A Beginner’s Guide to Every Christopher Ward Model

Christopher Ward Watch Model Guide

Christopher Ward turns 22 this year. It began in 2004 with three friends and one stubborn belief – that extraordinary watchmaking shouldn’t require an extraordinary bank balance. Designed in England, made in Switzerland and sold direct, its watches follow a refreshingly simple pricing rule: cost to make times three, rather than the industry’s customary ten.

That underdog streak took a serious turn in 2014, when Christopher Ward unveiled Calibre SH21 (now rebranded CW-001), the first commercially viable mechanical movement from a British brand in 50 years – the moment it stopped being “the affordable one” and became a genuine watchmaker. Two decades on, the range spans Twelve, Trident, Sealander, Bel Canto and more, so here’s the Oracle Time guide to every Christopher Ward model in the current collection.

C60 Trident

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef

The C60 Trident is one of Christopher Ward’s longest-standing collections – the line it still bills as its “original professional dive watch.” It launched in 2009 and has been the brand’s diving backbone ever since. Now in its third and most ambitious generation, it has grown from a single diver into a whole collection. What ties them all together is a proper dive watch brief – a unidirectional ceramic bezel, a Swiss automatic movement, most rated to at least 300m water resistance, and that signature trident-tipped seconds hand.

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300

C60 Trident Pro 300

The most wearable Trident and the centrepiece of the collection, built around a slimmer Light-catcher case that still delivers 300m of water resistance. The date sits at a balanced 6 o’clock, and a sapphire caseback reveals the Sellita SW200-1. Its two-part bezel – rotating ceramic outer, fixed steel inner with a minute scale – sharpens the timing. It comes in 38mm, 40mm, 42mm or 44mm with black, white or blue dials on rubber or bracelet.

Model: Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300
Case/dial: 38/40/42/44mm diameter, stainless steel, screw-down crown
Dial: Black, white or blue
Water resistance: 300m (30 bar)
Movement: Sellita calibre SW200-1, automatic, 38h power reserve, 28,800 vph (4 Hz) frequency
Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date
Strap: Stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap
Price: From £795

Christopher Ward C60 Trident GMT 300

C60 Trident GMT 300

The GMT version of the Trident Pro 300, and the one to reach for if your life spans more than one time zone. Built on the 40mm Light-catcher case, it pairs a bi-directional 24-hour bezel with a central GMT hand to track three time zones simultaneously – local time on the main dial, a second read from the GMT hand, and a third once you rotate the bezel. All of that without sacrificing any of the Trident’s dive credentials. If the Pro 300 is the everyday diver, consider this its well-travelled sibling.

Model: Christopher Ward C60 Trident GMT 300
Case/dial: 40mm diameter, stainless steel, screw-down crown
Dial: Multiple
Water resistance: 300m (30 bar)
Movement: Sellita calibre SW330-2, automatic, 56h power reserve, 28,800 vph (4 Hz) frequency
Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date, GMT
Strap: Stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap
Price: From £1,215

Christopher Ward C60 Pro 300 Bronze

C60 Trident Pro 300 Bronze

The Trident at its most characterful: the same dive engineering re-cased in CuSn6 bronze that patinas uniquely with wear, paired with a brown ombré dial. Where it pulls ahead of the standard Pro 300 is certification – this one is COSC-chronometer rated, meaning it’s been tested and approved by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres to stricter accuracy standards. It keeps the full 300m water resistance and runs a Sellita SW200-1 COSC, making it the most accomplished Trident in the range for those who want their dive watch to earn its stripes on land as well as underwater.

