Christopher Ward C60 Trident Biscay Automatic & GMT Watch Review
The Christopher Ward C60 Trident Biscay series revives the brand’s retro‑diver aesthetic with three variants—Automatic, GMT, and Bronze—each offering 200 m water resistance, a screw‑down crown and caseback, and a slim 11 mm (12 mm for GMT) thickness that keeps the watches comfortable on the wrist. The case draws on the Light‑catcher design, while the GMT’s bi‑directional bezel provides quicker time‑zone adjustments despite deviating from ISO 6425 standards. The Bronze model features marine‑grade aluminium bronze (CuAl10Ni5Fe4) that ages slowly and resists corrosion, and all versions benefit from a refined tooth profile on the bezel and a custom Super‑LumiNova Grade X1 BL lume that gives the numerals and hands an off‑white glow. Powering the Automatic and Bronze models is the COSC‑certified Sellita SW300‑1, whereas the GMT uses the SW330‑2 with GMT functionality; both movements run at 4 Hz, deliver a 56‑hour power reserve, and meet COSC’s accuracy specifications. Pricing starts at £1,330 (≈ $1,870) for the Automatic, £1,430 (≈ $1,995) for the GMT, and £1,495 (≈ $2,095) for the Bronze, positioning the Biscay as a more affordable alternative to comparable Tudor divers while offering robust specifications, versatile strap options, and a nostalgic yet modern design.
Buying Time Analysis: This review highlights the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Biscay as a compelling, value‑driven alternative to high‑priced heritage divers, showcasing its retro design, robust specifications, and affordable pricing that make it a significant addition to the modern watch market.
