The Mk1 C60 Trident hit the watch world in 2009. It was available in a Henry Ford style ‘any colour you want, as long as it’s black’. The initial price of just £300 was a ridiculous bargain and the watch was an instant hit.
Fast forward to 2012, CW introduced the CHR. WARD logo (replacing the original round CW icon) and also added orange/black, red/red, green/green, charcoal/black, khaki/black and the blue/blue models. I call these the Mk1.5 models as they’re essentially Mk1s, but with the new logo and new colours. .
The price for those Mk1.5 CHR. WARD models was £440 for a rubber/leather model and £510 on the bracelet - still a fantastic deal compared to other Swiss divers which use the same movement - of which there are plenty.
This particular watch came from its original owner (along with another six) - all fabulous classic CWs.
It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.
It comes on its original bracelet with polished centre links.
The watch head is in good, used condition.
These Mk1/Mk1.5 models feature applied aluminium bezel inserts which are fairly easily marked compared to the ceramic Mk2/Mk3 cousins.
The bezel on this one has a few marks consistent with many others - around 15 and 55. It doesn’t really detract when in use. The rest of the case is in very good used condition with various light marks including some scratches on one of the lugs. A great classic CW at a great price.
Keeping very good time at -9 spd.
