The Mk1 C60 Trident hit the watch world in 2009. It was available in a Henry Ford style ‘any colour you want, as long as it’s black’. The initial price of just £300 was a ridiculous bargain and the watch was an instant hit.
Fast forward to 2012, CW introduced the CHR. WARD logo (replacing the original round CW icon) and also added orange/black, red/red, green/green, charcoal/black, khaki/black and the blue/blue models. I call these the Mk1.5 models as they’re essentially Mk1s, but with the new logo and new colours.
This one is the green model - where the colour is a beautiful teal. It may be a prototype - the owner was told that it was a prototype when he bought it and it does not have a serial number on it.
Either way, it is a fabulous watch - a stunning and extremely rare colour.
It comes with a three month Ward Hoard warranty.
It comes on its original bracelet - this one is fully brushed. I think there is one missing link and it will fit wrists up to 7.5 inches. Please ask if you need another.
Priced with this strap - exchange for a new CW hybrid or leather (decrease of £60), exchange for a Mk2 polished centre link ratchet bracelet (increase of £100), head only, (decrease of £100).
These Mk1/Mk1.5 models feature applied aluminium bezel inserts which are fairly easily marked compared to the ceramic Mk2/Mk3 cousins.
The bezel on this one is perfect save for a tiny pinprick at around 17. The rest of the case is also in very good condition.
Keeping very good time at around +11 spd on the timegrapher.
Comes complete with box and polishing cloth - no manual but this can be found online.
