C65 Anthropocene Limited Edition
Whilst part of a range that has become a true bestseller in the
Christopher Ward Collection, the new C65 Anthropocene is a release
whose inspiration carries a distinctively personal touch.
Its roots can be traced back to when Jennifer France, daughter of
CW co-founder Mike, starred in ‘Anthropocene’, a 2019 production by
Scottish Opera. For those unaware of the word, its etymology derives
from Greek: ‘anthropo’ for ‘man’ and ‘cene’ for ‘new’, referring to a
scientic theory that suggests we’ve entered a new era – one where
mankind has had an irreversible impact upon this planet. Grim in
sentiment, undoubtedly, but its message wasn’t the inuence behind the
wintry new C65: it was the ethereal visuals found amongst the opera’s
frozen landscapes that spurred Mike’s mind into action for this
300-piece limited edition.
Reecting a narrative that sees a ship and its scientist crew become
stranded in the middle of polar ice, the Anthropocene juxtaposes an
orange GMT hand against a far greater matte white dial. Yet this is
a dive watch after all, with legibility a crucial factor; as a result, its
indexes, hands and 24-hour aluminium bezel are nished in black.
Limited to 300 pieces, the C65 Anthropocene is a watch born
for adventure – just steer clear of any particularly treacherous polar
expeditions for now…

The crown should sit ush to the case (position 1) in order to
maintain water resistance.
• To re-power the watch after a period of non-use, simply wind
the crown in a clockwise direction. Your C65 Anthropocene
Limited Edition has a maximum power reserve of 42 hours
when fully wound.
• Pull gently into position 2. For rapid date correction, turn in an
anti-clockwise direction. To set the GMT hand, turn the crown
clockwise and rotate the hand until you have reached the desired
time indication. The GMT hand moves in one-hour increments.
• To set the time pull out the crown gently into position 3. This
position is used for handsetting and stopping of the second hand.
Turn the crown until you reach the correct time e.g. 10.08 hr.
For precise time setting it is recommended you pass beyond
the desired minute and to set the hand backwards.

PLEASE NOTE:
Date correction should not be carried out between 18.00 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 3 to avoid
advancing beyond the desired date.
