C65 Sandhurst Series 1
As a brand licensed by the UK Ministry of Defence to produce watches
bearing ocial insignia, Christopher Ward is proud to present the C65
Sandhurst as its salute to the British Army.
Named after the acclaimed Royal Military Academy Sandhurst
situated in Berkshire, the C65 Sandhurst also marks another milestone
for Christopher Ward: following repeated customer requests, it marks
our rst foray into the eld watch genre. Taking some inuence
from the Smiths W10, a rough-and-ready model issued to the British
Army in 1967, its combination of blackened dial, white TC-1 Super-
LumiNova®Arabic numerals and Old Radium detailing reinforces an
absolute commitment to legibility.
Yet there are some important dierences between the C65 Sandhurst
and its Smiths inspiration. Taking pride of place upon the backplate,
the British Army’s Heraldic badge has been intricately embossed, its
lion, crown and crossed swords deep-stamped with polished surfaces.
In comparison to the 35mm original, the Sandhurst measures in at
38mm – still petite, but a recognition of today’s preference towards
larger sizes.
Not only is the C65 Sandhurst an ocially licensed tribute to the
British Army, it doubles as a reminder of the continuum of British
watch design throughout the ages. Not just for serving personnel,
it’s a vintage-themed watch that all can enjoy.

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
2for winding in power. Wind in a clockwise direction to re-power
the watch. Your C65 Sandhurst Series 1 has a maximum power
reserve of 38 hours when fully wound. Normal wearing will allow
the rotor to start re-powering the watch over time after putting
on your wrist.
• Pull gently into position 3. This position is used for handsetting
and stopping of the seconds hand. For precise time setting
it is recommended to pass beyond the desired minute and to
set the hand backwards.

Water resistance
Although your watch has been through vigorous static pressure
testing, it is worth remembering that there are many variables that
can aect the water resistance of your watch. For instance, arm
movements during swimming and the sudden impact of diving
and water sports will drastically increase the pressure the watch
is under.
Wearing your watch in the bath, shower, or sauna can also have
an eect as a rapid increase in temperature can cause seals to
expand and in extreme cases, malfunction or create condensation.
For these reasons, the water resistance rating of your watch
(as shown) should only ever be considered a guideline and we
strongly recommend they are always adhered to.
