMETER CHRONOGRAPH
Introduction
Unusually for CW, there has only ever been one C30 model. It’s a close cousin of the Mk2 C3, but it’s made far special thanks to its unique Optic White face, its subtle red chrono second hand and its COSC-certified, thermo compensated ETA 251.233 heart, which was the most accurate calibre available at the time - accurate to within 15 seconds per year.
The C30 was launched in August 2014, with the leather models costing £600 at the bracelet version £650. By the time all 500 pieces had sold out (12 months later) the price had risen to £635 and £700 respectively. This is a later archive find - in November 2016.
Warranty
It comes with a six month Ward Hoard warranty.
Condition
The watch for sale here was sold is in fabulous condition.
A real collector’s piece, this is about as good as you are going to find. It is one of the best that I’ve seen - it’s barely worn.
Offered boxed with polishing cloth , owner’s manual and certificate of authenticity.
Strap options
It comes on its original bracelet which is in equally lovely condition. These 18mm bracelets are as rare as hen’s teeth - most came on a strap. If you’d like it head only, discount of £100.
