The flagship model of Christopher Ward’s new C60 Trident collection, the C60 Trident COSC

During the past ten years of Christopher Ward’s existence as a brand, one of their most successful collections is considered to be the Trident that was launched in 2009. Today, Christopher Ward has announced a radical expansion of this iconic collection with re-engineering and design improvements. The new C60 Trident collection keeps at its heart C60 Trident Pro and C60 Trident GMT, powered by the same proven movements. To this two, Christopher Ward ads the limited edition C60 Trident COSC, powered by the in-house Calibre SH21 and the entry level C60 Trident 300, powered by the Ronda 515 quartz movement.

Except the COSC model, all the others will come in 42 or 38 mm, opening up the new Trident collection to both men and women.

Other changes are the new baton-style indexes of the mechanical versions are deep-filled with the new SuperLuminova™ SLN T C1 lume paint to provide brighter and extended luminosity above that of the Mark 1 model.
The new Trident case, in marine-grade 316L steel, clearly echoes the design of the original but has been comprehensively re-engineered, including sharper and improved architecture and finishing. The three mechanical versions are capable of withstanding water pressure at up to 600 m (2,000 ft) and have been upgraded to include zirconia ceramic (Zr02) bezels while the quartz version has retained the aluminium bezel of the original and, as denoted by the name, is capable of depths to 300m (1,000 ft).

This detailed re-definition of Trident extends to the case-back, with the Trident logo deep-stamped into the stainless steel plate, producing a 3D appearance that was first seen in the C65 Trident Classic.
