Time on your side
Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed in Britain
and engineered in Switzerland by highly talented craftspeople.
This ensures not only accurate and precise timekeeping, but also
brings a real pride of ownership that only watches of the highest
quality standards can hope to deliver.
You have made an investment, a good one, and the aim of this
manual is to help you make the most of that investment in what
we hope will be a lifetime of ownership.

C60 Bronze Ombré Green COSC LE
That’s rather a beautiful watch you’ve got there.
Of course, you don’t need us to tell you how fantastic that ombré
dial looks. Or how the hunter-green palette provides a perfect
contrast to the handset and indexes. Or that the 42mm bronze
Light-catcher™case wears small and snug despite its generous size.
In fact, you probably think you know all there is to know about the
C60 Bronze Ombré Green COSC LE. What you don’t know yet is how
much you’ll fall in love with it.
From the moment you strap it on, the bronze case will develop
its own unique patina, which not only protects it from corrosion,
but changes its appearance over time. Meanwhile, the
hunter-green ombré dial has been distressed by hand, meaning
no single dial is the same as another. It really is one of a kind.
All watches take on elements of their owners, but few do it so
beautifully as your C60 Bronze Ombré Green COSC LE. From the
unique dial to that ever-changing bronze case, this is a watch that
could only be yours.
Enjoy your time together.

How to operate your C60 Bronze Ombré Green COSC LE
For a superior water resistance your crown is of the screw-down
type. The crown should sit ush to the case (position 1) in order
to maintain water resistance.
• First unscrew the crown anti-clockwise from the case to position
2for winding in power. Wind in a clockwise direction to re-power
the watch. Your C60 Bronze Ombré Green COSC LE has a
maximum power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound. Normal
wearing will allow the rotor to start re-powering the watch over
time after putting on your wrist.
• Pull gently into position 3. For rapid date correction, turn in a
clockwise direction.
• Pull gently into position 4. This position is used for handsetting
and stopping of the seconds hand. For precise time setting it is
recommended to pass beyond the desired minute and to set the
hand backwards.

Unscrew and then pull
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 3to avoid
advancing beyond the desired date. You must always ensure the
crown is fully tightened before any use in water.

If using the bezel for a dive and let’s say the recognised maximum
“no-stop time” is 55 minutes, then in this example (shown right)
the time at the surface immediately before the dive is 10.08am.
However the bezel marker is at the 12.00 hr position.
• Move the bezel marker anti-clockwise so that it aligns with the
8 minute position.
• You can now read that the 55 minute no decompression limit
will occur at 3 minutes past the next hour.
Diving with your watch
PLEASE NOTE:
It is always useful and best practice to make a note on a dive slate
before entering the water and to carry a set of dive tables should the
dive plan change during the course of a dive. A safety stop for 3 to 5
minutes at 15ft is recommended at the end of all dives. A safety stop
for 3 minutes at 15ft is required any time you come within 3 pressure
groups of a no decompression limit, and for any dive to a depth of
100ft or deeper.

Straps
As you would expect, we place as much
emphasis on the quality of our straps as
we do our watches. We only use the nest
materials in our straps, with quick-release
pins also included for your convenience.
The following guidelines explain how
easy it is to use, adjust and replace your
Christopher Ward strap. 1. Locate the quick-release pin on your strap.
Pull the pin to the side to detach your strap.
2. To reattach your strap, align the pins
to the lug holes and click the strap into
position. Repeat for the other side.

Water resistance
Although your watch has been through vigorous static pressure
testing, it is worth remembering that there are many variables
that can aect 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 eect 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.
