USER MANUAL C2 Lido Christopher Ward

Time on your side...

Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed and engineered by highly talented craftspeople to ensure not only accurate and precise timekeeping but also to bring a real pride of ownership that only luxury items of the highest quality can ever hope to deliver.

You have made an investment, a good one, and the aim of this handbook is to help you make the most of that investment during what I hope will be a lifetime of ownership.

Caring for your Christopher Ward quartz watch

Your C2 Lido is constructed from the finest components and materials available including one of Switzerland's finest quartz movements.

As with all watches of this quality, with just a little care, it has the potential to become an heirloom piece giving further joy to future generations.

Here are a few hints to help keep your watch working perfectly over the years:

• Although the battery in your watch may last longer, we recommend you have it changed every 2/3 years by a reputable watch repairer.
• At the same time as having the battery changed it makes sense to have the watch repairer clean and lubricate your watch as necessary.
• Make sure the crown is screwed down fully before putting the watch into water. Adhere to the water resistance ratings towards the end of the handbook to prevent water getting to the movement which could result in a very costly repair or the need for a replacement movement.
• Your watch is shock resistant to minor impacts but dropping from height onto a hard surface may damage the movement.

Should you need a replacement part - don't worry, we keep stocks of spare parts for years, even for discontinued models. It's all part of the Christopher Ward service.

Finally, don't forget our famous 60:60 Guarantee allows you to return your watch absolutely free, for any reason, and with no quibbles, for up to 60 days after purchase and we also guarantee your movement for up to 60 months.

After all, why shouldn't you enjoy peace of mind as much as you enjoy your watch?

Crown

Setting the time and date

To get to position 1, turn the crown anti-clockwise until it releases itself.

- From position 1, pull the crown to position and adjust the calendar display in a clockwise direction and the day in an anti-clockwise direction

2

- Pull the crown to position ③ and adjust the time setting in either a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.

• After adjusting to the correct time ensure that the crown is screwed back in until flush with the case in order that water resistance is maintained.

Fitting the bracelet

If you find the bracelet needs adjusting to your wrist we recommend you have it re-sized by a reputable watch repairer or jeweller. Most local jewellers will either do this for free or perhaps make a nominal charge for what is a job that should only take a few minutes. It is always best to be present so a comfortable fit is achieved.

Establishing the length of the bracelet

Place the watch with its separated bracelet on your wrist and estimate the number of links you need to remove. If you need to remove several links, try to keep the numbers removed from both halves of the bracelet as equal as possible to ensure that the clasp remains roughly in the middle of your wrist.

To open your bracelet simply press either side of the clasp to release as shown.

The quick-release butterfly clasp

The strap versions of the C2 Lido use quick-release butterfly clasps. If you are unfamiliar with the butterfly clasp system just follow our 8 step guide below.
