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 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited Edition
In a world where the mass-produced, the identikit, is celebrated,
isn’t it fantastic to own something unique?
Something like your beautiful C60 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited
Edition.
While every element of your watch has been through an exhaustive
testing programme, on the C60 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited
Edition, individuality takes centre-stage.
And it starts with a bit of deliberate embellishment.
Before the watch is assembled at our atelier in Switzerland, every dial
is hand-distressed by a specialist artisan using a steel-wire brush.
Not only does this give the dial a chic aged look, but also ensures
no one dial is the same as another.
And it’s not the only part of the watch that’s uniquely yours.
The C60 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited Edition’s brushed
bronze Light-catcher™ case will develop a patina over time, much
like the way a pair of jeans fades as the years pass. Some clean this
away (and we’ve produced a video online to show you how), while
others prefer to let the oxidisation process work its magic.
Neither of these quirks aects the performance of your watch,
but you have to be a particular sort of person to appreciate ‘the
perfection of imperfection’. A person, we suspect, rather like your
good self.

How to operate your C60 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited Edition
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 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited Edition
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.

Water resistance
How to operate your C60 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited Edition
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.
