WATCH REVIEW: Christopher Ward C60 Elite 1000 titanium diver

What would you pay for a Swiss-made watch with all the elements of a professional diver's watch complete with helium release valve and that keeps it safe to depths of 1000 metres? Despite having all the functionality and strength of a dive watch, Christopher Ward has pitched it firmly at people that will rarely leave land Professional dive watches often avoid complications such as day and date because they make them harder to read at a glance, but the C60 Elite 1000 has them at 3 o'clock on the dial without making the watch any less legible One compromise you have to accept with Christopher Ward watches is the use of third party movements, in this case the automatic Sellita SW220 calibre with 38-hour power reserve and in-built shock-resistance.

Christopher Ward watches can only be bought directly from its ecommerce site This makes the quality of packaging and the immediate experience of unboxing the watch all the more important, and Christopher Ward has raised its game in this regard last year when it launched a stylish new wooden box with an embossed black sleeve Christopher Ward's target market has been described by managing director Mike France as "Curious gentlemen", by which I think he means men that do not follow the herd and like the idea of bagging a great watch at an incredible price.
