The Mission and Implementing Fan Feedback
Christopher Ward's core mission is to ensure that high-quality watches are accessible to a broad audience. They achieve this by employing a transparent pricing strategy with a three-times markup and a direct-to-consumer retail model. However, the company acknowledges that accessibility goes beyond price, recognizing that some individuals find a 39mm case size uncomfortable. To hear the calls of their fans and make options like this available speak to the brand's dedication and humility.
Kicking Off the 2024 Releases
To address this, Christopher Ward is launching the C63 Sealander 36mm GMT in 2024. This new watch features a redesigned case that maintains the same combination of finely brushed surfaces and polished chamfers found in its 39mm counterpart. The key difference is the case size, which has been reduced to a universally wearable 36mm.
The watch is aligned with the Sealander's philosophy of 'Go Anywhere, Do Everything.' It's not just visually appealing; the 36 GMT is designed for practical use. The dial is highly legible, boasting applied indices, a twin-flags logo, a symmetrical 6 o’clock date, and hands that are brushed and polished, filled with Super-LumiNova® for better visibility in various lighting conditions.
