SOLD WH1697G C60 Trident Mk3 Chronograph Bumblebeast (02/2024)
Quick facts
Reference: C60 Trident Mk3 Chronograph
Category: Dive
Size: Large
Movement: Automatic
Condition: Very good
CW (manufacturer) warranty: Expires February 2029
Buy it if you want: A cult‑classic CW chronograph - nicknamed the “BumbleBeast” for a reason.
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.

The watch is in very good condition with visible but light signs of wear.
Case: Clean with light hairlines only
Bezel: Clean - no issues

Supplied on a CW bracelet with ratchet micro-adjust and quick release lugs showing light marks consistent with wear. Complete with all spare links.
