Christopher Ward C8 Pilot Collection

Fans of Christopher Ward watches will be pleased to hear about the new C8 Pilot Collection.

The C8 collection is a modern interpretation of the oversized pilots watches that were designed during the second world war and fill a nice little gap in the current Christopher Ward range. Whilst the rest the army officers may have been wearing their classy pocket watches, the pilots were wearing their functional wristwatches.

The collection consists of 5 watches, with differing case and strap combinations, all of which have been designed to evoke the designs and styles of the time. As with all Christopher Ward watches they are finely detailed and exquisitely made with Swiss automatic movements. The watches also have specially stitched and studded ‘Buffalo grain’ leather straps which should prove to be very hard wearing. Priced from around £244 the C8′s are one of the more expensive watches in the range but the size and quality do make it a very impressive looking timepiece. If you’re looking for something even more exclusive, the all black 200 piece Limited Edition “Black Hawk” is priced at £318.

What we’re particularly pleased about with the C8 Pilot Collection is that if you already own a Christopher Ward watch, you might find that, like us, the opportunities to wear it are not frequent enough. The C8 Collection changes that because it will complement much more casual clothing than some of the other watches – so at last we can have a weekday and weekend Christopher Ward watch!
