C5 MALVERN SLIMLINE SQUARE
C5 MALVERN SLIMLINE SQUARE
Creating the perfectly proportioned square
watch had become something of an obsession
at CW Towers ever since we de-listed the
C15 which, by any measurement, was a large
watch. Finally, with the launch of the new
C5 Malvern Slimline Square, we believe that
quest has been achieved.
At 37mm squared, this Malvern sits perfectly on
almost every size of wrist and, with a height of only
8.25mm making it our slimmest ever mechanical
watch, it will slide discreetly under the tightest shirt
or blouse cuff.
We have been quietly re-engineering our Malvern
cases to an even higher standard than previously
and the C5 Slimline Square is the latest beneficiary
of this upgrading process which can only be truly
appreciated in the metal, as it were.
Other notable design elements include the diamond
polished nickel hands which are dual faceted for
both enhanced appeal and easy-reading and the
Côtes de Genève finish on the Sellita SW210-1
hand-wound mechanical movement, which adds to
the joy of being able to see the power unit through
the transparent case-back.

Crown
The C5 Malvern Slimline Square model has a
maximum power reserve of 42 hours when fully
wound. To re-power the watch after a period of
non-use, simply wind the crown for approximately
27 revolutions to achieve a full power reserve.
PLEASE NOTE: As this watch uses a manually
wound mechanical movement, take care not to
overwind the crown past the point of resistance
as it will damage the movement.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR C5 MALVERN

on the quality of our straps and bracelets as we

our straps. Similarly, we only use the finest metals
in the construction of our bracelets, all of which
are precision engineered for durability, efficiency
and comfort.
The following guidelines explain how easy it is to
use and adjust your Christopher Ward strap.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR C5 MALVERN
WATER RESISTANCE
Although your watch has been through vigorous
static pressure testing, it is worth remembering that
there are many variables that can affect the water
resistance of your watch.
For instance, arm movements during swimming
and the sudden impact of diving and water sports
will drastically increase the pressure the watch is
under. Wearing your watch in the bath, shower, or
sauna can also have an effect as a rapid increase
in temperature can cause seals to expand and in
extreme cases, malfunction or create condensation.
For these reasons, the water resistance rating of your
watch (as shown) should only ever be considered
a guideline and we strongly recommend they are
always adhered to.
10 METRES / 30 FEET
Safe to wear your watch while washing
your hands with tap water.
30 METRES / 100 FEET
Washing your car and/or general
hose pipe usage.
50 METRES / 165 FEET
Water resistant to most household
shower units.
100 METRES / 330 FEET
Safe to use while snorkelling in
open water.
300 METRES / 1000 FEET
Ideal for experienced divers and
those practising scuba-diving.
600 METRES / 2000 FEET
Professional divers, experiencing
prolonged exposure underwater.
1000 METRES / 3280 FEET
Professional deep sea diving.

From small beginnings just a few short years ago
(our first workshop was actually a refurbished chicken
shed!), Christopher Ward has won a worldwide
following for his eponymous watch brand and can
justifiably claim to manufacture the most affordable
luxury watches in the world.
For many, the philosophy behind the brand, of trying
to put luxury watches within the reach of everyone,
is as attractive as the watches themselves, as is
the very open approach of the business which
means that Chris and the team spend a lot of time
communicating personally with our customers –
many of whom have become friends.
As the owner of a Christopher Ward watch,
if ever you need to get hold of us we are at
your service. We have listed some useful contact
details on the back cover.
There is also always something new going on
at our website at www.christopherward.co.uk
and, if you haven’t already discovered the
independent forum dedicated to our brand at
www.christopherwardforum.com we would
recommend a visit. Informative and fun, it’s a
great place to hear the unexpurgated view of
Christopher Ward of London!