Model: Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 Bronze
Case/dial: 42mm diameter, CuSn6 bronze, screw-down crown
Dial: Brown ombre
Water resistance: 300m (30 bar)
Movement: Sellita calibre SW200-1 COSC, automatic, 38h power reserve, 28,800 vph (4 Hz) frequency
Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date
Strap: Leather or rubber strap
Price: From £1,135

Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge

C60 Sapphire Edge

The Trident’s technical showpiece, and the watch that makes the most of sapphire as a material. The dial is machined from lab-grown sapphire crystal to just 0.6mm thick – translucent enough to show the movement beneath, which also shows through the sapphire caseback. The bezel is sapphire too, with lumed markers: lustrous but engineered to withstand 300m of water pressure and deliver the same satisfying 120-click action as the rest of the Trident range. Completing the picture is a luminous Aquaflex rubber strap – CW’s first – made from FKM fluorocarbon rubber with a lume coating for low-light visibility. Available in blue or white.

Model: Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge
Case/dial: 42mm diameter x 10.7mm thickness, stainless steel, screw-down crown
Dial: Sapphire (blue or white)
Water resistance: 300m (30 bar)
Movement: Sellita calibre SW200-1, automatic, 38h power reserve, 28,800 vph (4 Hz) frequency
Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date
Strap: Aquaflex rubber strap or stainless steel bracelet

Christopher Ward C60 Trident_Lumiere

C60 Trident Lumière

True to its name (French for light), the Lumière glows like nothing else, its indexes and logo are made entirely from Xenoprint’s solid Globolight XP© lume and its ceramic bezel is lumed too. It’s light in weight as well, built entirely from Grade 2 titanium, bracelet included, and is the first Trident in recent memory with a helium escape valve. Available in orange, blue or grey dials.

Model: Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumiere
Case/dial: 41mm diameter, grade 2 titanium, screw-down crown
Dial: Orange, blue or grey
Water resistance: 300m (30 bar)
Movement: Sellita calibre SW200-1, automatic, 38h power reserve, 28,800 vph (4 Hz) frequency
Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date
Strap: Titanium bracelet or Aquaflex rubber strap

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef

C60 Trident Reef

The Trident Reef is the most casual entry in the collection – a little less water resistant at 200m, but a lot more colourful. The dial comes in five coral-named colourways (Chalice Yellow, Tuba Orange, Helio Blue, Galaxea Black and Acro White) all inspired by Ana Brecevic’s paper coral sculptures, with colour-matched aluminium shrouds along the case. It introduced a new Light-catcher™ design and an enlarged case option alongside the standard size.

Model: Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef
Case/dial: 41mm diameter, stainless steel, screw-down crown
Dial: Multiple coral-inspired colourways
Water resistance: 200m (20 bar)
Movement: Sellita calibre SW200-1, automatic, 38h power reserve, 28,800 vph (4 Hz) frequency
Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date
Strap: Rubber strap or stainless steel bracelet
Price: From £725

Christopher Ward Atoll 300

C60 Atoll 300

A summer-ready take on the Trident Pro 300. What sets it apart is the dial – lacquered gradient colourways inspired by the seascapes of the Indian Ocean and named accordingly: cool Shark White or tropical Reef Blue, each shading from light at the centre to dark at the edge, with a date wheel colour-matched throughout. The sandblasted bezel provides a textured contrast to its polished raised numerals, with the triangle marker filled with Super-LumiNova for timing at depth. Available on bracelet or rubber strap.

Model: Christopher Ward C60 Atoll 300
Case/dial: 40mm diameter x 11.3mm thickness, stainless steel, screw-down crown
Dial: Gradient (Shark White or Reef Blue)
Water resistance: 300m (30 bar)

Christopher Ward Lympstone

C60 Lympstone

CW’s tribute to the Royal Marines, named after their Commando Training Centre in Devon and carrying MoD approval. Every detail earns its place: the gunmetal PVD (physical vapour deposition) coating kills reflections, the forged carbon dial – chopped fibres infused with resin – gives each example a marbled, near-camouflage pattern, and twin crowns work a dual bezel that doubles as a compass orientated by the sun. It’s a watch built around a mission brief.

