Saving the snow leopard with every tick
Saving the snow leopard with every tick
Christopher Ward has been a supporter of David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation since 2019.
The way we do this is by creating extraordinary watches that not only celebrate the environment, but also generate money for DSWF as it works to preserve the habitats of endangered species.
Which is where the C63 SH21 Snow Leopard comes in. We’ll not only donate five percent from the sale of each watch to DSWF, but we’ll also adopt a snow leopard in the buyer’s name, with a year’s support coming from the purchase.
This means that DSWF will protect the snow leopard’s habitat against mining and agricultural developments, while establishing new protected areas. You’ll receive a certificate, species fact sheet, animal bio sheet, photo and snow leopard sketch print by wildlife artist Mandy Shepherd.
Powered by our in-house movement, Calibre SH21, the watch (a limited edition of only 150 pieces) brings together Sealander design, engineering and build quality with the power of SH21.
When it comes to movements, Calibre SH21 is up there with the best. Thanks to its twin-barrel architecture, SH21 boasts a five-day power reserve, which means you can take it off for five days and it’ll still keep ticking. And because it’s a chronometer, it’s in the top six percent of Swiss-made watches for accuracy.
The all-white dial – imprinted with a pattern inspired by the coat of the snow leopard – displays the functionality of SH21. At 9 o'clock you’ll find the power-reserve dial, while at 6, a seconds counter. Further balance is provided by the date window at 3pm. Meanwhile, the 41mm Light-catcher™ case has been designed to sit closer to your wrist – making it feel more secure.
Should you wish to leave dry land for the seas, water-resistance to 150m means you’ll be covered for everything but the most extreme of dives.
Calibre SH21 Automatic
Calibre SH21 Automatic
Designed by our former technical director, Johannes Jahnke, Calibre SH21 was the first commercially viable movement from a British watch brand in over 50 years. And thanks to its ingenuous twin-barrel construction, Calibre SH21 will deliver 120 hours – five whole days – of timekeeping when fully wound.
This particular version also boasts a power-reserve complication. The introduction of an automatic power reserve complication to Calibre SH21 was achieved with a 28-piece modification to the base movement, bringing the total number of jewels to 33.
In addition to providing impeccable timekeeping, its bridge has been redesigned to allow greater visibility of the twin barrels, and boast a 'colimaçoné' finish, engraved with our twin-flag pattern.
When fully wound, its twin barrels deliver five days' COSC-certified timekeeping. This places it among the most accurate of Swiss-made, power-reserve movements.
Making a difference
For every watch sold, CW will adopt a snow leopard in the buyer’s name, with a full year’s support coming from the purchase. Plus, five percent of the retail price will go to DSWF.
SH21: in a league of its own
The watch is powered by CW’s in-house Calibre SH21. Not only does this give you a five-day power reserve, but as a chronometer it’s in the top six percent of Swiss movements for accuracy.
A case to love
We know how important fit is to a watch, that’s why CW’s 41mm Light-catcher™ case has been ergonomically designed to sit lower on your wrist and ‘wear’ smaller.
