Christopher Ward, the English watchmaker founded in 2004, has unveiled the C60 Trident Chronograph PRO 600. Billed as “a watch created for diving professionals that even non-swimmers will covet,” it is the company’s first chronograph in its Trident collection.
The C60 Trident Chronograph sports a striking dark blue dial with a distinctive wave pattern and sub-dials ringed in metallic yellow at the 12 and 6 o’clock marks. There is also a running hand indicator at 9 o’clock. It appears to breath thanks to a rotating partly lumed disc behind a cut-out. The thick hour and minutes hand give it a high readability while the signature second hand with trident counter-balance gives it a unique flair. A wide uni-directional ceramic diving bezel rings the dial.
