In today’s digital world, it’s somehow reassuring to revisit the old school charms of analogue every so often. In an era where people listen to vinyl records on state of the art digital sound systems, the C65 Trident Diver isn’t just proof that the old and new can co-exist; this is a watch that takes the strengths of each, and then emphasises them further. Not only blending dive and dress elements, but fusing vintage capabilities with modern engineering, the C65 Trident Diver is the watch Christopher Ward would have made if they had existed back in 1965. From the matte black dial, to its Old Radium-filled indexes, numerals and hands (baton shaped, of course), the Trident Diver is a watch whose design sits comfortably in amongst the many famous divers of the ‘60s period. This vintage influence extends to its case – like many divers before it, sized at the sweet spot of 41mm and the presence of a glassbox sapphire crystal. Reflecting the movements used at the time, the Trident Diver also features a hand-wound mechanical calibre – in this case, the Swiss-made Sellita SW210. The C65 Trident Diver: the essence of analogue, captured through the prism of the modern day.
This Mens Christopher Ward C65 Trident Diver watch is one of the early models that were first released, these models feature a Sellita SW210 hand wound movement (rather then the more common Automatic model), which is now sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, it is housed in a stainless steel case and has the classic Trident design on the back case. The watch is equipped with a "Vintage Oak" aged two-piece leather strap, a black dial, and a 41mm round watch case, making it a stylish and functional timepiece for everyday wear, in the office or out for a meal.
The stick-style, lumed hands are simple, save for the delicate Trident counterweight on the seconds hand, one of the most eye-catching design elements on the watch. The Christopher Ward written logo is in white at at 9 o'clock and the clever St. George's/Swiss Cross brand logo is debossed at 12 o'clock
With original box and manual included, this watch offers a unique and high-quality option for those looking for a reliable and stylish wrist watch.
This watch has never been used, I have only removed it from its box to take pictures and put it on my wrist to take photos. I also removed the protective plastic film from the case to take photos but it was then put straight back on once I had finished. This Timepiece is in Immaculate condition and has only ever been stored away in a cupboard. It comes with the original booklets and cleaning cloth.
The watch runs great, there's something more personal about a watch you hand wind daily, it has a 42 hour power reserve.
I have described this watch to the best of my ability so would appreciate no returns, Photos will form part of the description so please have a good look. Although this watch has never been worn and is very close to new, no guarantees can be given regarding it's water resistance as it is being sold as an excellent condition preowned watch.
Any questions don't hesitate to message me.
I will post in 2 to 3 days although usually a lot quicker and the watch will be well packaged.
