#ChristopherWardC65TridentGMTWorldtimer #WatchGecko #WatchGeckoReview
The C65 Trident from Christopher Ward becomes even more usable and versatile as it evolves into a Worldtimer with GMT complication.
The C65 Trident is a model we’ve spoken about recently in our in-depth review here, however, at the same time as the article was in the works, Christopher Ward introduced a new addition to the range that no doubt increases the watches usability and wider audience appeal. With a GMT hand, world timer rotating bezel and that 24-hour scale, Christopher Ward has managed to add a lot of information here in a compact package, but what is it like to live with?
The Christopher Ward C65 Trident GMT Worldtimer - What it does
If you’re familiar with Christopher Ward you’ll be familiar with this case as we get a width of 41mm (42mm if you include the bezel), a height of 12.05mm and a lug to lug of 47.1mm. A very appropriate size when glancing down at the time while on the go. The same positive words apply here that we mentioned in our C65 Trident Diver review as this well designed, comfortable and classically elegant case really is a big positive for the brand. This new release really proves how versatile it is.
Let’s start with the caseback this time and already we’re met with something unexpected. A screw-down case back finished in DLC black adds a level of sporty, modern appeal something that you may not associate with this family of watches based on the historical feeling models we have explored in the past. The contemporary sporty feel doesn’t end there however, as we move the watch that rotating world time bezel is the next feature to jump out.
The bezel itself is also finished in DLC black. This use of a darker tone throughout the whole watch really complements Christopher Ward’s attention to detail and ensures the bright yellow we see on the dial pops out just that little bit more. Speaking of the dial…
Clean, legible, and coherent sum up the dial on the GMT Worldtimer fairly well. The 24-hour scale is tucked away around the edge of the dial providing a practical advantage for regular travellers and also big framing benefits. The multi-faceted indices have a reduced footprint as to ensure the emphasis on legibility holds true. It's a similar story with the hands as these regularly appear in watches from Christopher Ward and they remain a solid choice for yet another watch type. The elephant in the room for this watch is the choice and use of yellow throughout the dial. We rarely see yellow used in watches (we only have three standard yellow watch strap options on the site, which says a lot about the use of the colour in the industry) so it’s impressive to see Christopher Ward apply it on this watch.
Interestingly, this new addition feels suitably modern for the C65 Trident range, however, the only aspect that has a ‘vintage’ style DNA and ‘feel’ is the GMT hand. Think Rolex Explorer II Steve McQueen with less of a prominent tip and a splash of yellow rather than orange.
The movement powering the watch when it comes to Christopher Ward is of course Swiss and it is the Sellita SW330. This is a movement of choice for many brands looking to add a GMT to their range including Farer, Monta, Muhle Glashütte, Glycine and Steinhart.
The water resistance rating for the Worldtimer sits at 150m which is combined with a screw-down crown for added security. No worries or concerns about using this watch when things get a little more practical and hands-on.
