Christopher Ward - C60 Trident Pro 300 40mm, The Cornerstone that Enabled the Bel Canto and Twelve

www.christophe...
• Closing thoughts:
o On Wrist - Much improved proportions over their previous 600m Trident 40mm, finally achieves that perfect balance of ratios between the dial, bezel, lugs, and bracelet
o Model Variants - Available in three case sizes and four colors - with the option of a redesigned bracelet or quick-release strap
o Comparable models - Has more in common with watches costing double, think mainstream Swiss Divers
o Bottom-line - The $1000 premium diver space is more competitive than it’s ever been, and the C60 Trident has been a value-to-quality ratio benchmark for well over 10yrs now, arguably closer to 20yrs
 In 2024 this current iteration has achieved a more finalized feel that no longer requires any big updates and treads the closest to iconic and timeless as the brand as every ventured with the Trident line

Been eyeing this Pro 300 in this color way for a LONG time. Just wasn’t sure the 40mm would fit my 7 1/2 inch wrist well (as in TOO small)… you’ve done it, you made me want to pull the trigger 😂

I got a 40mm Trident Pro 300 when it was released. It does everything so right, It has killed my interest in other dive watches. It's about as perfect as you can get.

I love the 300 C 60 but I have the 600 and white and black. I can’t park with that watch so I’ll keep that one but I love Christopher Ward as a brand. I think they’re doing some amazing things for the workingman

Picked up a MaMaCoo 's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

im one that doesnt care how the bezel sounds. as long as it works and stops where its supposed too isa all i care for. love how the bacelet drapes down, an awesome look.

amzwatch has set a new standard for replica watches. Their craftsmanship is impeccable. Its hard to tell the difference from the originals

Awesome video! The sillage is magical IMO.

[@hobokenarts]

Great video and great point about the bezel markers…hadn’t thought of that. Your last video comparing the 40 with a 42 trident pro 600 made me go for the 42 mm which was the right choice-It’s all about the proportions! Definitely a step up however I found no need to upgrade. Mostly because of the seconds hand…hate orange and prefer a needle tip…that arrow is just so distracting. I think the only other nitpick is I think they should ditch the border on the date window…looks better on the sea lander. I always wondered how a simple lume painted tip would look….or if it would work as I haven’t seen anyone else do that. Anyhow-thanks again for the insightful video!

Had this one and it's quite a brilliant watch. I had it along side the Atoll and C65 Aquitaine and didn't need all 3 so I sold it, but it was an excellent dive watch.

would love to see an orange minute hand on this

[@martintanz9098]

I have owned 3 CWs over the years. Currently have 1. They do seem better than your Seiko or entry level Swiss brands. I am on the fence about the current design language. Some days I really like it, others, I kind of miss the old CW designs.

[@mosquitojoyride]

I really don't like how the inner bezel doesn't rotate. Makes no sense as someone who uses one all the time. Almost bought one but didn't because of that.

[@robbbbery]

Agreed! That's so offputting for me. I normally love full minute markings on a bezel, so it stings to have them be made useless (worse, actually) and redundant with the minute markings on the dial.

[@gcaleblee]

I miss the thicker bezels

[@Dialandhands]

I much prefer the newer models from CW. I think they’re a lot better looking and much more refined.

[@ClevaTreva]

Me likey. 👍

[@adrianhjordan1981]

"Out of London".... Well they are OUT of London, because they're actually not in London 😂 😂

[@haromaster6086]

one of the reasons I have a hard time getting behind Christopher Ward. They changed their logo so many times that it kind of just drives me nuts. For me, it has really hurt their brand.

[@maitrehg]

Looks way too dressy for a diver. CW makes good watches at a fair price but the design is definitely not their strong point. And the constantly changing logo doesn't look very serious. Pathetic branding.

[@jaer.6540]

Design is what sets them apart. This is a horrible take lol WTF
