The slimmer Trident
The slimmer Trident
How do you improve on an icon like the C60 Trident Pro 600?
You don’t. At least not yet.
Instead, you talk to the people who know your brand most – in this case, the Christopher Ward Forum – and ask them what they’d like to see in their ideal dive watch.
The result of this consultation is the stunning new C60 Trident Pro 300.
A diving instrument that takes the Trident template and remixes it into a watch that’s so wearable you’ll never want to take it off. A watch that’s up to 1.9mm slimmer than its Pro 600 cousin (depending on case size), yet still delivers 300m of water resistance.
Everything about the C60 Trident Pro 300 is made for daily wear: smart enough for the office, rugged enough to accompany you on the deepest of dives. Its unidirectional bezel boasts a rotating outer section with coloured ceramic insert, and a fixed steel inner ring, with minute increments all the way around.
The dial’s larger indexes deliver increased luminosity while the new twin-flags logo at 12 o’clock balances the date wheel at 6. The handset has been upgraded, too: a precision-engineered arrow-head seconds hand, influenced by the ambitious C60 Concept, replaces the standard Trident design.
Flexibility is everything: the watch comes in three case sizes – 38, 40 and 42mm – and four colours: black, blue or white dial options from the Pro 600 line, plus a military-inspired olive-green choice.
Another upgrade is the marine-grade steel bracelet which has an increased taper of 16.5mm at the clasp, extended micro-adjustment and an enhanced quick-release system – it also has screw links rather than pins. And if you don’t like to wear a bracelet, the watch is also available on a selection of straps.
Finally, power is courtesy of Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, which you can see in all its highly finished glory – check the ‘Christopher Ward’ engraving on the rotor – by turning the watch over and looking through the transparent exhibition case back.
Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement
Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement
An update on the classic Sellita SW200, this Swiss-made self-winding movement is known for its accuracy and reliability.
The 26-jewel 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.
A slimmer case
The Light-catcher™ case – available in 40 and 42mm sizes – is waterproof to 300m, which has enabled our engineers to reduce its thickness by up to 1.9mm.
A logo to love
Our twin-flags logo, which represents CW’s joint centres of England and Switzerland, is at 12 o’clock, while balance is provided by the date window, with self-coloured date disc, at 6.
Metal guru
The redesigned bracelet, crafted in marine-grade stainless steel, boasts an increased taper – 16.5mm at the clasp – and an improved micro-adjustment mechanism. Plus, it now boasts screw links rather than pins.
