C65 Dartmouth Series 1

Gaze upon the C65 Dartmouth and you’ll sense a depth of nautical

history owing through it.

CW’s rst watch carrying the Naval crown insignia of the Royal Navy

that can be sold to the general public – a feature made possible

thanks to an ocial licence from the UK’s Ministry of Defence – the

C65 takes its name from Britannia Royal Naval College based in the

South Devon town of Dartmouth.

Yet those with a keen horological eye may well recognise some of the

C65’s distinguishing ourishes from elsewhere. Inspired by the Omega

Seamaster 300 ‘Big Triangle’ – initially known as the Royal Navy 0552,

a Ministry of Defence-approved piece that saw the rst appearance

of the popular inverted triangle later exported to civilian versions –

the Dartmouth features an inverted ‘wedge’ and tapering indexes

at 12 o’clock; all have been lled with white T-C1 or Old Radium

Super-LumiNova®for excellent legibility.

As the ‘Big Triangle’ entered service in 1967, it’s apt the Dartmouth

sits within the C65 family, a collection that combines lithe ‘60s dive

visuals with today’s engineering prowess. Powered by a chronometer-

certied movement, the C65 is accurate to just seconds per day –

but what else would you expect from a watch bearing the crown of

the United Kingdom’s Naval Service?

Setting the time and date

For a superior water resistance your crown is of the screw-down

type. The crown should sit ush to the case (position 1) in order to

maintain water resistance.

• First unscrew the crown anti-clockwise from the case to position

2for winding in power. Wind in a clockwise direction to re-power

the watch. Your C65 Dartmouth Series 1 has a maximum power

reserve of 38 hours when fully wound. Normal wearing will allow

the rotor to start re-powering the watch over time after putting

on your wrist.

• Pull gently into position 3. This position is used for handsetting

and stopping of the seconds hand. For precise time setting it is

recommended to pass beyond the desired minute and to set the

hand backwards.

Diving with your watch

If using the bezel for a dive and let’s say the recognised maximum

“no-stop time” is 55 minutes, then in this example (shown right)

the time at the surface immediately before the dive is 10.08am.

However the bezel marker is at the 12.00 hr position.

• Move the bezel marker anti-clockwise so that it aligns with the

8 minute position.

• You can now read that the 55 minute no decompression limit

will occur at 3 minutes past the next hour.

PLEASE NOTE:

It is always useful and best practice to make a note on a dive slate

before entering the water and to carry a set of dive tables should the

dive plan change during the course of a dive. A safety stop for 3 to 5

minutes at 15ft is recommended at the end of all dives. A safety stop

for 3 minutes at 15ft is required any time you come within 3 pressure

groups of a no decompression limit, and for any dive to a depth of

100ft or deeper.
