Unveils The New CHRISTOPHER WARD C60 ATOLL 300

| BY JARONE ASHKENAZI

TheC60 Atoll 300 from Christopher Ward’ was unveiled to the public. The new, aquatic relation to Christopher Ward’s best-selling dive watch–the Trident Pro 300–is a new member of the C60 Trident Pro 300 family.

The open-series collection features stunning gradient dials, color-matched date windows, and a finely machined steel bezel with sandblasted and polished surfaces. This dive watch was built for the sea and proudly displays its oceanic inspiration with its ocean-inspired Shark White and Reef Blue dials.

It provides the elite performance you’d expect of a Christopher Ward pro dive watch (and uses the super-slim C60 Trident Pro 300 as its template) with a unique personality and aesthetic.

Named after the atolls of the Indian Ocean, the watch’s design inspiration came from the beautiful colors of the surrounding oceans. The Blue Reef brings together the stunning blues and greens of the ocean, while the Shark White brings forward a rich brown strap and beautiful white dial.

The dial doesn’t sacrifice legibility, providing clarity and precision day or night. From its lume-filled handset and indexes to the date wheel at six o’clock to match the color dial, the balance is given through the applied twin-flags logo at 12 o’clock.

Its high-polish raised numerals come to full focus thanks to its sandblasted unidirectional bezel, which also delivers 120 clicks per rotation. Its triangle marker is filled with Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 BL C1 to aid timing at the dark depths as the watch delivers 300m of water resistance.

The beauty of the mechanics are in full view when the watch is turned over as you are given an inside view of the Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement and its ‘Christopher Ward’-engraved rotor.

British-designed and Swiss-made, Christopher Ward is also premiering their new slimline tapered rubber strap with this watch.
