My New Christopher Ward C1000 Typhoon Fgr4 Ceramic Chronograph

[WillFly]

I've not bought a watch for quite a while, partly because I've been doing some serious photography - with some serious equipment - and also because I had  a yen to buy something of more serious quality and with a different feel to my usual vintage stuff.

 

So I plumped for a new Christopher Ward C1000 Typhoon chronograph, which arrived this morning. Ceramic casing on a titanium body, modified ETA 7750 chronograph movement. Pics below - there's a hair on the bottom of the case back which looks like a scratch - 'taint - it's a hair! It takes a diamond to make a scratch on the ceramic case.

Very nice Will, very nice indeed.

I too like that a lot! :)

I'm very pleased with it - I've been keen to support an English watchmaker (yes I know the movement's Swiss) for some time, and particularly wanted an automatic as I haven't many of these. Now I have 4 - Seiko 5, Mido Commander, Hamilton Micro-rotor, and now the C1000.

 

It's very comfortable to wear, and the dial is nice and clear.

Very nice and "particular" watch! I like the dial and the screwed case back!
