C60 Trident Lumiere

The Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumiere stands out as a limited-edition celebration of the brand’s inventive approach to modern dive watches. Released in a small batch, it was the first Trident to feature a fully transparent sapphire dial, giving a striking view of the movement and a dramatic play of light on the wrist. This model quickly caught the attention of collectors seeking something more avant-garde than the standard Trident line, while still retaining the watch’s core tool-watch DNA.

With its 41mm stainless steel case and 600m water resistance, the C60 Trident Lumiere is every bit as capable as its siblings, but its real draw is the display of the Swiss automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement through both the dial and exhibition caseback. The reference is known simply as the C60 Trident Lumiere, and since only 316 pieces were produced, each is individually numbered on the caseback—this exclusivity has driven secondary market prices above the original retail, especially for full sets with box and papers.

When considering a purchase, check that the sapphire dial is free of scratches or fogging, as replacement parts are model-specific and not widely available. Early buyers appreciated the unique luminescent indices and hands, which glow blue and green for an eye-catching nighttime display. Expect to pay a premium for unworn examples, and note that the original bracelet and clasp add value compared to aftermarket straps. This is a watch for those who appreciate technical accomplishment and rarity in a contemporary package.
