We're excited to announce our first exclusive collaboration with Christopher Ward. Introducing the Christopher Ward + WatchGecko C65 Aquitaine, limited to 50 pieces, each individually numbered for our first production batch.
Every aspect of this watch has been carefully considered. The 120-click bezel uses a polished sapphire insert that’s impressively scratch-resistant, complementing the refined blue and white design of the dial. The dial is inspired by the history of regatta races such as The America’s Cup, giving the watch a distinctly nautical feel while remaining reminiscent of the box crystals seen on the classic dive watches of the 50s and 60s.
The dial features the classic Christopher Ward trident seconds hand and uses Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 lume for perfect legibility in any lighting condition.
The 316L stainless steel case features Christopher Ward’s signature ‘light-catcher’ design with a narrow side profile and a visible contrast between the brushed and polished lines, making the 41mm case comfortable on a wide range of wrist sizes.
Visible through the exhibition sapphire case back is the no date automatic Sellita SW 200-1 b movement. With a water resistance of 200 meters / 20ATM, this 26-jewel movement has a power reserve of 38 hours with an accuracy of -/+ 20 seconds a day.
Thanks to the quick-change mechanism, straps can be swapped out with ease and without tools ideal as this watch comes with two complementing watch straps. One is the WatchGecko Overton genuine Italian leather V-stitch suede leather watch strap in grey, made from vegetable-tanned calf leather. The second strap is a blue and white striped British Military watch strap, which uses 1.25mm thick nylon for high tensile strength and added shine. Both straps also feature a collaboration-exclusive Christopher Ward + WatchGecko laser-engraved buckle.
Why This Watch
About Christopher Ward
Christopher Ward was founded in 2004 and specialises in creating high-quality and high-value watches, combining English design with Swiss watchmaking expertise. Each watch is built to a class-leading high specification while keeping prices impressively low. Christopher Ward watches almost exclusively use mechanical movements, either from well-known Swiss specialists like ETA and Sellita, or – in the case of the most exclusive models – their own in-house movement, Calibre SH2.
