WH1699K C12 The Twelve 40 Steel Midnight Sun (01/2026)

£795.00

Quick facts

Description

The Twelve has become one of the most successful and recognisable designs in Christopher Ward’s modern catalogue. Since its launch it has been widely well received, not just as a single model but as a platform, expanding across sizes, materials and dial options while keeping a clear and consistent identity. At its core, it is an integrated sports watch designed to sit comfortably between sport and dress and to be worn regularly rather than treated as a statement piece.

In 40mm, the Midnight Sun dial gives the Twelve a warmer and more confident presence. The colour sits apart from the cooler whites, blues and greys elsewhere in the range, adding character without overwhelming the design. On the larger dial, the gradient has more room to breathe, shifting subtly across the surface rather than reading as a flat block of colour. It keeps the sharp proportions and clean wearability that define the Twelve, but with a slightly richer, more expressive feel. If you like the Twelve but want something that feels less neutral and a bit more assured, the 40mm Midnight Sun strikes a very good balance.
