C3 Malvern Chronograph Forum Edition
C3 Malvern Chronograph Forum Edition
The culmination of numerous ideas and
suggestions by its members (plus many
more impressively Photoshopped images),
the C3 Forum Limited Edition brings to life
the most popular design as voted for
by the CW Forum’s members in 2017.
Fully materialised, the results are mightily
impressive.
The seventh Forum Limited Edition created, and
the rst to be released after a year’s hiatus, the
C3 Malvern Chronograph Mk III provides a sound
foundation upon which Forum members could build
their own distinctive vision.
Although the case and Ronda 3520.D movement
remain the same as the Mk III, there have been some
bold changes. At its tip, the FLE’s second hand is
nished in red, while a unique blue and white
subdial conguration epitomises the character and
community of the Forum (and proves a useful exercise
for prospective alternate C3 designs, too!).
Since its inception in 2005, the Forum has been a
place for CW acionados to sound o as well as an
invaluable tool for all at CW to listen to customer
feedback, whilst also helping inform future releases.
An apt way of showing how the process can come
full circle, the C3 Forum Limited Edition – a watch
whose run is limited to just fty pieces – showcases
our thanks to the Forum for their continued support
for the past twelve years. We’re certain its pride of
place is assured in any Forum member’s collection.

1. Crown position

3. Time setting

How to operate your C3 Malvern Chronograph
The crown should sit ush to the case (position 1 )
in order to maintain water resistance.
• For rapid date correction pull gently into
position
2 and turn in an anti-clockwise direction.
• For setting the time pull gently into position
3
and turn clockwise to advance the time. For
precise time setting it is recommended to pass
beyond the desired minute and to set the hand
backwards.
• Push the crown back to position
1 .
PLEASE NOTE: Date correction should not be
carried out between 20.00 hr and 02.00 hr
as the watch gearing will already be aligning
itself to change the date. The crown should
always be pushed in after adjustment,
and it is best to do so from position 3 to
avoid advancing beyond the desired date.
