Quick facts

Description

The C60 Chronograph “BumbleBeast” has earned cult‑classic status within the Christopher Ward catalogue, its nickname stemming from the unmistakable black‑and‑yellow colours that gives it instant presence on the wrist. It’s bold without being gimmicky and unapologetically different from the more restrained Trident models - a watch that was never designed to blend in, and is better for it.

Despite its size, the BumbleBeast is more wearable than you might expect. The chronograph movement is slimmer than the traditional Valjoux‑based alternatives and, when combined with Christopher Ward’s Light‑Catcher case design, the watch wears lower and more comfortably than its dimensions suggest. It’s still a substantial piece, but a manageable one - with the build quality, legibility and robustness you’d expect from CW, backed by a design that has helped cement its reputation among collectors.
