Conservation. Innovation. Sophistication
If you find yourself near Thailand’s Andaman Sea, you might come upon nomadic seafarers like the Moken people. In the past they were fishermen. But overfishing and pollution have robbed them of their livelihood. Until now.
Today, the Moken and other tribes around the region ‘fish’ for ocean plastic, which is then converted by #tide ocean material®, a social enterprise, into plastic pellets. These are turned into a premium canvas-like material – perfect for watch straps – or a mouldable liquid plastic. Both are found on the C60 #tide.
As you might expect, the C60 #tide has all the hallmarks of Christopher Ward’s Trident range – water-resistance to 600m, ‘Trident’ hands deep-filled with lume, a beautifully engineered bezel – but is loaded with extras that give it a distinct character of its own.
At 42mm, the C60 #tide isn’t shy – and it’s that extra real estate that increases the impact of the sapphire dial. For the first time on any CW sapphire watch, the dial has been embellished: here with ‘waves’ of Super-LumiNova® printed onto the surface – something which delivers a neon-glow across the dial after dark.
Turn the watch over to see the #tide mark deep-stamped into the case back – surrounded by a ring of injection-moulded #tide ocean material. You’ll also find a miniature #tide mark on the crown, too.
The watch’s timekeeping credentials come via a COSC-certified Sellita SW200-1 calibre, which has tolerance of just 4/+6 seconds per day, putting it in the top six percent of Swiss-made movements for accuracy.
Each C60 #tide is available on an exclusive #tide ocean material strap. Unlike NATO bands, which can feel nylon-esque, the #tide strap has the strength of canvas, but with a lustrous feel that makes it a joy to wear.
And while the C60 #tide won’t save the oceans alone, it’s a clear sign of our commitment to marine-preservation and a stylish way to show what you and Christopher Ward stand for.
It’s also why CW and #tide are making a joint £5 donation from the sale of every #tide strap to Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE).
Sellita SW200 COSC Automatic

Sellita SW200 COSC Automatic
Designed for those who demand the highest standards of timekeeping, this Swiss-made automatic movement has been officially designated as a ‘chronometer’ by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres.
This means it has a certified timing tolerance of just -4/+6 seconds per day in a variety of temperatures and positions, putting it in the top six per cent of Swiss-made watches for accuracy.
The movement boasts a date wheel, a 4Hz frequency (equating to a smooth eight ticks per second) and a 38-hour power reserve. It also has an in-built anti-shock system to maintain accuracy when faced with any sudden jolts.

Addressing the issue
Five pounds sterling from the sale of every #tide ocean material strap will be donated to Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE), a charity that is addressing overfishing.

Totally
tropical dial
The transparent sapphire dial not only lets you see the movement from the front, but its unique wave-patterned dial has been fortified with Super-LumiNova® so it emits a neon-tropical glow in the dark. We’ve started calling it ‘the Miami’.

Leading the fight
against plastic
A partnership between #tide – producers of straps made from recycled ocean plastic – and Christopher Ward. The watch will bring attention to the plight of our oceans and how #tide is making a difference against overfishing.

Deep. Covered
As a dive watch, the C60 #tide has been engineered to the same standards as our Trident range, and is waterproof to 600m.

Sustainable and stylish
The caseback is inlaid with #tide’s recycled ocean plastic and also features the ‘hashtag’ logo of #tide deep-stamped into the metal.

C60 #tide: fighting
ocean pollution
Off the coast of Thailand a new eco business is reclaiming sea plastic and turning it into a material that can be used in watch straps (and more) – as seen on the new #C60 tide.
