Prototype watches by Christopher Ward

CW occasionally sells prototype watches. Some are prototypes of existing models that made it into their regular line-up. Others were never released and made into a regular model.

They sometimes make these available during special sales for a limited audience.

Here are some that were offered in 2021.

C60 Trident Pro 600 Black DLC and Gunmetal

A diving watch worn, used and respected around the world. A timing instrument designed for the deep – that can be worn anywhere. A watch made of marine-grade stainless steel with a self-winding Swiss movement that means it’ll never need a battery. Perfect for every wrist, suitable for every occasion. This is Trident. This rare, 000 serial numbered, prototype model with gun-metal DLC case and matte-black ceramic bezel is a one-off design which wasn’t added to our main collection. This makes it unlike any other watch we’ve ever created. A ‘nearly new’ watch is in almost-mint condition but may have some light marks, which is why we’re able to offer it at such a great discount.

The remarkable C60 Trident Bronze is the dive watch that doesn’t think it’s a dive watch. Crafted in anti-corrosive bronze, the case oxidises over time to develop its own unique ‘patina’. Meanwhile, the contrasting blue dial has been hand-distressed – so no one watch is ever precisely the same. And should you wish to take it for a dip, the C60 Trident Bronze is waterproof to 600m. This is the first, 000 serial numbered, prototype of a bronze watch in our Mk3 Trident light-catcher™ case and also features bronze hands and a matte-blue dial.
