C8 Pilot Revival Special Edition

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.

C8 Pilot Revival Special Edition

It’s not often you get to own a piece of watchmaking history.

But that’s one of the reasons why your C8 Pilot Revival Special Edition

is such an important watch.

If you’re not familiar with its DNA, the timepiece is a faithful – but

improved – version of the C8 Pilot, Christopher Ward’s rst pilot’s

watch.

Based on the B-Uhren’ timepieces of World War II, the C8 Pilot

showed that CW could produce an elite watch that could compete

with the best. And do so at a price that made it accessible to as many

people as possible.

A look at the beautifully proportioned dial of the C8 Pilot Revival

Special Edition gives you some clue of what’s been achieved.

Mirroring the original C8 Pilot, the indexes and reference triangle

at 12 o’clock are coated with Super-LumiNova®C1 BL Grade X1 for

timekeeping after dark.

Meanwhile, the oversize crown adds further authenticity – glove-

wearing pilots couldn’t adjust their watches with regular-size

crowns.

Finally, there’s the ‘Chr. Ward’ logo that sits at 12 o’clock. A logo

that was retired in 2016 (with not a little controversy), for some CW

fans it retains a special place in their hearts. To see it return – even

for one time only – is something that will give you a warm glow all

over.

How to operate your C8 Pilot Revival Special Edition

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.

• For setting the time pull gently into position 2and 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.

Straps

As you would expect, we place as much

emphasis on the quality of our straps as we do

our watches. We only use the nest materials

in our straps, with quick-release pins also

included for your convenience.

The following guidelines explain how easy

it is to use, adjust and replace your

Christopher Ward strap.

How to operate your C8 Pilot Revival Special Edition

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.

Water resistance

Although your watch has been through vigorous static pressure

testing, it is worth remembering that there are many variables

that can aect 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 eect 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.
