Hands-On: Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire
The Christopher Ward brand has been on a roll lately. Starting last year with the re-launch of their core modern diver line, the C60 Tridents, they?ve been releasing new watches at a rather fast clip. Ranging from their sublime C1 Moonglow to their line of MoD officially-licensed military chronometers, to their Haute-inspired Apex C60 made in partnership with Armin Strom, to their recent retro-chic C65 GMT with a Worldtimer bezel – and that?s not to forget their souped-up, 1000m titanium C60 Elites – they are moving along at breakneck speed. Today, I?m excited to have the exclusive hands-on opportunity to check out their newest watch, the C60 Sapphire.
