Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef Sale

The power of pure colour

The C60 Trident Reef is the ultra-colourful dive watch that’s impossible to ignore.

Inspired by the endangered coral reefs of the tropics, it comes in five colours – each one the shade of a particular coral.

While this is a Trident, there are some subtle – and not-so-subtle – differences. Take the dial, where a contrasting ring is placed around the edge for the first time in the series, providing a frame for the dial and lume-filled Trident handset.

Another difference is the impossible-to-ignore four-piece, 316L steel case. Available in 41mm and 44mm, the case is made up of four pieces: case back, mid-case, anodised mid-case ‘sleeve’ and aluminium bezel insert (except on the Acro White version, where the bezel insert and midcase are ceramic).

The strap offering is also on point. There are five different coloured solid rubber straps to choose from, so you can match or contrast with your watch depending on your mood (there’s also a bracelet option if you prefer). And because each strap and bracelet is fitted with Christopher Ward’s quick-release system, you can swap in seconds.

Power is provided by the Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement – a favourite at Christopher Ward – which isn’t just reliable but also durable thanks to the anti-shock system that guards it against everyday knocks.

Finally, because this watch is inspired by the rich ecosystems of the world’s coral reefs, we’ll be donating 2 percent of all sales proceeds to the Blue Marine Foundation as it seeks to put 30 percent of our oceans under effective protection by 2030.

Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement

An update on the classic Sellita SW200, this Swiss-made self-winding movement is known for its accuracy and reliability.

The 26-jewel movement boasts a 4Hz frequency (equating to a smooth eight ticks per second) and a 38-hour power reserve. It also has an in-built anti-shock system to maintain accuracy when faced with any sudden jolts.
