C5 MALVERN MK II
C5 MALVERN QUARTZ MK II
The quartz version of this CW classic is
a masterpiece of understated English
design combined with Swiss watchmaking
excellence.
The new 39mm case is engineering perfection
as is the Ronda 515 quartz movement. However,
the white metal dial is the real tour-de-force of
the C5, offering, as it does a more contemporary
feel to this quintessentially English design.
The Malvern MK II is a worthy successor to
its famous predecessor. A new legend in
the making.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING THE TIME/DATE
For a superior water resistance your crown is of the
screw-in type. To get to position
1
turn the crown
anti-clockwise until it releases itself.
• Pull gently into position
2
. For rapid date
correction, turn in a clockwise direction.
• Pull gently into position
3
. This position is used for
handsetting, and stopping of the second hand.
For precise time setting it is recommended to
pass beyond the desired minute and to set the
hand backwards.
• Push the crown back into position
1
and screw
the crown in a clockwise direction in order to
maintain water resistance. The crown should sit
flush to the case.
PLEASE NOTE: The date cannot be changed
during the date changing phase between 21.00 hrs
and 02.00 hrs as the watch gearing will already
be aligning itself to change the date. The crown
should always be screwed in after adjustment,
and it is best to do so from position
3
to avoid
advancing beyond the desired date.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
1 ATM (10 mETREs)
Safe to wear your watch while
washing your hands with tap water.
3 ATM (30 mETREs)
Washing your car and/or general
hose pipe usage.
5 ATM (50 mETREs)
Water resistant to most household
shower units.
10 ATM (100 mETREs)
Safe to use while snorkelling in
open water.
30 ATM (300 mETREs)
Ideal for experienced divers and
those practising scuba-diving.
50 ATM (500 mETREs)
Professional divers, experiencing
prolonged exposure underwater.
100 ATM (1000 mETREs)
Professional deep sea diving.

From small beginnings just a few short years ago
(ourrstworkshopwasactuallyarefurbished
chicken shed!), Christopher Ward has won a
worldwide following for his eponymous watch
brandandcanjustiably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.
