Owner’s Handbook

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 Lympstone
Congratulations on becoming the owner of a C60 Lympstone.
Ocially approved by the UK Ministry Of Defence, the watch is
named after the Royal Marines’ Commando Training Centre in
Devon. And is a tting – and feature-packed – tribute to one of
the world’s most respected ghting forces.
Built for the most testing of conditions, the dial is constructed in
ultra-tough, ultra-light forged carbon – a material made from
chopped carbon bres infused with resin (there are around 500,000
bres per square inch).
The C60 Lympstone also boasts a rst for Christopher Ward: the
inclusion of a rotating inner-compass bezel which lets you orientate
yourself using the sun. And because this is a watch inspired by the
Royal Marines, it’s also waterproof to 600m.
Of course, a timepiece this special needs a movement of the highest
order. That’s why powering the C60 Lympstone is a chronometer
version of Sellita’s SW200 – a calibre that puts it in the top six
percent of all Swiss-made watches for accuracy.
All these qualities mean the C60 Lympstone will be your trusty
companion wherever, and however, you go. Or as the Royal Marines
motto, laser-engraved onto the back of the timepiece, says:
‘Per mare, per terram’ – by sea, by land.
Enjoy the watch.

Your C60 Lympstone 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 Lympstone
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 Lympstone 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.
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. 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.
