C65 Aquitaine GMT

Owner’s Handbook

Time on your side

Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed in Britain

and engineered in Switzerland by highly talented craftspeople.

This ensures not only accurate and precise timekeeping, but also

brings a real pride of ownership that only watches of the highest

quality standards can hope to deliver.

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

manual is to help you make the most of that investment in what

we hope will be a lifetime of ownership.

The Aquitaine collection

The C65 Collection began as an homage to the golden age of dive

watches.

Now it’s reborn as the Gallic-inspired C65 Aquitaine: a radically

redesigned and upgraded retro dive watch – with a curved sapphire

bezel that’s as elegant as it is tough.

Aquitaine is an historic French coastal region home to Bordeaux

and its wines, and – most pertinently – undersea explorer Jacques

Cousteau.

While the Aquitaine’s looks are vintage, its engineering and build

quality are anything but. Water-resistance is up from 150m to

200m. There’s also a new open case back, revealing a self-winding

Sellita movement with a higher degree of nishing than before.

And most noticeable of all, the bezel now has a curved and highly

polished sapphire insert. It catches the light wonderfully and allows

our watchmakers to make more eective use of colour than with

steel or ceramic.

The Aquitaine is such a step up from the rst C65, it’s like it’s

jumped four generations in one go. This is a grown-up timepiece

that’s both undeniably retro and absolutely modern. A watch you’ll

treasure for years to come.

C65 Aquitaine GMT

Congratulations on the purchase of your C65 Aquitaine GMT.

It’s often said that once you own a GMT, it’s hard to go back to a

regular three-handed timepiece. And that’s particularly true of the

C65 Aquitaine GMT.

Like all GMTs, it traces its history back to the 1950s when long-distance

pilots needed a watch that could tell the time in the city they’d landed

in and measure the time back home.

But the C65 Aquitaine GMT is so much more than a watchmaking

history lesson: this is a thoroughly modern timepiece that uses

techniques and materials almost unheard of in the mid-20th century.

Like the other watches in the Aquitaine Collection, it carries a

see-through sapphire bezel that’s 50 percent harder than ceramic.

Meanwhile, the GMT hand boasts a bold, blue arrowhead tip that

contrasts beautifully with the White Sand dial.

Any great watch needs a great movement. And providing accurate,

reliable timekeeping is Sellita’s 25-jewel SW330-2 calibre. Not only

does it give you dual timekeeping but also boasts a generous 56-

hour power reserve.

Of course, while it’s wise to know your watch’s essential features,

the only way to truly understand is to take it out into the world –

and see where it leads you.

Your C65 Aquitaine GMT has a maximum power reserve of up

to 56 hours when fully wound. To re-power the watch after a

period of non-use, simply wind the crown for approximately