Model: Christopher Ward C60 Lympstone
Case/dial: 42mm diameter x 13.8mm thickness, stainless steel with PVD coating, screw-down crown
Dial: Forged carbon
Water resistance: 600m (60 bar)
Movement: Sellita calibre SW200-1 COSC, automatic, 38h power reserve, 28,800 vph (4 Hz) frequency

The Twelve

Christopher Ward The Twelve 38mm Ice Cream Collection

Launched in 2023 after six years in development, The Twelve is Christopher Ward’s nod to the integrated-bracelet sports watches that defined the 1970s – your Royal Oaks and Nautiluses – a genre we largely have Gérald Genta to thank for. The name The Twelve comes from the bezel: it’s a dodecagon, a twelve-sided shape. Every model shares that bezel and the six screws on the caseback – another tip of the hat to Genta – though there are several variants to get into, which we’ll do below. It’s also notable as CW’s first integrated bracelet watch since the C20 Lido of 2008.

Christopher Ward The Twelve

The Twelve (36mm, 38mm & 40mm – steel & titanium)

The Twelve comes in three sizes – 36mm, 38mm and 40mm – all sharing the same integrated bracelet, sapphire caseback and signature geometric dial texture inspired by CW’s twin-flags logo. The key choice is material: steel runs the Sellita SW200-1 (38-hour reserve), while grade 2 titanium steps up to the COSC-certified SW300-1 (56-hour reserve) and sits noticeably lighter on the wrist. Colours vary by size, so it’s worth browsing the full range on CW’s site to find your combination.

Model: Christopher Ward The Twelve
Case/dial: 36/38/40mm diameter, stainless steel or grade 2 titanium
Dial: Multiple
Water resistance: 100m (10 bar)
Movement: Sellita calibre SW200-1 (steel) / SW300-1 COSC (titanium), automatic, 38h (steel) / 56h (titanium) power reserve, 28,800 vph (4 Hz) frequency
Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date
Strap: Integrated stainless steel or titanium bracelet

Christopher Ward The Twelve 660

The Twelve 660

The Twelve 660 is the dressy, ultra-thin member of the family. The 6.6mm case (hence the name) is 3mm slimmer than the original. To hit that profile, CW switched to a hand-wound Sellita SW210-1b and re-engineered both the bracelet and crown – the crown now push/pull rather than screw-down, bringing water resistance to 30m. The result is a minimalist dial showing just hours and minutes, with none of the texture or detail of the standard Twelve – just clean grain and negative space. It comes in four suitably pared-back colour names: BLK (full black DLC), WHT, GRN and BLU.

Model: Christopher Ward The Twelve 660
Case/dial: 38mm diameter x 6.6mm thickness, stainless steel
Dial: Black, white, green or blue
Water resistance: 30m (3 bar)
Movement: Sellita calibre SW210-1b, manual winding, 42h power reserve, 28,800 vph (4 Hz) frequency
Functions: Hours, minutes
Strap: Integrated stainless steel bracelet

Christopher Ward Twelve X Ti

The Twelve X

The anniversary flagship, built to mark 20 years of Christopher Ward and a decade of its in-house Calibre SH21, here skeletonised and CNC-finished. A mix of grade 2 and grade 5 titanium keeps it impressively light despite being the largest reference in the collection. At £3,940 on rubber or £4,325 on the bracelet, it’s the most expensive Christopher Ward to date, nudging the brand into mid-price luxury. It also comes in a darker, limited-edition, the Twelve X Black Shadow, which wraps the same skeletonised SH21 in a fully blacked-out DLC-coated case for a stealthier look.

Model: Christopher Ward The Twelve X
Case/dial: 41mm diameter, grade 2 and grade 5 titanium
Dial: Skeletonised
Water resistance: 100m (10 bar)
Movement: Christopher Ward calibre CW-001, skeletonised, automatic, 50h power reserve, 28,800 vph (4 Hz) frequency

C63 Sealander

Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT Dragonfly Blue C63 Sealander Automatic 36mm Mulberry Red

The C63 Sealander is Christopher Ward’s GADA (go anywhere, do anything) watch – a clean, capable field-style piece that draws clear inspiration from the Rolex Explorer and Explorer II, and transitions just as naturally from the office to the outdoors. A 2026 refresh brought a slimmer Light-catcher™ case, a new conical crown, the iLink bracelet system and upgraded movements across the range, making this the most refined the Sealander has ever been.

