C7 Apex Limited Edition

Hyperbole plays a role in the marketing of

any watch, but in the case of the C7 Apex

– apex being the Latin word for ‘summit’

or ‘peak’ – its dynamic automotive styling

fully reects the power and potential of the

Anglo-Swiss partnership that now sits at the

heart of Christopher Ward.

Engineered to mark ve years since the CW team held

the rst working prototype of our in-house movement,

Calibre SH21, this 50-piece limited edition represents

the progress Christopher Ward has made since that

summer’s day in 2013. Spread between Maidenhead

and Biel, the Christopher Ward team may have grown

since then – in number, in experience – but a greater

skill present throughout our design and technical

departments has elevated the output of both to a

level previously out of reach.

Unlocking this potential has culminated in the

creation of the Apex; designed with the intention of

showcasing more of Calibre SH21 than ever before,

the mechanical modernity of its semi-open dial is bold,

futuristic and completely unique in the Christopher

Ward collection. Just as signicant is that this version

of SH21, visible through the Apex’s exhibition caseback,

has been designed in unison with its dial, incorporating

a level of detailing that would have been unthinkable

when SH21 rst saw release.

Christopher Ward has never been a conventional

brand. We’ve never shied away from a challenge –

creating Calibre SH21 after only a decade is testament

to that. And in the C7 – a watch that pushed our

design and technical teams to reach their very own

apex – this tradition shows no signs of slowing down.

How to operate your C7 Apex Limited Edition

The crown should sit ush to the case (position

)

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. Your C7 Apex Limited

edition has a maximum power reserve of 5 days

(120 hours) when fully wound.

Take care not to overwind the crown past the point

of resistance as it will damage the movement.

• Pull gently into position

. For rapid date

correction, turn in an anti-clockwise direction.

• Pull gently into position

. 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.

How to operate your C7 Apex Limited Edition

Using the quick-release pins on your strap

1. Locate the quick-release pin on your strap.

Pull the pin to the side to detach your strap.

2. To reattach your strap, align the pins to the

lug holes and click the strap into position.

Repeat for the other side.
