Here we have a 2024 Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine Blue Automatic 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, brushed surfaces that transition with crisp edges. On the right side, a screw-down signed crown, the uni-directional bezel has deep knurling for extra grip, and a sapphire insert with Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL C1 lumed 60-minute numerals holding a domed sapphire crystal AR coated above a sunburst blue dial. An outer minute chapter ring has applied disc and slender dagger indexes filled with Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL C1 lume; at 6 o’clock, a date window, diamond polished hands infilled with the same lume complemented by a red-tipped trident counterweighted sweeping second hand. At 12 o’clock, we have the Christopher Ward motif; at 6 o’clock, a red “Automatic” and “200m/660ft” printed in white underneath complete this dynamic sports dive watch. On the reverse, a screw-down exhibition case back, inside an automatic Sellita SW200-1 Elaboré, 26 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour, decorated in a bespoke “Colimaçoné” finish (a type of twisting sunray graining), the rotor has a double Twin-flag engraving across it. The watch comes paired with its original 22mm Christopher Ward quick-release brushed marine-grade stainless steel bracelet with a signed micro-adjusted ratchet clasp, all spare links are included, and the watch comes with its Christopher Ward presentation box and paperwork.
