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.

The Sealander collection
There are few things more human than the urge to explore.
To travel, search or discover – just for the joy of it.
And when you do explore, you need a timepiece that’s not only
accurate but rugged enough to handle whatever comes its way.
This is the thinking behind the Sealander collection. And the reason
your new watch looks and functions the way it does.
Whether you’ve gone for the C63 Sealander Automatic (the ‘purest’
Sealander), the internationally-minded C63 Sealander GMT or the
titanium C63 Sealander Elite, you’re wearing a watch that’s inspired
by the sports-explorer watches of the mid 20th century.
But Sealanders are also made for the modern world – a world where
leisure and work mix, and where adventure and business are often
the same. Watches that are tough but nished to such a high
specication, they’re as at home in a high-end restaurant as they
are up the side of a mountain.

Mike France, our CEO, was one of the main driving forces behind
the collection. He knew Christopher Ward needed to produce
a range of sports watches that sit somewhere between the
practicality of a C60 Trident Pro 600 and the retro-sophistication
of a C65 Trident Auto.
“These pieces are as tough as a dive watch, but underplay it
with more modest, bezel-free lines,” he says. “They can be worn
anywhere, and as work and home life continue to blend, that’s
become more relevant than ever.”
Now you know the thinking behind your new watch, you have but
one task: to strap it on and see where your explorations take you.

C63 Sealander GMT
Exploration is not just an activity. But a state of mind. And it’s the
spirit of exploration that permeates every part of your beautiful
C63 Sealander GMT.
Like other timepieces in the Sealander range, it’s a do-anything,
go-everywhere watch.
But what sets it apart is its classic ‘GMT-explorer’ design – which
boasts a xed 24-hour bezel rather than the rotating one you’ll nd
on regular GMT watches. There’s a reason for this.
GMT-explorers were originally made for pro-cavers (AKA ‘spelunkers’)
who could become disorientated after long periods in the dark.
With no daylight to guide them, they set the GMT hand to their
present time zone, using the xed 24-hour bezel.
If they lost track of time, the GMT hand would tell them whether it
was, for example, 10:00 or 22:00. And they could rely on it because
the bezel never moved.
On the C63 Sealander GMT you can use the GMT function this way,
or set it to another time zone as you would on a regular GMT. Just
line up the ultra-visible GMT hand with your preferred time zone on
the bezel and you’ll be set.
While much of the appeal of the C63 Sealander GMT is in its looks –
and it’s very handsome – there’s something satisfying about knowing
it’ll have your back if you ever decide to try a spot of underground
exploration. Well, you can’t be too careful, can you?

Your C63 Sealander GMT has a maximum power reserve of
up to 56 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.
