SOLD WH968 C8 UTC Worldtimer DLC (Undated)
Christopher Ward C8 UTC Worldtimer
Introduction
Launched in 2016 at £900, the C8 UTC, with its offset crowns - the lower of which rotates the internal ‘worldtimer’ bezel was a real headturner.
It’s a big watch at 44mm, but at a relatively modest 11.5mm tall, it doesn’t wear too big on the wrist (The C60 GMT, which uses the same ETA movement, stands at 13.8mm).
In case you weren’t already aware, the fourth hand (with the red arrow) takes 24 hours to complete one trip around the dial, making it a great travel partner. When I’m away from the UK, I set the internal rotating bezel to display LON at the top, then set the red GMT hand to London time, so I’m just a glance away from seeing the time at home.
Warranty
It comes with a six month Ward Hoard warranty.
Strap options
Fitted with a later CW stone canvas strap, which has quick-release spring bars and suits the watch perfectly. The strap is in good used condition. The tiber straps are superb - fantastic quality and suit the watch perfectly.
If you’d rather a brand new CW vintage oak brown, it’s an extra £25.
If you’d rather it head only (i.e. without a strap), a discount of £20.
