The slimmer Trident
The slimmer Trident
How do you improve on an icon like the C60 Trident Pro 600?
You don’t. At least not yet.
Instead, you talk to the people who know your brand most – in this case, the Christopher Ward Forum – and ask them what they’d like to see in their ideal dive watch.
The result of this consultation is the stunning C60 Trident Pro 300.
A diving instrument that takes the Trident template and remixes it into a watch that’s so wearable you’ll never want to take it off. A watch that’s up to 1.9mm slimmer than its Pro 600 cousin (depending on case size), yet still delivers 300m of water resistance.
Everything about the C60 Trident Pro 300 is made for daily wear: smart enough for the office, rugged enough to accompany you on the deepest of dives. Its unidirectional bezel boasts a rotating outer section with coloured ceramic insert, and a fixed steel inner ring, with minute increments all the way around.
The dial’s larger indexes deliver increased luminosity while the new twin-flags logo at 12 o’clock balances the date wheel at 6. The handset has been upgraded, too: a precision-engineered arrow-head seconds hand, influenced by the ambitious C60 Concept, replaces the standard Trident design.
Flexibility is everything: the watch comes in three case sizes – 38, 40 and 42mm – and three colours: black, blue or white.
Another upgrade is the marine-grade steel bracelet which has an increased taper of 16.5mm at the clasp, extended micro-adjustment and an enhanced quick-release system – it also has screw links rather than pins. And if you don’t like to wear a bracelet, the watch is also available on a selection of straps.
Finally, power is courtesy of Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, which you can see in all its highly finished glory – check the ‘Christopher Ward’ engraving on the rotor – by turning the watch over and looking through the transparent exhibition case back.

What the press say about the
C60 Trident Pro 300
“Christopher Ward’s reputation has skyrocketed because of its refusal to abide by the insane markup status quo of other high-end watchmakers. It also has the internet to thank, since the brand’s popularity on watch forums has helped it secure itself as a cult favorite as well.”

“As an everyday dive watch, or your first ever mechanical watch, this watch will definitely get you into the hobby.”
– Demetrious Frantzescou, YouTuber
“The new Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 collection definitely has massive appeal. This series will be perfect for people looking for an affordable dive watch that has it all, from a set of great specs and modern looks to a variety of different color and strap options. And by affordable, I mean really affordable.”
