British luxury watch maker Christopher Ward expands their impressive Motoring collection with the new C7 Rapide Chronometer Limited Edition. The new model is powered by the thermo-compensated ETA 251.264 quartz movement, its COSC certification setting a new benchmark of precision in bringing chronometer status to the C7 Rapide family.
Complementing that accuracy, the C7 Rapide Chronometer also expresses meticulous engineering through every aspect of the quality of detail in its design. Highlights include the deep ‘cross-hatch’ engraving used on the crown and chronograph controls, combining ergonomic effectiveness with exceptional clarity of design.
Through its blend of style and technical quality Christopher Ward’s dynamic C7 Rapide series perfectly captures the spirit of motoring and is now available with COSC-certified precision. On the multi-layered precision black dial the sub dials capture minutes, seconds and tenths (from left to right, respectively), while the watch’s tachymeter provides an invaluable tool for on-track timekeeping. The quality of the detail emphasises Christopher Ward’s evolution of a classic design that still retains the characterful essence of the C7 family.
The high clarity dial is completed by the familiar circular date window positioned at the four o’ clock position, its simplicity and clarity enhancing Christopher Ward’s emphasis on clean design.
The C7 COSC is a limited edition of only 500 pieces worldwide. Retail price starts from £599.00 . Each model is engraved with a unique individual serial number and is presented on a premium quality Italian leather strap, including red leather lining and the exceptionally comfortable Bader deployment. Models with a high density black natural rubber or a stainless steel adjustable bracelet option are also offered.
