Description
Introduced in August 2015, the C8 Flyer brought Christopher Ward's distinctive aviation-inspired design to a more wearable audience. Offered alongside the original 44mm version, the 38mm model retained the same cockpit-instrument character but in a case size better suited to a wider range of wrists. Drawing directly on Britain's aviation heritage, its design takes inspiration from the Smiths cockpit clock fitted to Spitfire aircraft, prioritising clarity, functionality and instant legibility. This example is the 38mm automatic variant, combining vintage pilot-watch aesthetics with everyday practicality.
