Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed
and engineered by highly talented craftspeople
to ensure not only accurate and precise
timekeeping but also to bring a real pride of
ownership that only luxury items of the highest
quality can ever hope to deliver.
You have made an investment, a good one,
and the aim of this handbook is to help you
make the most of that investment during what
I hope will be a lifetime of ownership.

C65 TRIDENT CLASSIC
C65 TRIDENT CLASSIC
The newest addition to our best-selling Trident
Collection, the C65, although sharing a number
of design cues with its sportier stable mates is
unmistakably a dress watch, first and foremost,
albeit with a sporting DNA.
To be worthy of the appellation, “classic”, we knew
as well as having a timeless, understated style,
the C65 needed to be remorseless in attending to
every single detail. From the perfectly proportioned,
fundamentally re-engineered, satin-nish stainless
steel case with its deep stamped Trident emblem
on the reverse side, to the sharpness of the raised,
SuperLuminova™ lled nickel indexes, this is a
watch that demands closer examination for its
quality to be fully appreciated.
If cutting a stylish, sophisticated dash is important,
the C65 Trident Classic is the watch for you.
It’s perhaps no wonder, therefore, that inside
CW Towers we call it the “George Clooney”!

DISPLAY ELEMENTS CONTROL BUTTONS
Your C65 Trident Classic has a maximum power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound.
To re-power the watch after a period of non-use, simply wind the crown 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.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR C65 TRIDENT
SETTING THE TIME/DATE
•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.
•Pull gently into position
2
. For rapid date
correction, turn in a clockwise direction.
•Pull gently into position
3
. 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.

WATER RESISTANCE
Although your watch has been through vigorous
static pressure testing, it is worth remembering
that there are many variables that can affect
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 effect 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.
1 ATM (10 Metres)
Safe to wear your watch while
washing your hands with tap water.
3 ATM (30 Metres)
Washing your car and/or general
hose pipe usage.
5 ATM (50 Metres)
Water resistant to most household
shower units.
15 ATM (150 Metres)
Safe to use while snorkelling in
open water.
30 ATM (300 Metres)
Ideal for experienced divers and
those practising scuba-diving.
50 ATM (500 Metres)
Professional divers, experiencing
prolonged exposure underwater.
100 ATM (1000 Metres)
Professional deep sea diving.

OUR WATCH CARE PROGRAMME
OUR WATCH CARE PROGRAMME
Your watch is constructed from the finest
components and materials available
including one of Switzerland’s finest
mechanical movements. As with all watches
of this quality, with the right care and
attention, your new Christopher Ward watch
has the potential to become an heirloom
piece giving further joy to future generations.
It’s for this reason we have created our
industry leading approach to after-sales care,
starting with our famous 60/60 Guarantee
which remains the most comprehensive
guarantee in the world of watchmaking.
Christopher Ward’s 60/60 Guarantee is designed to deliver you complete peace
of mind and the best support possible throughout the lifetime of your ownership.
The guarantee has two key elements and sits alongside our Servicing and
Repairs Programme:
60/60 GUARANTEE
1. 60 DAY FREE RETURNS
Our success depends on you being completely happy with your new Christopher
Ward watch. You have up to 60 days to return your watch, absolutely free of charge,
and receive a replacement or full refund by return – so long as it has not been
worn and is returned in box-perfect condition. This should allow you plenty of time
to decide whether to keep it or not, especially as we know it can sit under the
Christmas tree for a few weeks.
2. 60 MONTH MOVEMENT GUARANTEE
Your watch, at its heart, has a top quality precision engineered Swiss movement
– so it’s very unlikely to give you problems with the minimum amount of care and
attention, including a regular service. We recommend you return your watch to
us every 3/4 years for a service, so our expert technicians can keep your ne
timepiece in the peak of condition.
SERVICING & REPAIRS…THE CHRISTOPHER WARD WAY…
Our innovative approach to servicing and repairing your Christopher Ward watch
means that having your watch serviced or repaired doesn’t mean months of waiting
followed by an exorbitant bill – which is pretty much the experience guaranteed
by every other luxury watch brand. We have developed an easy, quick and
affordable expert service and repairs programme that doesn’t cost the earth and
has your watch back where it belongs – on your wrist – in double-quick time.

Service and Repair Programme.

From small beginnings just a few short years ago
(our rst workshop was actually a refurbished
chicken shed!), Christopher Ward has won a
worldwide following for his eponymous watch
brand and can justiably claim to manufacture
the most affordable luxury watches in the world.
For many, the philosophy behind the brand, of
trying to put luxury watches within the reach
of everyone, is as attractive as the watches
themselves, as is the very open approach of the
business which means that Chris and the team
spend a lot of time communicating personally
with our customers – many of whom have
become friends.
As the owner of a Christopher Ward watch,
if ever you need to get hold of us we are at
your service. We have listed some useful contact
details on the back cover.
There is also always something new going on
at our website at www.christopherward.co.uk
and, if you haven’t already discovered the
independent forum dedicated to our brand
at www.christopherwardforum.com we would
recommend a visit. Informative and fun,
it’s a great place to hear the unexpurgated
view of Christopher Ward of London!
