Christopher Ward is a world famous watch brands. The, Christopher Ward launched the new C11 MSL MK1 Automatic Watch. This is a high-value men's watch.
The clean image of a modern jets altimeter has been the primary inspiration for the latest additions to Christopher Ward’s squadron of aviation models. Both the C11 MSL Mk1 Automatic and C11 MSL Mk1 Chronograph are based on a completely new case design that places a circular dial in a case which has its facets smoothed off and decorated with vertical brushing
The case is 42mm by a slim 10.7mm, 53.7mm lug to lug. At 100g on the leather strap, it's quite light and very wearable. It wears large and thin. The second hand is hard to see, both day and night, so about the only design kvetch I have is the paint color there.
You can see the aspects they were shooting for: the shape of the hands, the high contrast, and more subtly, the 'bug' marker at 3 o'clock and the shape of the crown. Look closely, and you'll see they used diagonal-cut knurling on the 7.4mm crown, which combine for suburb ease of adjustment.
In a first for Christopher Ward, the C11 has it applied to the outside of the flat sapphire crystal, which is more effective at stopping glare. The off-axis blue tint implies a single-layer magnesium fluoride treatment, which should be fairly durable to abrasion and wear.
Watch buckles usually don't get much attention; it's usually not visible and often a place to skimp on build quality. This one is the opposite: Mixed brushed and polished surfaces, machined from solid stainless steel, with two decorative screws that match the case plus deep-etched engraving.
According to their catalog, the design team went through 30 to 40 iterations, trying to create a watch with the look and clarity of an aircraft altimeter in a wearable form. The result, a squared-off complex shape with decorative screws and some subtle details, is a real eye-catcher.
