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 Sapphire Black
Congratulations on becoming the owner of a C60 Sapphire Black.
The result of years of research, experimentation and hard work,
it’s a timepiece that’s both beautiful and tough. Beautiful, because
of the translucent sapphire dial that lets you see deep into the
mechanics of the watch. Tough, because it’s a Trident: a diving
watch able to function at depths of up to 600m.
The pure, lab-grown sapphire dial has been machined to a thickness
of just 0.8mm. Its ‘smoked’ colour is achieved by exposure to silver
and carbon graphite vapour in a vacuum-sealed chamber. In total,
the sapphire goes through 20 steps and 80 operations before it’s
ready. Not only is sapphire crystal alluring, but its durability means
it will continue looking perfect and unblemished for far longer than
virtually any other material used for dials, including ceramic and
enamel.
Powering the watch is a Sellita SW200, a Swiss-made self-winding
movement known for its accuracy and reliability. You’ll be able to
see it working through both the front and back of the watch.
We want to thank you for buying this watch. Wear it in good health.

How to operate your C60 Sapphire Black
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 Sapphire Black 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.

How to operate your C60 Sapphire Black
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.