Christopher Ward Sealander GMT

C63 Sealander GMT

Christopher Ward’s best-selling watch, now in its fifth-anniversary edition. Offered in 36, 39 and 42mm stainless steel, it has a fixed 24-hour GMT bezel and comes in pistachio, black, white or dragonfly blue. Inside is the Sellita SW330-2 automatic, giving hours, minutes, seconds, date and a 24-hour GMT hand that tracks a second time zone alongside local time. The 2026 update did away with the previous Trident seconds hand – a change that divided opinion, though the cleaner dial it leaves behind suits the smaller sizes especially well.

Model: Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT
Case/dial: 36/39/42mm diameter, stainless steel, conical crown
Dial: Pistachio, black, white or dragonfly blue
Water resistance: 150m (15 bar)

Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Automatic

C63 Sealander Automatic

The purest, simplest Sealander, powered by the new Sellita SW200-2 Power+ with a 65-hour power reserve and a skeletonised rotor. It shares the slimmer 10.9mm Light-catcher™ case, conical crown and new iLink bracelet system, with a polished lacquer dial available in sky blue, pistachio, pink, black and white. As with the new GMT, the latest models drop the old Trident hand.

Model: Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Automatic

Christopher Ward Sealander Extreme GMT

C63 Sealander Extreme GMT

A more rugged take on the standard Sealander GMT. The steel 24-hour bezel is swapped for a harder, more scratch-resistant ceramic equivalent and fixed in place – simplifying the layout and toughening it up in one move. It comes on a nylon Velcro strap CW calls the V-Strap, which keeps things suitably no-nonsense, and runs the same movement as the standard model.

Model: Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Extreme GMT
Case/dial: 41mm diameter x 12.05mm thickness, stainless steel
Dial: Charcoal black or khaki green
Water resistance: 150m (15 bar)

Christopher Ward Valour

C63 Valour

The odd one out in the CW lineup – quartz, chronograph, and the most affordable watch in the collection – but don’t let that undersell it. The Valour is a genuine tribute to all three Armed Forces, with colour-coded subdial hands (red for the Army, dark blue for the Navy, light blue for the RAF) and service crests deep-stamped into the caseback. Quartz also means accuracy that mechanical movements can’t match, which feels appropriate for a watch built around precision and duty.

Model: Christopher Ward C63 Valour
Case/dial: 39mm diameter, stainless steel
Dial: Multiple
Water resistance: 100m (10 bar)
Movement: ETA calibre G10.212 AD COSC, quartz

C65 Dune Series

Christopher Ward C65 Dune Aeolian GMT

The Dune is the field-watch corner of Christopher Ward’s C65 line – a refined twist on a rugged genre that bridges the brand’s tool-watch roots with the dressier polish of the Bel Canto. It’s built on the Light-catcher™ case but topped with a vintage-style box crystal for a hit of ’70s flair. While it keeps the clean, hyper-legible layout of a proper field watch, it swaps the usual tactical, militaristic look for polished cases and sunburst dials.

Christopher Ward C65 Dune Aeolian

C65 Dune Aeolian

The Aeolian is the production evolution of the Dune, defined by a rippled, wave-textured dial – and, pleasingly for us, it began life at Oracle Time. The design was born on the Christopher Ward x Oracle Time C65 Dune Shoreline, a 100-piece limited edition marking our 10th anniversary and 100th issue, whose hydraulically-pressed “shoreline” dial (inspired by the wind-sculpted sands of the British coast) proved popular enough that CW rolled it out across a full production range. It now comes in a range of dial colours and case materials, including a bronze version whose case patinas with wear.

