Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT
Introduction
Described as a classic ‘GMT-explorer’ watch the C63 Sealander GMT made its debut in April 2021. Crafted from anti-corrosive 316L stainless steel, the C63 Sealander GMT boasts a fixed 24-hour bezel, an oversized GMT hand in bright orange and a high-legibility dial. Powered by the new Sellita SW330-2 GMT movement, the wearer is able to track a second time zone, day or night, anywhere in the world.
There’s undeniable resemblance to a 42mm Rolex Explorer II (albeit with batons instead of pips), but at 39mm, the Christopher Ward version probably has a bit more flexibility… and at £7,000+ cheaper, it represents a small advantage on the value front, too!
It’s fitted with the SW330-2 movement, so you get a 56h power reserve, as opposed to the 42h of the SW330-1 - a noticeable improvement
Warranty
This is a January 2022 watch, so the transferable movement warranty is valid to January 2027.
Strap options
It comes on a very good CW black and orange tide.
Other options - head only £20 discount

Condition

On the timegrapher it’s keeping very good time at -9spd.
