TRIDENT COLLECTION

When Jacques Cousteau invented the aqua-lung in the 1950's he instantly made diving both easier and more accessible.

And when around this time Rolex asked him to help test their new diver's watch, the Submariner, it quickly became the most successful watch in history.

In 1954, Rolex used the same aesthetic to create the GMT Master, since which time, many watch brands have interpreted the design – although few mention their source of inspiration!

We, however, are proud our Trident watches, the 38mm and 42mm Pro's, GMT's and Chronometers, pay due homage to the most successful watches in history, in a way that is distinctively Christopher Ward.

C60 TRIDENT GMT AUTOMATIC

In 1954, in collaboration with Pan Am Airways, Rolex developed the first dual-time watch, the GMT Master, which had the incredibly useful function for the airline's personnel of being able to tell the time in two separate time zones simultaneously.

Since then many luxury watch brands have designed their own versions of this watch and now we have given the iconic design a Christopher Ward make-over using the stunning ETA 2893-2 automatic movement as the power source. And because the Trident has a uni-directional bezel it is possible to know the time in three time-zones simultaneously. Eat your heart out, Rolex!

DISPLAY AND CONTROL BUTTONS

Your C60 Trident GMT has a maximum power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound. To re-power the watch after a period of non-use, simply wind the crown in approximately

20 revolutions. Normal wearing will very quickly allow the rotor to start re-powering the watch over time after putting it on your wrist.

SETTING THE TIME/DATE

• First unscrew the crown anti-clockwise from the case to position ① for winding in power. Wind in a clockwise direction to re-power the watch.
  • Pull gently into position2. For rapid date correction, turn in a clockwise direction.
• Pull gently into position3. This position is used for handsetting, and stopping of the second hand. For precise time setting it is recommended to pass beyond the desired minute and to set the hand backwards.

PLEASE NOTE: Date correction should not be carried out between 20.00 hr and 02.00 hr as the watch gearing will already be aligning itself to change the date. The crown should always be pushed in after adjustment, and it is best to do so from position 3 to avoid advancing beyond the desired date.

You must always ensure the crown is fully tightened before any use in water.

GMT EXPLAINED

The GMT/24hr hand with its triangular point allows you to read the time back home at a glance on the 24-hour scale at the centre of the dial.

People travelling East, for example from London to Hong Kong, should pull the crown to position ② and move the hour hand forwards (in this case by 8 hours). The table (shown below) can be used to calculate any time difference.

People travelling West, for example from London to New York, should pull the crown out to position 2 and move the hour hand backwards (in this case by 5 hours). The table (shown right) can be used to calculate any time difference.

In both cases, the GMT/24hr hand allows travellers to read the time back home – London, in our example – at a glance, using the 24-hour scale on the dial. The second time zone – in this case Hong Kong or New York – is read off the dial in the usual way. Each time the hour hand crosses midnight, the date jumps forwards or backwards, depending on whether the hour hand is moved forwards or backwards.

SETTING THE GMT/24HR HAND

• Pull gently into position 2. Turn the crown clockwise and rotate the hand until you have reached the desired time indication.
• To reset GMT to your local time. Pull the crown into position ③. Turn counter-clockwise past midnight and stop at 3:00a.m. Then push the crown into position ②. Rotate the GMT hand until it is also at 3:00a.m. then set the date.
• Pull the crown out to position 3, and set the time and the GMT hand will be in sync with local time.

PLEASE NOTE: Date correction should not be carried out between 20.00 hr and 02.00 hrs as the watch gearing will already be aligning itself to change the date. The crown should always be pushed in after adjustment, and it is best to do so from position 3 to avoid advancing beyond the desired date.

As you would expect, we place as much emphasis on the quality of our straps and bracelets as we do our watches. We only use the finest leathers for our straps and our premium alligator straps are all ethically sourced from CITES approved farms in Louisiana.

Similarly, we only use the finest metals in the construction of our bracelets, all of which are precision engineered for durability, efficiency and comfort. The following guidelines explain how easy it is to use and adjust your Christopher Ward strap or bracelet.

WATER RESISTANCE

Although your watch has been through vigorous static pressure testing, it is worth remembering that there are many variables that can affect the water resistance of your watch.

For instance, arm movements during swimming and the sudden impact of diving and water sports will drastically increase the pressure the watch is under. Wearing your watch in the bath, shower, or sauna can also have an effect as a rapid increase in temperature can cause seals to expand and in extreme cases, malfunction or create condensation.

For these reasons, the water resistance rating of your watch (as shown) should only ever be considered a guideline and we strongly recommend they are always adhered to.

1 ATM (10 METRES)

Safe to wear your watch while washing your hands with tap water.

3 ATM (30 METRES)

Washing your car and/or general hose pipe usage.

5 ATM (50 METRES)

Water resistant to most household shower units.

10 ATM (100 METRES)

Safe to use while snorkelling in open water.

30 ATM (300 METRES)

Ideal for experienced divers and those practising scuba-diving.

50 ATM (500 METRES)

Professional divers, experiencing prolonged exposure underwater.

100 ATM (1000 METRES)

Professional deep sea diving.
