Time on your side
Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed in Britain

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 Elite GMT 1000
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s actually a dive watch capable
of being submerged to depths of 1000m – but with its GMT-ready
movement, the C60 Elite GMT 1000 is just as at home ying at the
edge of the Earth’s atmosphere at huge speeds!
As a new member of the Elite family, the GMT inherits serious
technical credentials. Engineered from Grade 2 titanium –
a material boasting the highest strength-to-density ratio of any
metallic element, whilst being corrosion-resistant and unobtrusively
lightweight – it’s undoubtedly a heavy-duty watch; yet it’s also this
same material that enables it to rank as one of the lightest Tridents
in the collection.
Featuring an integrated automatic Helium Release Valve (HRV),
a uni-directional ceramic bezel and an exhibition caseback, not only
will it assist with equalisation during ascent from a dive, but it’s
indicative of the robust technicality and modern dive watch looks
that run throughout the GMT 1000.
Yet one glance at its dial will tell you that this isn’t an ordinary
diver. (Perhaps it’s something to do with the 24-hour ring around
the dial’s edge, or the brightly coloured GMT hand…) Powered
by a Swiss-made Sellita SW330 movement, the Elite not only
allows its wearer to track the time in two timezones at once; the
inclusion of countdown markings on its bezel means it can be used
simultaneously as a diving instrument too.
The C60 Elite GMT 1000: CW’s rst true dive watch with GMT
functionality. Dive (or y) away – it’s up to you!

Your C60 Elite GMT 1000 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 20 revolutions. Normal
wearing will very quickly allow the rotor to start re-powering the
watch over time after putting it on your wrist.

For a superior water resistance your crown is of the screw-in 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 GMT 1000 has a maximum power
reserve of 42 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 an
anti-clockwise direction. To set the GMT hand, turn the crown
clockwise and rotate the hand until you have reached the desired
time indication. The GMT hand moves in one-hour increments.
• 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 3 to avoid
advancing beyond the desired date. You must always ensure the
crown is fully tightened before any use in water.
