WH2305CC C65 Cranwell Series 1 (11/2021)

£695.00

Quick facts

  • Reference: C65 Cranwell Series 1

  • Category: Adventure / aviation / Military

  • Size: 41mm

  • Movement: Sellita SW200 COSC automatic

  • Condition: Very good

  • CW (manufacturer) warranty: Expires November 2026

  • Ward Hoard warranty: Covers the balance to six months from purchase.

  • Buy it if you want: military clarity and chronometer precision without unnecessary fuss.

Description

The C65 Cranwell is named after the Royal Air Force College at Cranwell, where RAF officers undertake their initial training. With Christopher Ward's longstanding relationship with the UK armed forces, and a history of producing bespoke service-only watches, the Cranwell sits among a small group of CW models that translate genuine military design into a publicly available watch. Alongside the Dartmouth and Sandhurst, it formed part of the first wave of CW's officially approved military models released in 2019, each aligned to a specific branch of the services.

This example is the original Cranwell Series 1, rather than the later Series 2. It belongs to the first generation of the Cranwell design, carrying the collection's aviation and military character into an everyday automatic watch. The appeal is its purposeful approach: a watch whose identity comes from the RAF connection and the practical business of telling the time, rather than unnecessary decoration.

The Series 2 redesign followed in September 2022. This is the earlier interpretation, not that later 38mm model; its proportions and dial execution should be appreciated on their own terms.
