C60 Trident Chronograph Pro
C60 Trident Chronograph Pro 600
Built to the most exacting standards, the
C60 Trident Chronograph Pro 600 is a watch
created for diving professionals that even
non-swimmers will covet.
The boldness of the deep navy and metallic yellow
dial design catches the eye immediately and upon
closer inspection it is easy to be impressed with the
intricacies of what may be our most detailed dial to
date. Worthy of special attention is the 60 seconds
sub-dial which “breathes” via a rotating disc behind
a cut-out display delivering ease of reading for the
diver as well as a fascinating appeal for the more
casual wearer.
The uni-directional ceramic bezel has been enhanced
with the professional diver in mind by the addition
of a full minute-track, and a better dened font
for the numerals which are lled with high-grade
Super-Luminova®for outstanding luminosity.
Engineered to resist water at up to depths of 600
metres (2000 feet) the uid contours of the Trident
case, which also incorporates an automatic helium
release valve, surround one of the most reliable and
robust chronograph movements, the self-winding
ETA Valjoux 7750.
All told, therefore, this is a remarkable watch that
signals another milestone in an unfolding story
that positions Christopher Ward in the vanguard of
British watch design.

How to operate your C60 Trident Chronograph Pro
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
2 for winding in power. Wind in
a clockwise direction to re-power the watch.
Your C60 Trident has a maximum power reserve
of 48 hours when fully wound. Normal wearing
will allow the rotor to start re-powering the
watch over time after putting it on your wrist.
• For rapid date correction pull gently into position
3 and turn in a clockwise direction.
• Pull gently into position
4 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.
You must always ensure the crown is fully
tightened before any use in water to prevent
moisture from entering the case.

NOTE: Do not operate the chronograph pushers
under water in order to prevent water entering the
mechanism. The pushers should sit flush to the case

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 10.09am.
However the bezel marker is at the 12.00 hr position.
– Move the bezel marker anti-clockwise so
that it aligns with the 9 minute position.
– You can now read that the 55 minute no
decompression limit will occur at 4 minutes
past the next hour.
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.

Straps and bracelets
As you would expect, we place as much
emphasis on the quality of our straps and
bracelets as we do our watches. We only use

of our bracelets, all of which are precision
engineered for durability, eciency and comfort.
The following guidelines explain how easy
it is to use and adjust your Christopher Ward
strap or bracelet.

Water resistance
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.
1 ATM (10 metres)
Safe to wear your watch while
washing your hands with tap water.
3 ATM (30 metres)
Washing your car and/or
general hose pipe usage.
5 ATM (50 metres)
Water resistant to most
household shower units.
15 ATM (150 metres)
Safe to use while snorkelling
in open water.
30 ATM (300 metres)
Ideal for experienced divers and
those practising scuba-diving.
60 ATM (600 metres)
Professional divers, experiencing
prolonged exposure underwater.
100 ATM (1000 metres)
Professional deep sea diving.

From small beginnings just a few short years ago
(our rst workshop was actually a refurbished
chicken shed!), Christopher Ward has won a worldwide
following for his eponymous watch brand and can
justiably claim to manufacture the most aordable
luxury watches in the world.
For many, the philosophy behind the brand, of trying

is the very open approach of the business which
means that Chris and the team spend a lot of time
communicating personally with our customers –
many of whom have become friends.
