Christopher Ward Just Made the Affordable GMT I Wanted All Along
Christopher Ward has recently expanded its Trident GMT 300 lineup, introducing a new 40mm model with a striking black dial and a black and gray ceramic bezel. This iteration draws visual inspiration from the popular Rolex GMT-Master II configuration known as the “Bruce Wayne.” While previous color options did not resonate, this latest version successfully captures attention with its polished black lacquer finish, applied hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova, and a bold red GMT hand that enhances contrast. The new model is powered by the Sellita SW330-2 automatic GMT movement, visible through a sapphire caseback, and boasts a water resistance rating of 300 meters. Pricing starts at $1,370 for the rubber strap, reaching up to $1,625 for the exclusive Consort bracelet version. With pre-orders now available and deliveries expected to begin in mid-February, this black dial Trident GMT 300 stands out as a compelling option for enthusiasts seeking quality and affordability in a GMT watch.
