WH1246 C5 Malvern MkII Quartz (undated)
Christopher Ward C5 Malvern Mark 2 Quartz
Introduction
Entry into CW dress watch ownership doesn’t come much cheaper than this. It’s a 39mm C5 Malvern Mk2 with white dial.
The C5 auto and C3 quartz Chrono were CW’s first two watches back in 2005. The original C5 was only available as an auto, but the quartz Mk1 came along in 2010.
These Mk2 versions are 1mm bigger than the 38mm Mk1s and were made between 2012 and 2016 - at the time costing just £200 on a leather strap and £300 on a CW bracelet.
Condition
It is in fair condition with marks on the bezel - the worst is a ding on the bezel at around 9 o’clock. It has just had been back to CW for a repair so it is in shipshape mechanical order.
It comes unboxed but will be well packed for sending.
Strap
It comes on a new aftermarket strap.
Warranty
It comes with a CW warranty through to November 2026.
