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.

C63 Sealander Bronze COSC
Bronze has always been at home at sea.
Unlike brass, it’s not aected by saltwater corrosion, which is why it
was used to manufacture nautical instruments like telescopes, clocks
and binoculars.
While bronze has found favour as an alternative to steel in Christopher
Ward’s Trident range of dive watches in recent years, this is the rst
time it’s been used in our Sealander sports-watch collection.
Not only does the bronze Light-catcher™case lend your C63 Sealander
Bronze COSC a warm, antique look, but because it develops a unique
patina over time, the watch becomes increasingly ‘yours’ the longer
you own it.
Another rst, and one that recalls those nautical instruments, is the
pairing of bronze with pure sapphire crystal – as here on the dial.
When you check the time, you’ll be able to see past the handset
deep into the soul of the movement. The eect is mesmerising,
especially when light hits and illuminates the workings.
Of course, while it’s nice to know the thinking behind your purchase,
the only way to become familiar with the watch is to take it out for
its maiden voyage. Happy travels!

Your C63 Sealander Bronze COSC 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 C63 Sealander Bronze COSC
For a superior water resistance your crown is of the screw-down
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
2for winding in power. Wind in a clockwise direction to re-power
the watch. Your C63 Sealander Bronze COSC has a maximum
power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound.
• 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 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 3to avoid
advancing beyond the desired date. You must always ensure the
crown is fully tightened before any use in water.
