Travel, exploration and adventure have long inspired watchmakers.
From rock climbers to channel swimmers, deep-sea divers to professional cavers – adventurers have always demanded tool watches to help them overcome the most testing conditions.
The C63 Sealander GMT builds on this tradition. It looks back to the classic GMT-explorer’s watches of the 1970s: then updates it for today – at a price that’s almost too good to be true.
Unlike most of our other GMT watches, the C63 Sealander GMT has a fixed outer bezel. This is because the early GMT-explorers were designed for cavers.
It was vital the bezel was static.
You can use your C63 Sealander’s GMT hand this way or to monitor the time zone of your choice – as you would on a traditional GMT.
Made from marine-grade 316L stainless steel, the 39mm Light-catcher™ case is not only sized to suit every wrist but comfortable to wear and hypnotising to look at – especially when light bounces off its brushed and polished surfaces.
Powering the watch is the new Sellita SW330-2 GMT, a movement that allows you to set the fourth hand separately. As well being robust, it has a minimum power reserve of 50 hours – easily enough for a weekend away.
The dial requires further consideration. Crafted in a variety of colours, including black, white, green, and sunray blue, that change it's appearance subtly in the light, it’s both easy to read and fascinating to look at. There’s a date window at 6 o’ clock, which gives you more information and also balances the Christopher Ward logo at 12.
The watch’s indexes and hands-set are coated with Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 BL C1 for visibility in low light. Something that offers vital information when you’re exploring the darker recesses of the planet. And because this is a watch made for land or sea, water-resistance is guaranteed to 150m.
Finally, if you like to change up your timepiece, swapping a bracelet for a strap is super-easy thanks to our pioneering quick-release system. It’s like getting a second watch for free.

The new Sellita SW330-2 is an alternative to the ETA 2893, and a movement that provides both superb accuracy and GMT timing.
Just 4.1mm thick, the SW330-2 has 25 jewels and beats at a rate of 28,800 per hour with a power reserve of up to 56 hours. The central GMT hand can be set independently from the hour and seconds hands.
