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.

C65 GMT Worldtimer
In an age where we can connect with friends and family around the
world in seconds, the C65 GMT Worldtimer serves as a mechanical
reminder of the many sublime places that exist upon our planet.
Now, imagine back to the 1960s: a time where commercial supersonic
ights had just arrived, destinations that had once been but a pipe
dream for many were now within reach and Pan Am pilots were revered
like rockstars. It’s this spirit of liberation that’s captured in the C65 GMT
Worldtimer.
Inheriting the ‘60s dive watch cues atypical of our C65 family, this new
addition then debuts worldtimer functionality, plus a GMT hand powered
by a Swiss-made Sellita SW330 movement. Signicant for being the rst
time both have been present together in any CW release, the two
combine to oer multiple solutions for tracking various timezones
abroad.
And while its enlarged worldtimer bezel might tell you exactly what
the current time is in Dhaka, the C65’s protruding ‘glass box’ crystal,
baton-shaped hands and tool watch aesthetic may just convince you
that you’re in the mid-1960s!

How to operate your C65 GMT Worldtimer
Your C65 GMT Worldtimer has a maximum power reserve
of 42 hours when fully wound. To re-power the watch after a
period of non-use, simply wind the crown in a clockwise direction
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.

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 GMT Worldtimer 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 seconds 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 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 3 to avoid
advancing beyond the desired date.

Using the GMT hand for travel
Set the time in your new destination by pulling the crown into
position 3and move the hour/minute hands until they indicate
the desired time.
Push crown into position 2and wind, clockwise, the GMT hand
around the 24-hour scale on the 24 hour dial ring/rehaut until you
have the right time at home. E.g. If you’re travelling from London
at 12:10 to New York, you would turn the hour/minute hands to 7:10
(New York time is ve hours behind London) and wind the GMT
hand around to the 12:10 position.
Once set, it means that, for example, you can gauge the time to
ring your friends and family without waking them in the middle of
the night.

How to use the GMT hand if you’re staying at home
If you have relatives or work colleagues in another timezone, you can
use the GMT hand to mark what time it is in their country. Just gently
pull the crown into position 2, then use the 24-hour dial ring/rehaut
(note the contrasting ‘day’, and ‘night’ sections) to set the time there.
E.g. If the GMT in London is 12:05, in Australia it would be 22:05
(+10 hours).

How to operate your C65 GMT Worldtimer
• The rotating bezel with international cities has no relationship to the GMT
hand. Instead it’s a tool to gauge the time instantly in another part of the
world. By rotating the bezel of your watch to the current GMT time, you
can see the time in the other time zones separated by a full hour.
• To set the bezel to a specic city location, rotate the bezel clockwise or
anti-clockwise until your home time zone reaches the current time on
the 24 hour dial ring/rehaut (e.g. if you’re in the UK and it’s 2pm, move
‘London’ to 14.00). From there you can work out the time in any part of
the world (eg: at 14.00 in the UK, it’s 22.00 in Hong Kong).

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.
