Quick facts
Description
Launched in 2009, the C70 is one of the most important and, today, most collectable motorsport watches Christopher Ward has produced. It was the line that established CW’s early reputation for bold design, historical storytelling and disruptive value, and proved the brand could build a cult following well beyond dive watches.
The range debuted as the C70 Grand Prix Chronometers, a set of six 500‑piece limited editions, each dedicated to a landmark early Grand Prix race. Powered by ETA quartz chronograph movements, these original models remain the purest expression of the C70 idea. From 2011, the line expanded beyond Grand Prix racing into rallying, aviation‑linked military editions and British motorsport specials, growing into a broad platform that became a cornerstone of CW’s catalogue.
The C70 IT Metal Art Chronometer 3527 is one of the most unusual and desirable watches to come out of the C70 range. Released in August 2014 in collaboration with TMB Art Metal, it is a limited edition of just 100 pieces celebrating the Ferrari 250 GTO. Power comes from the COSC‑certified ETA 251.233 quartz chronograph movement. What sets the watch apart is found on the caseback: beneath a crystal window sits a disc of metal taken from an original Ferrari 250 GTO, finished with a cut‑out numeral 6 on a red background. The donor car’s chassis number was 3527GT, which gives the watch its name. It is a genuine piece of motorsport history incorporated directly into the watch, and one of the most distinctive collector editions Christopher Ward has produced.
