WH1338 C60 Trident Bronze Pro 600 43mm (10/2018)
Christopher Ward C60 Mk2 Bronze
Introduction
Here we have the original and first bronze C60 Trident. It was based on the Mk2 C60 and was an instant hit when it was launched in 2017, paving the way for various C60 and C65 bronze editions. It was retired three years later with the arrival of the Mk3 C60 bronze model. I think this model is fantastic - it’s slightly too big for me (as all the 43mm mk2 Tridents are), but I love the dial colour - CW has absolutely nailed it.
How do the Mk2 and Mk3 bronze C60s differ?
Size: the Mk2 was available in 38mm and 43mm, the new/current Mk3 is 40mm.
Face: on the Mk2 it’s a flat/matte navy blue, whereas the Mk3 has a lighter, distressed look.
Case: as well as the different size, the case design on the Mk3 gives it a slimmer look compared to the Mk2
Hands: the Mk2 has quite traditional style hands, but the Mk3 has straight/modern hands
Warranty
It comes with a six month Ward Hoard warranty.
Strap and options
It comes fitted with the original CW brown leather strap that is used and in good condition..
Other options:
Exchange for a brand new CW vintage oak leather strap or hybrid (increase of £40).
Head only, discount of £20
Condition
It is very good condition. It’s developed a deeper patina than the other ones that I have for sale over the last few years.
If you like the bright, raw bronze look, that can be brought back with a quick soda/lemon juice clean (no shortage of guides on the web).
Timing on the timegrapher is fantastic at +2 or 3 seconds per day.
Comes boxed with polishing cloth, owner’s manual with certificate of authenticity.
