quality standards can hope to deliver.

You have made an investment, a good one, and the aim of this

we hope will be a lifetime of ownership.

C60 Apex Limited Edition

On July 2, 2014, the Christopher Ward team descended upon London’s

Charlotte Street Hotel to unleash a development that would send

shockwaves rippling throughout the Swiss watch industry.

That development was Calibre SH21, CW’s in-house chronometer

complete with 120-hour power reserve. Not only a feat of engineering,

it doubled as proof that a small British watchmaker could innovate

just as much as brands far larger, older and wealthier. Five years

on from when CW’s three co-founders dropping that particular

horological depth charge, the new C60 Apex Limited Edition is the

ultimate celebration of Calibre SH21’s half-decade anniversary.

The second CW Apex release, this 100-piece Limited Edition marks the

rst time the series’ architectural aesthetic has appeared in dive form.

Thanks to our partners at Swiss skeletonised watch experts Armin

Strom, both its front and back have been stripped away to allow as

much of SH21 to be admired as possible; with an anodised orange

rotor and detailed bridge present, such engineering prowess means

the Apex also marks the debut of an exhibition caseback in a C60

(although it still remains water resistant to 300m). A power reserve

indicator on the Apex’s dial also enables its wearer to track what

remains of the 120 hours of power stored within SH21’s twin barrels

once fully wound.

A technical colossus, the C60 Apex Limited Edition shows just what

Christopher Ward’s Anglo-Swiss can accomplish when working

together to create the best watch possible at this level. But then

again for a model whose title refers to the pinnacle of achievement,

what else would you expect?

How to operate your C60 Apex Limited Edition

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 3to avoid

advancing beyond the desired date.

The crown should sit ush to the case (position 1) in order to maintain

water resistance.

• To re-power the watch after a period of non-use, simply wind the

crown in a clockwise direction. Take care not to overwind the crown

past the point of resistance as it will damage the movement.

• For rapid date correction pull gently into position 2and turn in

an anti-clockwise direction.

• For setting the time pull gently into position 3and turn

anti-clockwise to advance the time. For precise time setting it

is recommended to pass beyond the desired minute and to set

the hand backwards. Push the crown back to position 1.
