£945.00

Quick facts

Description

The C65 range only really came into focus in 2018. Earlier uses of the name were essentially variations on the C60 and never quite stood on their own. That changed with the release of the C65 Trident Diver, which marked CW’s first deliberate move into the retro dive space and the point at which the C65 became a platform rather than a side note. This was also the first diver to use the Light‑catcher case, bringing a more sculpted and fluid profile to a category that had previously been more utilitarian in CW’s lineup. From there the C65 quickly expanded into a broader family, covering vintage divers, military styles and more experimental offshoots, and in the process began to rival the C60 as the brand’s defining dive watch.

The C65 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited Edition takes that C65 platform in a more experimental direction, focusing on material and surface treatment. The dial is made from bronze and finished with an ombré effect, brass‑like at the centre before transitioning to a black varnish at the edge. Each dial is then hand‑scratched, resulting in subtle variations across the 500‑piece limited run and ensuring no two examples are exactly alike. The bronze case retains the C65’s Light‑Catcher profile, while a black aluminium bezel insert provides contrast against the darker edge of the dial. As the name suggests, the watch is COSC‑certified, combining its distinctive aesthetic with chronometer‑rated performance.
