C11

The Christopher Ward C11 draws inspiration from aviation instrument gauges, offering a distinctive, modern twist within the brand’s lineup. Its angular case and bold dial design set it apart from the more classically styled C60 and C65 models, making the C11 a standout for those who appreciate contemporary British watchmaking with a nod to cockpit heritage.

Within the C11 range, you’ll encounter both automatic and quartz variants, with the C11 MSL Automatic powered by the reliable Sellita SW200-1 movement and the C11 MSL Quartz using a Swiss Ronda caliber. Case size is a versatile 40mm, and water resistance is rated at 100m—enough for daily wear and occasional swimming. The automatic versions tend to command higher prices on the secondary market, especially those with original box and papers.

Reference numbers like C11-MSL-SKKS (automatic) and C11-MSL-SKKQ (quartz) help distinguish between movement types and dial variations. Price differences are driven by movement, condition, and whether the watch comes with the original strap or bracelet. Early examples with the “Chr. Ward” logo are sought after by collectors who value the brand’s earlier identity, while later pieces feature the updated Christopher Ward branding. If you want a modern, aviation-inspired British watch with solid specs and a unique presence, the C11 is a compelling choice.
