CHRISTOPHER WARD C60 Trident ELITE 1000

Here’s something really nice from Christopher Ward; so nice in fact it’s almost worthy of an expletive or two – oh f#ck it; I can’t lie; it’s really bloody nice!

Arriving alongside CW’s Trident 3, is the C60 Trident Elite 1000, a special new addition to the CW diver family.



With a Helium Escape Valve and a Grade 2 Titanium case water-resistant to 1000m, the C60 Tridnet Elite is CW’s range topping diver’s watch.

That's before any mention has been made of this 300-piece limited edition's chronometer-certified movement and its eye popping blue and orange colorway.



The C60 Trident Elite 1000, whose 1000m of water-resistance and automatic HEV underscore its status as a professional diver’s watch make it not only CW’s most capable diver offering thus far, but also the British watchmaker’s coolest looking diver to date.



The Elite 1000, Trident 3's new case design has been crafted from brushed Grade 2 Titanium which is prized for its anti-corrosive qualities as well as processing the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metallic element.

Combined with a 3.8mm thick Sapphire crystal, the Elite 1000 has been engineered to be impressively robust for its slender 75g weight.



Several of the upgrades introduced as part of Trident 3 can also be found in the Elite 1000.

The application of Grade X1 GL C1 SuperLumiNova fulfills a long-standing customer request for a fully lumed bezel, which also sports a sexy-looking orange 15-minute track and lume triangle.



A sumptuous glossy blue dial, combined with SuperLumiNova-filled hands and brushed and polished indexes, designed for exceptional clarity in all lighting conditions; CW’s signature trident-shaped counter-balance also makes a welcome return.



Inside the C60 Trident Elite 1000, is COSC version of the Sellita SW200 with a custom rotor decorated with a Colimaçoné finish and engraved with the twin flags pattern reflective of CW’s Anglo-Swiss partnership.



Finally this new dive watch gets a Cordura and rubber hybrid waterproof strap with Titanium buckle and quick-release pins for easy changing.

The new C60 Trident Elite 1000 can be pre-ordered now for June. It has a UK MSRP of £1,250.
