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 Sandhurst Bronze Series 2
As a brand licensed by His Majesty’s Ministry Of Defence to produce
watches bearing ocial insignia, Christopher Ward is proud to present
the second-generation C65 Sandhurst.
Like the original C65 Sandhurst, this stunning bronze version takes the
classic 1969 Smiths W10 as its starting point but brings the design up
to date with improved luminosity on the indexes and Arabic numbers
(we use two separate lumes), and a bold design that’s even easier to
read.
Yet there are some dierences between the C65 Sandhurst and the
W10. Taking pride of place upon the backplate, the British Army’s
Heraldic badge has been intricately embossed, its lion, crown and
crossed swords deep-stamped with polished surfaces.
Not only is the C65 Sandhurst Bronze an ocially licensed tribute to
the British Army, it doubles as a reminder of the continuum of UK
watch design throughout the ages.

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
2for winding in power. Wind in a clockwise direction to re-power
the watch. Your C65 Sandhurst Bronze Series 2 has a maximum
power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound. Normal wearing will
allow the rotor to start re-powering the watch over time after
putting on your wrist.
• Pull gently into position 3. This position is used for handsetting
and stopping of the seconds hand. For precise time setting
it is recommended to pass beyond the desired minute and to
set the hand backwards.

Straps
As you would expect, we place as much
emphasis on the quality of our straps as
we do our watches. We only use the nest
materials in our straps, with quick-release
pins also included for your convenience.
The following guidelines explain how
easy it is to use, adjust and replace your
Christopher Ward strap. 1. Locate the quick-release pin on your strap.
Pull the pin to the side to detach your strap.
2. To reattach your strap, align the pins
to the lug holes and click the strap into
position. Repeat for the other side.

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.
