Quick facts
Description
With the exception of a handful of military specials, the Christopher Ward C7 (and C70) range has always been home to the brand’s sport and motorsport‑inspired watches. The C7 Rapide first appeared in 2008 as a quartz chronograph and that theme continued with the Mk2 in 2012, which was essentially the original case with a selection of new dial designs.
It wasn’t until the broader C7 redesign that Christopher Ward began to explore the case beyond chronographs alone. The Mk3 C7 included regular three handers rather than having the additional subdials of the chronograph. The case of the Mk3 is fantastic - I love the scalloped lugs with polished edges, the contrasting black ring around the case and the complexity of the multi‑part case construction.
For this limited edition run of 100, power comes from a Swiss automatic movement certified as a COSC chronometer and it displays both day and date. This one is a prototype - it is number 000 of 100. I couldn’t tell you what the difference is between it and the regular limited edition run though!

Condition and performance
The watch is in very good condition with visible but light signs of wear.
Supplied on a CW motor sport Italian Piccari Vintage leather in great condition.
Comes boxed with cleaning cloth and warranty booklet/card - it is serial 000 confirming it is a prototype. No owner’s manual, but this can be found online.
It has the start of ‘spinning rotor syndrome’ so will need to go back to CW towers before the five year warranty expires (in March 2027). I can arrange this before shipment if preferred (it takes 6-8 weeks).
Timegrapher: +1 spd.
Strap options
Subject to availability, standard unworn CW straps comprise vintage oak leather, hybrid, rubber and tropic.
Please send us a message and we will adjust the price accordingly.
We also offer 10% off our straps and bracelets listed in Accessories purchased alongside a watch.
Simply add the accessory to your basket and use STRAP10 or BRAC10 at checkout.
Generally, we list all our bracelets on our Accessories page, but if you don’t see the bracelet for this specific watch, please ask.
