C50 Malvern Chronometer
C50 Malvern Chronometer
50-piece Special Limited Edition
The C50 Malvern Chronometer is a watch
that inhabits a unique position in the
Christopher Ward range. As you’d expect
for a watch under the Malvern banner, it’s a
classically elegant dress piece; it features
our Mk II Malvern case, too (and will be
the last CW to do so).
Yet, with the movement found within – the Swiss-
made ETA 2836, COSC-certied and with day date
functionality – shares more in common with the
premium horology of our Grand Malvern Collection.
But the C50 exists within a wholly separate price
bracket; in fact, it may be one of the most aordable
mechanical chronometer-certied models available
anywhere in the world.
The Malvern’s dial design is timeless. Finished in a
rich sunray blue, allowing optimum play with the
light, polished steel indexes have been applied at ve
minute intervals, while the Mk II Malvern steel hour,
minutes and second hands contrast strongly and
ensure legibility.
Combined with the distinctive curved bezel and
straight sided prole of our Mk II Malvern case, not
only does the Malvern Chronometer blend aesthetic
and horological prowess, it also provides the perfect
send o to our trusty case design. Limited to 50 pieces
as it is, the C50’s legacy is conrmed.

How to operate your Malvern Chronometer
For a superior water resistance your crown is
of the screw-in 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
2
for winding in power. Wind in
a clockwise direction to re-power the watch.
Your C50 Malvern COSC has a maximum power
reserve of 38 hours when fully wound.
After a period of non-use, we recommend
manually winding the watch to ensure the rotor
weight sustains the amount of power in the
mainspring whilst worn on your wrist – this can
be done via twenty full revolutions of the crown.
• Pull gently into position
3
. For rapid day
correction, turn in an anti-clockwise direction.
For rapid date correction, turn in a clockwise
direction.
• Pull gently into position
4
. This position is used
for handsetting and stopping of the second hand.
For precise time setting it is recommended to
pass beyond the desired minute and to set the
hand backwards.
PLEASE NOTE: Date correction should not be carried
out between 20.00 hr and 02.00 hr as the watch
gearing will already be aligning itself to change the
date. The crown should always be pushed in after
adjustment, and it is best to do so from position 3
to avoid advancing beyond the desired date.
You must always ensure the crown is fully
tightened before any use in water.

emphasis on the quality of our straps and
bracelets as we do our watches. We only use
the nest leathers for our straps. Similarly, we

of our bracelets, all of which are precision
engineered for durability, eciency and comfort.
The following guidelines explain how easy
it is to use and adjust your Christopher Ward
strap or bracelet.

Press to release.
2.
Pull open the clasp
and locate the opening.
