Why Ward Hoard?

We are specialists: We specialise in Christopher Ward watches (plus a few other select brands) - from iconic Tridents to rare Bel Cantos. Whether you're after a latest release or a discontinued classic, our selection offers something for everyone, whether it's your first mechanical watch or you are a long-term enthusiast.

We are trusted: We are well known on the Christopher Ward Forum and all the CW Facebook groups - just ask there for references or do a quick search for previous feedback there. We are really proud of our feedback on Trustpilot (Ward Hoard) and we have 100% positive feedback on eBay too.

We offer friendly advice: The best bit about running a shop like this is the opportunity to talk watches with like-minded folk.

Offers: Due to the fees charged, we can't take any offers here and due to ebay rules, we can't offer to complete the transaction outside of ebay. We also can't provide our contact details.

We offer strap/bracelet options: We want you to get the watch on the strap that you like. We have most of the current CW strap and bracelet options available (new and preloved) as well as an extensive selection of historical straps and bracelets. Find something on our commerce place, and message us and we can adjust the price to reflect any strap change. We offer 10% of the listed prices of any strap/bracelet. We also have an extensive stock of spare parts for bracelets. Please ask and we will be happy to help.

We offer part exchanges/trades: Always up for a part ex or trade (provided it's a CW). We buy watches too: we're always on the hunt for new stock, please get in touch direct if you're selling a CW or two. We've got a form on our commerce site to set out details.

All watches come with a warranty: We offer a minimum six month warranty for CWs (where the CW manufacturer warranty has expired). All warranties are extendable at an additional cost.

We quickly despatch and deliver: Generally, most items are shipped next day. For items sold direct, in the UK, we use Royal Mail Special Delivery for watches (a next day service). For the USA and the rest of the world, we use UPS which normally gets it there within a week. We've got no control over eBay's Global Shipping Programme mind - this seems to take a little longer.

Our shipping is cheap: Other than using eBay's Global Shipping Programme (which we have to use here), shipping for watches is £13.95 in the UK, £28.95 worldwide.

Regular newsletter: We send out a regular newsletter to our subscribers - usually every couple of weeks giving advance notice of new stock listings before they go live on the site and here. Sign up on our website (Ward Hoard).

Quick facts

Description

May 2019 saw the launch of the Mk3 C60 Trident, with Christopher Ward successfully refining and improving its best‑selling dive watch. The watch offered here was never publicly listed. Instead, it was made available exclusively to Royal Navy Submariners via a restricted page on the Christopher Ward website, in line with how the brand has handled most of its bespoke service commissions.

This is the third Submariners' watch produced by Christopher Ward. The first was based on the C60 Mk1 Pro, the second on the C60 Mk2 300 quartz, and this example is based on the 42mm C60 Pro 600 Mk3. Of the three, it represents the most fully realised execution, benefiting from the Mk3 case, dial and bezel updates that defined this generation of the Trident.

What sets this version apart further is the caseback. While it is often described as the first Submariners' C60 to feature an exhibition caseback, the accompanying documentation confirms that it was in fact the first C60 of any type to use a clear caseback. That detail alone makes it a notable point in the Trident timeline, combining a restricted military commission with a feature that would only later appear in regular production models.
