C60 Elite 1000
Who says you can’t admire the engineering inside a dive watch?
In the C60 Elite 1000 – a model that includes a display caseback
whilst retaining its 1000m water resistance – such a possibility has
now become a reality. A feature initially introduced as part of the C60
Apex, a model engineered to represent the pinnacle of the brand’s
technical achievement, the inclusion of a sapphire crystal on the Elite
1000’s reverse is important for two reasons. Not only does it signify
the quality of the materials used in its construction; it also allows its
owner to admire its decorated Sellita SW220 movement inside!
This is the dichotomy of the Elite 1000. Crafted from Grade 2
titanium, a material boasting the highest strength-to-density ratio
of any metallic element, it’s undoubtedly a heavy-duty dive watch;
yet it’s also this same material that enables it to be the lightest
Trident we’ve created when worn on its full titanium bracelet.
Factor in chronometer status, day date functionality, a choice of
blue or black colour schemes, plus elements such as improved bezel
function and Grade X1 GL C1 Super-LumiNova®, and one thing’s for
certain: the C60 Elite 1000 once again raises the bar for what
a professional dive watch can oer at this level.

Your C60 Elite 1000 has a maximum power reserve of 38 hours when
fully wound. To re-power the watch after a period of non-use, simply
wind the crown for approximately 20 revolutions. Normal wearing
will very quickly allow the rotor to start re-powering the watch over
time after putting it on your wrist.

How to operate your C60 Elite 1000
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 Elite 1000 has a maximum power reserve of
38 hours when fully wound. Normal wearing will allow the rotor to
start re-powering the watch overtime after putting on your wrist.
After a period of non-use we recommend that you manually wind
the watch at least 20 times to ensure there is sucient power
in the watch before the rotor maintains the power.
• Pull gently into position 3. For rapid date correction, turn in a
clockwise direction. For rapid day correction turn in an anti-clock-
wise direction.
• Pull gently into position 4. 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.

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. You must always ensure the
crown is fully tightened before any use in water.
