Sapphire. Power. Lume
Sapphire. Power. Lume
The C60 Sapphire Edge opens a new chapter in the sapphire story with our first-ever luminous rubber strap, an ultra-wearable slimmer case and a new movement that delivers a power reserve of 56 hours.
The bezel is a sign of Christopher Ward’s refusal to rest on our laurels. Taking its cues from the retro-dive Aquitaine series, the bezel is also made from sapphire – adding lustre without losing practicality. And because this is a professional diving instrument waterproof to 300m, the bezel has been engineered to function at depth – just check that reassuring click for proof.
A watch that pushes so many boundaries deserves a strap to match. Step forward the Aquaflex, our first luminous strap. Constructed from FKM fluorocarbon rubber, it laughs in the face of whatever the elements throw at – and thanks to its luminous coating, delivers a glow after dark.
Power is provided by the Sellita’s 25-jewel SW300 automatic movement – visible through the sapphire case back. At just 3.6 mm high, it’s one millimetre thinner than the SW200-1, which was used on both the C60 #tide and original C60 Sapphire. It’s not only more accurate and robust than the SW200-1, but also has a power reserve of 56 hours.
Another upgrade is the case. Thanks to the slimmer proportions of the SW300 movement and the ingenuity of our design team, the 42mm Light-catcher™ case is now just 10.7mm thick – down from the 14.1mm of the original C60 Sapphire’s case. Turn it over to see the view the sapphire case back provides of the movement.
As with the original Sapphire, the beautifully proportioned dial is made from lab-grown sapphire crystal machined to just 0.6mm. Through the dial you’ll be able to see the inner workings of the high-performance Sellita SW300 automatic calibre, while the indexes and classic Trident handset deliver legibility and luminosity on land – and at sea.
Finally, and in keeping with tradition of donation that began with the C60 #tide, 2 percent of proceeds from the watch’s sale will go to our chosen charities.

Powering the C60 Sapphire Edge is Sellita’s 25-jewel SW300 automatic movement, which boasts a power reserve of 56 hours. At 25.6mm in diameter and with a height of 3.6mm – one millimetre less than the SW200-1 – its thinner profile helped us reduce the case thickness and increase the watch’s wearability.
Sapphire
Inspired by Christopher Ward’s Aquitaine retro-dive watch, the C60 Sapphire Edge has a pure sapphire countdown bezel, which adds a refined sheen without compromising toughness. As with all our diving bezels, the Edge’s has been engineered for a satisfying click – and to function perfectly on diving ascents.

The fact that it’s more accurate than its predecessor and has a power reserve of 56 hours is a bonus.
Lume
Say hello to our first luminous strap. The sculpted Aquaflex strap is made from ultra-tough FKM fluorocarbon rubber – coated with lume for low-light visibility. Meanwhile, the dial plays host to indexes and a handset filled with Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 BL C1, so you’ll always be able to tell time – from the darkest corners of the ocean to the depths of your favourite dive bar.
