The Christopher Ward + WatchGecko C63 limited-edition automatic GMT was created for enthusiasts who value balance, versatility and mechanical integrity.
Limited to just 100 individually numbered pieces, this exclusive release brings together Christopher Ward’s established Sealander GMT platform with our instinct for everyday wearability and strap versatility.
Crafted in a 39mm stainless steel case, the proportions strike a modern sweet spot. At 11.85mm thick with a 45.8mm lug-to-lug measurement, it wears comfortably across a wide range of wrists, offering presence without excess. With 150 metres of water resistance, this is a genuine go-anywhere sports watch - equally at home on a weekday commute or a long-haul flight.
The grey textured fumé dial delivers depth and subtle character, shifting gently as the light changes. A black DLC bezel provides sharp contrast, while applied indices filled with Super-LumiNova ensure legibility in all conditions. The orange GMT hand introduces a purposeful flash of colour, allowing you to track a second time zone with clarity. Powering the watch is the Swiss-made Sellita SW330-2 automatic movement, a dependable engine for daily wear.
True to our philosophy, strap versatility sits at the heart of this release. The neutral grey and black palette has been carefully chosen to encourage personalisation, making it a natural pairing for our Sedona Rubber Deployant Watch Strap.
The WatchGecko Sedona combines practical functionality with clean, contemporary styling. Crafted from premium rubber and fitted with the precision-engineered WatchGecko Divers Deployant Buckle, it offers a secure fit, everyday comfort, and a refined aesthetic that complements the C63 GMT’s balanced design. The Sedona is cut-to-size for a tailored fit and fitted with quick-release spring bars for straightforward installation.
