Today's example is a Trident C65, in the very popular black colour. It has a large 41mm Steel case and is powered by the Automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement, which boasts 38 hours of power reserve.

Refined, clean and legible. Three must haves in a quality tool watch and all three are present on the C65 Trident Automatic. The use of round indices, stick batons at 12,3,6 and 9 as well as the unobtrusive hands really do add to the quintessential diving aesthetic. I believe this is one of the most impressive features of the piece, Christopher Ward have managed to create a watch that really has that ‘feel’ of a reissued watch. This is something many companies with genuine history, with genuine models they could pay homage to, struggle with.

This guy seems to be in very good pre-owned condition. It comes with the Box (Sleeve missing) and warranty card and is still under Christopher Ward's 5 year Warranty, which runs out in January 2026.
