C60 Sapphire

The Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire stands out in the brand’s Trident lineup for its striking translucent blue dial, made from 0.3mm sapphire crystal—a rare feature at this price point. Released as a modern twist on the classic diver, it captures attention with its play of light and depth, while still delivering the functionality expected from a serious tool watch. This model has quickly gained traction among collectors interested in British watchmaking and unique dial executions.

The C60 Sapphire (notably reference C60-43ADA3-S0BB0-B0) is powered by the reliable Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, offering 600m water resistance and a 43mm stainless steel case—making it both visually impactful and highly wearable. Price differences often hinge on strap options (bracelet vs. rubber or leather), dial color variants, and condition, with full box-and-papers examples commanding a premium. Earlier runs may feature subtle dial and logo variations that some buyers prefer for their rarity.

When considering this model, inspect the clarity and finish of the sapphire dial—scratches or clouding can affect both looks and value. The exhibition caseback is a bonus for those who appreciate visible mechanics. The C60 Sapphire’s blend of British design, Swiss engineering, and distinctive aesthetics makes it a compelling choice for anyone seeking a diver that stands apart from the crowd.
