THE EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON

The Euroﬁghter Typhoon is a twin-engine,

canard-delta wing, multirole ﬁghter. It has

been a joint development by the United

Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Initial agreement was made in 1988, but

contracts for the ﬁrst batch of 148 aircraft –

of which 53 were for the RAF – was not signed

until 10 years later.

The ﬁrst Typhoon Squadron at RAF Coningsby

was formally activated on 1st July 2005.

A second tranche of 67 Typhoons has been

added since then.

The early version of the Typhoon, which is most

often a single-seater, cost £64.8 million. The

improved second generation models carry a

price tag of £90m. For this, the RAF (and the

German, Italian, Spanish airforces, plus those of

Saudi and Oman) get a sleek looking craft that

is just over 52ft long (almost 16m) with a delta

wingspan of more than 36 ft (just over 11m).

Two Eurojet EJ200 turbojets, the afterburners of

which sit side by side at the rear of the ﬁghter,

provide 20,000 lbs of thrust each to deliver a top

speed of 1.8 Mach (1370mph) at a maximum

altitude of 55,000ft (16,764m). Ready for action,

the Typhoon is armed with air-to-air missiles,

Mauser 27mm cannon and a 1000lb bomb.

C1000 TYPHOON FGR4 CERAMIC

The current version of this twin engined

master of the skies, the Typhoon FGR4,

has provided the inspiration for the latest

aviator’s watch from Christopher Ward.

In keeping with the technical sophistication of

the computer-controlled jet ﬁghter, the C1000

Typhoon marks another technical advancement

for Christopher Ward, being the ﬁrst of its watches

to boast a ceramic outer case. In a further

reﬁnement, a titanium frame supporting the

movement sits inside the ceramic. The protective

carapace of ceramic is ﬁtted around the inner

case through intense pressure.

The appeal of this advanced composite comes

from its light weight, scratch-resistance, durability,

smooth touch and deep opaque appearance,

especially in the matt black ﬁnish used for the

C1000 Typhoon. Today’s ceramic is six or seven

times tougher than steel; it is so tough that

only a diamond can scratch it.

Details taken from the plane itself have enriched

the appearance of the watch. The chrono eyes

echo the twin circles of the jet’s after-burners. In

one variation, the lower eye is modelled on the

ofﬁcial low-visibility RAF roundel of baby blue and

salmon pink. The white numerals are rendered

in the font used on the Typhoon’s HUD (Head

Up Display), part of its sophisticated Cockpit

Information Unit (CIU). In a very neat touch, the

counter balance of the second hand displays

the unmistakeable silhouette of the Typhoon

while its tip carries a canard delta reference.

C1000 TYPHOON

On the backplate a detailed rendition of the

wonderful shape of the FGR4 is seen in the

form of an intricate 3-D raised coin effect.

The plate is engraved with “Typhoon FGR4

Multi-Role Combat” and the RAF motto “Per Ardua

Ad Astra” (“Through struggles to the stars”).

A modiﬁed version of the revered ETA Valjoux

7750 movement has been used for the new

chronograph. This lightweight yet strong watch

is as impressive as the euroﬁghter that inspired it.

For those of us who dream, the C1000 is as close

as we will ever come to being a ﬁghter pilot!

“WE BELIEVE IN THE C1000 WE HAVE A

WATCH THAT NOT ONLY HONOURS THE

AMAZING TYPHOON AIRCRAFT, BUT

FURTHER CONFIRMS CHRISTOPHER WARD

AS A WATCHMAKER THAT CONTINUES TO

SEEK PERFECTION THROUGH INNOVATION”
