C65 Trident Diver SH21 Limited Edition
In the C65 Trident Diver SH21 Limited Edition, you’ll nd a watch that
will excite fans of horology, old-school visuals and a certain secret
agent all in equal measure.
Following in the footsteps of 2018’s C65 Trident Bronze SH21 Limited
Edition, a release considered one of the most attractive watches in
the recent Christopher Ward arsenal, this new version retains many
aspects of that release; it also makes some changes to help carve
out its own distinctive character. While the C65 Collection was born
to capture the essence of the slim dive watches worn by Connery as
007 in the mid-1960s era, the presence of our ‘light-catcher’ case in
stainless steel evokes the power of modern-day Daniel Craig.
Old and new continue to combine in the C65, even within the
presence of our in-house chronometer Calibre SH21. A feature
traditionally found throughout pocket watches and other vintage
pieces, a small second subdial resides at 6 o’clock; yet the modern
capabilities of SH21 are showcased just adjacent, where an indicator
displays what remains of its impressive 120-hour power reserve.
Whilst oering something of a chronograph look, they oer a
constant reminder of the Swiss engineering ticking away inside.
A 150-piece limited edition whose ‘60s looks are ready for action
at any moment, the C65 Trident Diver SH21 Limited Edition has a
few technical gadgets up its sleeve for its wearer to enjoy. Water
resistant to 150m, it’s ready to ‘dive another day’.

How to operate your C65 Trident Diver SH21
• For setting the time pull gently into position 3and turn clockwise
to advance the time. For precise time setting it is recommended
to pass beyond the desired minute and to set the hand
backwards. Push the crown back to position 1.
6
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 until
you begin to feel a resistance. Your C65 Trident Diver SH21 has
a maximum power reserve of 120 hours when fully wound.
• For rapid date correction pull gently into position 2
and turn in an anti-clockwise direction.

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.

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 right) 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.
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.
