C8 UTC Worldtimer

Aviation is something we take for granted,

thinking nothing about circling the globe in

ying metal tubes and meeting colleagues

for lunch on a dierent continent. But the

new Christopher Ward C8 UTC Worldtimer

reminds us of the wonder of ying: linking

the design of classic military aviation with

the possibilities of modern jet travel in one

ingenious, and very beautiful, watch.

The watch takes its design cues from the rest of the

C8 Flyer Collection, which references the Smith's

Mark II A clock used in Spitres during World War

II. All carry engravings of the historic aviation wind

tunnels in Farnborough where the aerodynamics

of British aircraft like the Spitre and Concorde

were honed.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the timepiece is

the two-piece dial, which features a crown-operated

worldtimer bezel showing prominent international

cities, meaning the wearer can immediately work

out the time anywhere on Earth. For those looking to

keep track of one timezone in particular, the 24-hour

UTC hand will be an invaluable tool.

The military feel is continued with the large Arabic

numerals, raised indexes and ‘pipette’ hands, all of

which are coated with Super-Luminova for visibility

at low light.

How to operate your C8 UTC Worldtimer

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 C8 UTC Worldtimer has a maximum power

reserve of 42 hours when fully wound. Normal

wearing will allow the rotor to start re-powering

the watch over time after putting it on your wrist

• Pull gently into position

. For rapid date

correction, turn in an anti-clockwise direction.

To set the 24-hour UTC hand, turn in a

clockwise direction.

• To set the time pull out the crown gently into

position

. This position is used for handsetting

and stopping of the second hand. Turn the crown

until you reach the correct time e.g. 10.08 hr.

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.

Setting the UTC hand

How to use the UTC hand if you’re travelling

Set the time in your new destination by pulling the

top crown (A) into position 3 and move the hour/

minute hands until they indicate the desired time.

Push crown into position 2 and wind, clockwise,

the UTC hand around the inner 24-hour dial ring

until you have the right time at home. E.g If you’re

travelling from London at 12:10 to New York (Figure 1),

you would turn the hour/minute hands to 7:10

(NY time is ve hours behind London) and wind the

UTC hand around to the 12:00 position (Figure 2).

Once set, it means that, for example, you can ring

your friends and family without waking them in

the middle of the night.

How to use the UTC hand if you’re staying at home

If you have relatives or work colleagues in another

timezone, you can use the UTC hand to mark what

time it is in their country. Just gently pull the top

crown (A) into position 2, then use the 24-hour dial

ring (note the contrasting ‘day’, and ‘night’ sections)

to set the time there. E.g. If the UTC in London is

12:05, in Australia it would be 22:05 (+10 hours).
