About Ward Hoard

We are an established business dedicated to the resale of the extensive and fabulous range of old (no longer available) as well as more recent Christopher Ward watches.  Have a look at our website for more details of our full range of CW watches and straps.

Pricing and offers

Because of the significant fees here, we are unable to offer any discount here or accept offers. We have an extensive range of CWs on our website (possibly even of the same model in a different strap configuration) covering most budgets and we also buy watches/take as part exchange. Check us out - Ward Hoard.

Please also note that our watches are advertised elsewhere - I'm generally pretty quick at ending the listings here when they sell on our site, but there can be a short delay while they are in fact unavailable.  

Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Black Sand

Introduction

Lovely retro style diver with sun-burst style face, internal rotating bezel and huge exhibition case back showcasing the movement and compression ring. This colour is no longer available from CW.

This is an original C65 SC which very unusually has the correct dial. Most black sand super compressors have the ‘mistake dial’ where the ”SUPER COMPRESSOR” wording at the bottom of the dial is slightly off centre to the left - this one is perfectly symmetrical. I’ve not seen another example with the correct alignment, so if that bothers you, this is the one for you!

Warranty

Transferable CW movement warranty valid to Jan 2026.

Strap

Currently fitted with a brand new black hybrid strap.

If you’d rather switch it to a new CW bracelet - increase in price of £100 (or in addition, an extra £140).

If you’d rather switch to tide, leather or canvas no price change

If you would like head only, the price would reduce by £40.

Condition

Unmarked condition - I really can’t see a mark on it, it’s perfect. Timing on the timegrapher is well within spec at +10sec.

Full set box and papers - a superb example, one of the best you will see particularly with the correctly aligned text.
