Here we have a 2022 Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine GMT inspired by the early dive watches of the 1950s and the famous Blancpain 50 Fathoms; a 41mm stainless steel case curves over your wrist with tapered lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 46.5mm and a case thickness of 12.5mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. This striking Christopher Ward’s Light-catcher case has polished and brushed surfaces that transition with crisp edges. On the right side, a screw-down signed crown, the bi-directional bezel has deep knurling for extra grip and a sapphire insert with Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL lumed 24-hour numerals holding a domed sapphire crystal AR coated above a matte Black dial. An outer minute track has applied disc and slender trapezoid indexes infilled with “Light Old Radium” Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL lume for that vintage aesthetic; at 6 o’clock, a date window, diamond polished hands infilled with the same lume, with a red arrow GMT hand complemented by a lollipop trident counterweighted sweeping second hand. At 12 o’clock, we have the Christopher Ward motif; at 6 o’clock, a red GMT “Automatic 200m/660ft” printed in white underneath completes this dynamic travel companion. On the reverse a screw-down exhibition case back, inside an automatic Sellita SW330-2 Elaboré, 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour. The watch comes fitted on its Christopher Ward 22mm rubber strap with a signed buckle, and it comes with a Christopher Ward presentation box and paperwork.
