The C60 Trident Collection
Welcome to the evolution
If there’s a watch that epitomises the progress of Christopher Ward,
look no further than the C60 Trident. Modestly introduced in 2009,
the original C60 Trident Automatic was a dive watch indebted to
the look and feel of the Rolex Submariner, whilst incorporating an
aluminium bezel and 300m water resistance.
Yet the largest waves can start with the smallest ripples; a trickle of
orders soon became a tide. The launch of a Mk 2 edition in 2015 saw
a new premium Pro 600 model swap circular indexes for rectangular
ones, double its water resistance and introduce a ceramic bezel into the
equation. Since then, the Trident Collection has grown exponentially
– think dierent case materials, movements and colours – cementing
itself as a cornerstone of the brand.
But it’s more than just a bestseller: each update has become symbolic
of the advancements made by the brand as it reaches adolescence.
So when the collective minds between CW’s Maidenhead and Biel
HQs began to turn to the thought of a Mk 3 update, it’s not an
understatement to say that there was quite a pressure to make this
Trident series the best one yet.

If the transition from Mk 1 from Mk 2 was a full-on revolution in both
technicality and design, Trident Mk 3 takes the best elements from
its predecessor and renes them further. This is an evolution rather
than a revolution; and it stems from both a greater knowledge
gained over the ve years since the Mk 2 rst surfaced, as well as
the comments of our customers.
From higher quality materials – Trident Mk 3 answers the call to
upgrade the lume found across our dive range – and ner levels
of detail through to nessed design, they all culminate here.
With Trident Mk 3, it’s the commitment to the smallest details
that ultimately make the biggest impact.

C60 Trident Elite 1000 Limited Edition
It’s tting that with its launch on the 10th anniversary of Trident, the
C60 Trident Elite 1000 Limited Edition has just set a new benchmark
for our bestselling dive series.
Water-resistant to 1000m – the rst time a Trident of any kind has
been engineered to withstand such a depth – the addition of a
helium release valve conrms that the Elite 1000 is very much an
accomplished diving tool; and having incorporated a number of
upgrades introduced in Trident 3, it remains supremely functional in
everyday use too.
A fully lumed ceramic bezel is a useful addition, while one of the
main comments about previous Tridents has been addressed with the
introduction of Grade X1 GL C1 Super-LumiNova®, the best possible
lume available on the market today, used throughout. The hands
and indexes featured in the Elite 1000 have also been upgraded, with
multi-faceted edges and a blend of polished and brushed surfaces
ensuring excellent readability against the Elite’s shiny-nish dial.
It’s this continued commitment to the smallest details that make
the Elite 1000 such a rewarding whole. Whether it’s the tip of the
seconds hand colour-matching its bezel’s inverted triangle, or tactile
upgrades such as the internal threading when operating the crown
or the satisfying action of the bezel, this 300-piece limited edition
chronometer is a resounding way to signify the progress made in
the rst decade of Trident.