Model: Christopher Ward C65 Dune Aeolian
Case/dial: 38mm diameter, stainless steel or bronze, box sapphire crystal
Dial: Multiple (wave-textured)

Christopher Ward Sandhurst Series

C65 Sandhurst Series 2

CW’s tribute to the British Army, and part of its MoD-licensed Military Collection – making it the only CW watch permitted to carry the heraldic badge of the British Army, deep-stamped into the caseback. Based on the 1969 Smiths W10 field watch, it has a textured black dial, bold Arabic numerals and a glass box sapphire crystal. Legibility is a priority: two separate lumes are used across the numerals and rectangular quarter-hour indexes, with a white seconds hand tipped in red.

Model: Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2
Case/dial: 38mm diameter, stainless steel, screw-down crown, box sapphire crystal
Dial: Black textured

Christopher Ward Cranwell Series

C65 Cranwell Series 2

The sister piece to the Sandhurst and the collection’s Royal Air Force tribute, named after RAF College Cranwell. Where the Sandhurst draws on the 1969 Smiths W10, the Cranwell takes its cues from the Jaeger-LeCoultre/IWC Mark XI 6B/346 – a classic bomber-navigator’s watch – giving it a distinctly pilot-style character. The black dial is redesigned for maximum legibility with oversized Arabic numerals printed in Super-LumiNova, Old Radium-coated quarter-hour batons, and a glass box sapphire crystal. The RAF heraldic badge is deep-stamped into the screw-down caseback.

Model: Christopher Ward C65 Cranwell Series 2
Case/dial: 38mm diameter, stainless steel, screw-down crown, box sapphire crystal

Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite

C65 Super Compressor Elite

The super compressor’s trick is counterintuitive: the deeper you dive, the more watertight it becomes, because water pressure itself drives the compression spring against the seal. Ervin Piquerez SA (EPSA) invented that mechanism in the 1950s, and is honoured on the coin centred in the partly open sapphire back – through which you can see the spring itself working. The “Elite” adds a retro decompression-timer scale in sky blue and orange over a sunray-blue gradient dial, with an internal rotating bezel worked by a crown at 2 o’clock.

Model: Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite
Case/dial: 41mm diameter, stainless steel, screw-down crown

Atelier

Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Classic

Atelier is the collective name Christopher Ward uses for its most experimental, high-end designs – the watches that exist to prove a point. Atelier is where CW pushes into genuinely rarefied territory: in-house movements, grand complications, and ideas that most brands at this price point wouldn’t dare attempt. It’s also where the brand has made its biggest statements, from the chiming Bel Canto to the skeletonised Twelve X – watches that have earned CW recognition well beyond its usual audience.

Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto

C1 Bel Canto

The watch that put Christopher Ward on the haute-horology map. Named after the operatic art of “beautiful singing,” it’s an hour chime – a sonnerie au passage, or “passage of time” – that strikes a note every hour via a hammer hitting a steel chime that circles the dial. The movement, Calibre FS01 (named after CW technical director Frank Stelzer), took three years to develop, growing out of the jump-hour module CW had been refining since 2011 – the same base Frank Stelzer had earlier adapted for the Meistersinger Bell Hora. The Grade 5 titanium case was chosen specifically to amplify the chime. It brought a complication usually reserved for watches many times the price within reach, and remains one of the most compelling arguments for what the Atelier range stands for.

Model: Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto
Case/dial: 41mm diameter x 13mm thickness, grade 5 titanium

Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Classic

C1 Bel Canto Classic

A dressier, “Classic” generation of the chiming Bel Canto – same titanium case and FS01 chiming movement, but reworked to feel a little more special. The sunray dial gives way to a guilloché one, and the 12 o’clock display gains slimmer hands and Roman numerals for a more traditional dress-watch feel. A thicker, three-dimensional dial sits under a redesigned box sapphire. It comes in Azzurro, Oro, Verde, Argento and Negroni.

Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Lumiere

C1 Bel Canto Lumière

Part of CW’s lume-focused Lumière sub-collection (which began with the C60 Trident Lumière), it keeps the Bel Canto’s chiming sonnerie but reimagines the dial entirely around light. The dial is built around a smoked sapphire disc, with a Globolight XP© ring marking the hours and minutes at 12 o’clock. Radial Super-LumiNova® lines glow green at the centre and blue around the chiming mechanism. Even the white Aquaflex rubber strap has a glow-in-the-dark lining.

Christopher Ward The Twelve Loco

The C12 Loco

CW’s most ambitious watch to date, and the one that most loudly announces the brand’s in-house ambitions. At its heart is the CW-003, CW’s second ever in-house calibre, developed exclusively for the Loco and hand-wound with a six-day power reserve – an entire day more than the SH21. The movement operates close to chronometer margins despite having no seconds hand – which means, as CW cheerfully notes, it could never be COSC certified even if it wanted to be. The balance wheel itself, created by specialists Feller Pivotages SA, is the visual centrepiece: an exposed, free-sprung wheel that dominates the open dial and gives the watch its locomotive energy. It comes in four colours – Frisco Orange, white, black and electric blue.

Model: Christopher Ward The C12 Loco
Case/dial: 41mm diameter, stainless steel
Dial: Multiple (Frisco Orange, white, black, electric blue)
Water resistance: 50m (5 bar)

Christopher Ward True GMT

C63 True GMT

CW’s first in-house true GMT – and the watch behind the mysterious CW-002, a movement teased back in 2023 before the Loco jumped the queue. That’s why the in-house calibre numbering skips from CW-001 to CW-003: CW-002 was here all along. Unlike the caller GMTs elsewhere in the range, this is a traveller GMT: the 12-hour local time hand can be set independently as you cross zones, with the date disc visible through a window cut into the openworked dial. It trades the 24-hour bezel for a recessed peripheral scale under a domed sapphire crystal, with small seconds at 6 and a power-reserve indicator at 9. It’s available in two colourways: silver-and-orange or black-and-blue.

Model: Christopher Ward C63 True GMT
Case/dial: 40.5mm diameter x 14.15mm thickness, stainless steel
Dial: Silver-and-orange or black-and-blue

Christopher Ward C1 jump Hour MkV

C1 Jump Hour MK V

A revival of Christopher Ward’s long-absent jump-hour complication. The watch is powered by the in-house JJ01 module – named after master watchmaker Johannes Jahnke – which has underpinned CW’s jump-hours since 2011 and forms the very basis of the Bel Canto’s movement. A jump hour replaces the usual hour hand with a ring that snaps forward once an hour; here it sits under a tall domed sapphire crystal, with a sapphire minute scale and a lumed hour ring that glows through the dial in low light. It comes in two dial colours, Noon Blue and Dusk Gold.

Model: Christopher Ward C1 Jump Hour MK V
Case/dial: 39mm diameter x 14mm thickness, stainless steel

Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase

C1 Moonphase

CW’s Moonphase, available in two sizes. The dial is cut from aventurine whose reflective shimmer mimics a starry sky, making every example unique. Unusually, the dial carries no indexes, markers or logo, leaving nothing to compete with the aventurine and the two Globolight XP© moons that arc across it. Those moons are made from a ceramic and Super-LumiNova composite that glows white rather than green in the dark. The in-house JJ04 module keeps the display accurate to within a day every 128 years if kept wound. It comes on the Consort bracelet or a fine Italian leather strap.

Model: Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase
Case/dial: 40mm diameter, stainless steel

Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow

C1 Moonglow

The Moonphase’s darker, more maximalist sibling. Where the Moonphase strips everything back to aventurine and moons, the Moonglow doubles down: a smoked sapphire dial hosts twin oversized Globolight moons in constant rotation – one visible through an aperture at 12, the other obscured behind smoked glass – tracking the moon accurately for 128 years via the JJ04 module. Unlike the Moonphase, it also tells the date, via a lumed rotating ring that stays readable in near-total darkness. It comes on the Consort bracelet or leather strap.
