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 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited Edition
Can a watch founded upon elements rooted in the past still feel
refreshing and vibrant?
In the C65 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited Edition, that question
is answered with a resounding yes. On paper, there’s reason to be
sceptical: its 41mm case is constructed from bronze, a material
associated with maritime history, while it’s also part of the
C65 Collection, a range rooted in ‘60s dive watch design. But with
a contrasting bronze and black colour scheme punctuated by
moments of T-C1 white Super-LumiNova®, the C65 is a watch that
belies its past inuences to feel wholly new.
This is helped in no small part by a predominant feature that
dierentiates this watch from many others: its dial. Starting with
a blank piece of bronze as its canvas, the C65’s dial has been
delicately hand-scratched, with its textured nish fading towards a
varnished black edge (the term ‘Ombré’ refers to this gradual blend).
The human aspect involved is an important part of what makes the
C65 so special: it means every dial in its 500-piece run is completely
one-of-a-kind – just like each bronze case will develop its own unique
personality over time.
With a Swiss-made chronometer-certied movement ticking away
inside, not only can the C65 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC Limited
Edition be relied upon for its precision timekeeping; with bronze’s
potential to develop its own patina, it’s a watch that will reveal
something new every time – simply by looking down at your wrist.

How to operate your C65 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC

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 Trident Bronze
Ombré COSC 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 2. For rapid date correction, turn in
an clockwise direction.
• 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.

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.

How to operate your C65 Trident Bronze Ombré COSC
If using the bezel for a dive and let’s say the recognised maximum
“no-stop time” is 55 minutes, then in this example (shown on page
9) the time at the surface immediately before the dive is 10.08am.
However the bezel marker is at the 12.00 hr position.
• Move the bezel marker anti-clockwise so that it aligns with the
8 minute position.
• You can now read that the 55 minute no decompression limit
will occur at 3 minutes past the next hour.
Diving with your watch
PLEASE NOTE:
It is always useful and best practice to make a note on a dive slate
before entering the water and to carry a set of dive tables should
the dive plan change during the course of a dive. A safety stop
for 3 to 5 minutes at 15ft is recommended at the end of all dives.
A safety stop for 3 minutes at 15ft is required any time you come
within 3 pressure groups of a no decompression limit, and for
any dive to a depth of 100ft or deeper.

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.
