C65 Trident Classic
C65 Trident Classic Vintage Edition
In the 1960s and ’70s, the cool guys wore
black polo-neck jumpers, drove sports cars
(or at least Ford Capris) and charmed women
with a twitch of their eyebrows. Meanwhile,
the ladies had hair like Jane Fonda and
were embracing the new-found freedoms
that feminism was oering. It was a time of
change and this stunning new watch harks
back to that incredible era.
Old style, new watch
The retro credentials of this C65 are immediate, even
on rst glance. The brushed and polished stainless
steel case is 38mm wide, a size that recalls watches
of the 1960s and ’70s.
We’ve used SuperLuminova ‘Old Radium’ luminescent
paint on the dial and hands to increase the vintage
look, while the ‘glass box’ sapphire crystal also nods
to the past.
However, while it is a retro watch, the Trident
motif on the seconds hand tells you it’s also a
Christopher Ward. And that’s really all you need
to know.

How to operate your Trident Classic
For a superior water resistance your crown is
of the screw-in type. 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
1 for winding in power. Wind in
a clockwise direction to re-power the watch.
Your C65 Trident Classic 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 it on your wrist.
• Pull gently into position
3 . For rapid date
correction, turn in a clockwise direction.
• Pull gently into position 4 . This position is used
for handsetting and stopping of the second 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.
You must always ensure the crown is fully
tightened before any use in water.
