We're excited to announce our first exclusive collaboration with Christopher Ward. Introducing the Christopher Ward + WatchGecko C65 Aquitaine, limited to 50 pieces, each individually numbered for our first production batch.
Every aspect of this watch has been carefully considered. The 120-click bezel uses a polished sapphire insert that’s impressively scratch-resistant, complementing the refined blue and white design of the dial. The dial is inspired by the history of regatta races such as The America’s Cup, giving the watch a distinctly nautical feel while remaining reminiscent of the box crystals seen on the classic dive watches of the 50s and 60s.
The dial features the classic Christopher Ward trident seconds hand and uses Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 lume for perfect legibility in any lighting condition.
The 316L stainless steel case features Christopher Ward’s signature ‘light-catcher’ design with a narrow side profile and a visible contrast between the brushed and polished lines, making the 41mm case comfortable on a wide range of wrist sizes.
Visible through the exhibition sapphire case back is the no date automatic Sellita SW 200-1 b movement. With a water resistance of 200 meters / 20ATM, this 26-jewel movement has a power reserve of 38 hours with an accuracy of -/+ 20 seconds a day.
Following Christopher Ward’s newer designs, the watch utilises screwed links on its all-steel 22mm tapered bracelet and a 'Dry Marshal' safety feature, designed to remind you when Aquitaine's screw-down crown isn't fully secure.
Thanks to the quick-change mechanism, straps and bracelets can be swapped out without tools, ideal as this watch comes with both the original Christopher Ward steel bracelet and a collaboration exclusive Christopher Ward + WatchGecko British Military watch strap. This watch strap comes in a blue and white striped colourway to match the dial, as well as a laser-engraved buckle featuring the Christopher Ward and WatchGecko logo.
