Description

Christopher Ward has a long history of pushing against the edges of what is expected at its price point, whether through unconventional design choices or technical ambition. The C60 Sapphire sits squarely in that tradition, not as a complication or a reinvention, but as a willingness to do something more difficult than strictly necessary and see if it worked.

Launched in April 2020, the C60 Sapphire was based on the then-new 40mm Mk3 C60 Trident Pro and used a fully transparent sapphire dial and case back to expose the Sellita automatic movement beneath. Producing that dial required a complex manufacturing process, resulting in a material that is extremely thin, scratch-resistant and visually distinctive. The effect was immediate. It proved popular enough to lead to further versions and established the idea that the C60 platform could support genuinely experimental ideas without losing its identity as a serious dive watch.

That approach was developed further with the Sapphire Edge. Instead of a fully transparent sapphire dial, the Edge uses sapphire only around the outer dial ring, adding depth while improving legibility. The centre of the dial returns to a more conventional finish, creating a clearer structure and a more balanced overall layout. It shows how the Sapphire concept could be refined rather than repeated, retaining the experimental element while making the watch easier to read and live with.
