C65 AM GT Limited Edition
When the dierence between victory and defeat is milliseconds,
accuracy is vital. That’s why motorsport has always been at the
forefront of timing technology – something that’s encapsulated by the
‘chronograph’: a timepiece that combines timekeeping with stopwatch
complications.
The golden age of the racing chronograph stretched between the
1950s and ’70s. And it’s this period the C65 AM GT Limited Edition
celebrates.
The rst thing you’ll notice is the beautiful 41mm dial. Replacing the
traditional ‘12-hour’ design with a speedometer aesthetic inuenced
by the dashboard of the Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, the dial also carries
the DNA of two earlier Christopher Ward chronographs: the C9 DB4
‘1 VEV’ and C9 AM GT.
Powered by the ETA 251.264 quartz movement, there’s a wealth of
timing options available, from the centre-stop seconds function to
the 60-minute and 12-hour counters, plus the 1/10 seconds register.
There’s also a tachymeter bezel to calculate the speed of passing
vehicles at the track.
All of this is possible thanks to the COSC-certied ETA 251.264, one
of the most accurate quartz movements ever created, which boasts
a tolerance of just -10/+10 seconds per year (0.027 seconds a day).
And its thermo-compensated structure means extreme heat won’t
aect its accuracy either.
With one foot in the past and one placed rmly in contemporary
watchmaking, the C65 AM GT Limited Edition is the perfect watch
for those who like retro-chic backed up by the technical advances
of today.

How to operate your C65 AM GT Limited Edition
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.
• To advance or reverse the date, pull out the crown into position
3. Turn in a clockwise direction to advance the date, anti-
clockwise to reverse the date (please note the hour hand will
jump in incremental steps). Once the hour hand passes
12 o’clock, the date wheel will jump forwards or backwards
based on the direction used. Please note that the date wheel
cannot be changed independently.
• Pull gently into position 4. This position is used 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. 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.
