Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Black Sand
Introduction
Introduced in August 2020, the C65 Super Compressor is the first genuine super compressor diving watch in 50 years. Using a technology developed in the early days of dive watches the mechanism, featuring a compression spring, is designed to increase water-resistance as the diver descends. The exhibition caseback – not used before on a super compressor – shows the all-important compression spring and diving-bell logo. The internal dive bezel is adjusted by means of a second crown.
Lovely retro style diver with sun-burst style face, internal rotating bezel and huge exhibition case back showcasing the movement and compression ring.
This is an original C65 SC which has the ‘mistake dial’ where the ”SUPER COMPRESSOR” wording at the bottom of the dial is slightly off centre to the left.
Warranty
It comes with a transferable CW warranty to January 2026, and a six month Ward Hoard warranty from date of purchase.
Strap
Currently fitted with a CW orange rubber strap in great condition. If you’d rather something more subtle (!) ,other options are:
1) switch it to a new CW leather or hybrid - an extra £20.

Please ask if you’d like it on a bracelet and I’ll see what options there are.
