Christopher Ward C60 Pro 300 Bronze Best

Opulence, elegance and excellence

Some watches are made for sunny days by the beach. Others are inspired by the peaks of the world’s tallest mountains. And then there’s the C60 Pro 300 Bronze. A timepiece that carries the build quality of a deep-sea dive watch, yet whose natural environment is as much ‘dive bar’ as ‘dive school’.

As with previous CW ‘ombré’ watches, the lacquered deep-brown dial gradually changes from light to dark toward the edge – without sacrificing legibility. The lume-filled handset delivers clarity and precision, while the ‘5N gold’ indexes – also filled with Super-LumiNova® – boast diamond-polished facets that catch the light. The date wheel at 6 o’clock is colour-matched to the dial, while the applied twin-flags logo – also in 5N gold – adds balance and depth.

At 42mm (and 11.5mm in height), the bronze Light-catcher™ case isn’t shy, but its intelligent design ensures it ‘wears’ smaller. And because it’s made from bronze – the original marine metal – it will patinante over time, ensuring it becomes as unique as its wearer.

And if you’re passionate about seeing advanced watchmaking up close, the exhibition caseback delivers a view of the COSC-certified Sellita SW200 automatic movement. Should you wish to take the Pro 300 Bronze for a deep dive, the countdown bezel, with a rotation of 120 clicks, will provide you with the precision and reliability you need.

Sellita SW200 COSC Automatic

Designed for those who demand the highest standards of timekeeping, this Swiss-made automatic movement has been officially designated as a ‘chronometer’ by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres.

This means it has a certified timing tolerance of just -4/+6 seconds per day in a variety of temperatures and positions, putting it in the top six per cent of Swiss-made watches for accuracy.

The movement boasts a date wheel, a 4Hz frequency (equating to a smooth eight ticks per second) and a 38-hour power reserve. It also has an in-built anti-shock system to maintain accuracy when faced with any sudden jolts.
