The C60 Pro 300 Bronze Blue Ombré is the latest addition to Christopher Ward’s increasingly popular Trident Bronze collection. The Trident Collection is the brand's line of diving watches. The Christopher Ward Trident Collection was first launched in 2009. It quickly gained recognition for its blend of high-quality craftsmanship, robust design, and affordability. The initial launch included the C60 Trident Pro, which set the standard for the models that followed, combining classic dive watch aesthetics with modern technical features.

Crafted from a robust CuSn6 bronze alloy, the 42mm case is pressure tested to 300 meters. made of an alloy of tin and copper. It features a responsive 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert and satin-brushed finish. With a case height of just 11.5mm and a weight of only 78g (excluding the strap).

In keeping with Christopher Ward's tradition for bronze divers, the C60 Pro 300 Bronze features an ombré dial in deep blue, transitioning from dark at the bezel to light at the center. It is finished with a clear lacquer, an applied twin-flag logo at 12 o’clock, and a color-matched date wheel at 6 o’clock.

The blue ombré color of the C60 Pro 300 is a work of art. Christopher Ward uses a centrifuge technique to create this gradual, hypnotic effect. As the dials spin at high speed, the paint forms a perfect gradient. Once the desired color is achieved, the dial is covered with a transparent layer, ensuring a durable and resistant finish.

Powered by the automatic Sellita SW200-1, a COSC-certified movement, the Pro 300 Bronze Blue Ombré offers exceptional accuracy with a tolerance of just -4/+6 seconds per day. The movement operates at 28,800 beats per hour (4Hz) and provides a 38-hour power reserve.

The watch comes with two strap options: an Oak Leather strap or a Blue Hybrid Rubber strap. The prices are GBP 1,070 (equivalent to 4,990 AED) for the leather strap and GBP 1,060 (equivalent to 4,930 AED) for the rubber strap.
