C60 Trident

The Christopher Ward C60 Trident is a standout in the brand’s lineup, conceived as a modern British dive watch with a design language that nods to both maritime heritage and contemporary style. Its wave-patterned dial, signature Trident counterbalance on the seconds hand, and sharply faceted case have made it a favorite among those seeking a distinctive alternative to mainstream Swiss divers. The model’s appeal lies in its blend of serious underwater capability with a refined, everyday-wear aesthetic.

Reference numbers such as C60-42ADA3-S0BB0 (automatic, black dial) and C60-42ADA3-T0BB0 (automatic, blue dial) differentiate between dial colors and strap options, with subtle changes in bezel and lume execution across production years. Most C60 Tridents use the reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, offering hacking seconds and a 38-hour power reserve, while some limited variants feature COSC chronometer certification—these command higher prices. Water resistance is a genuine 600 meters, a spec that’s rare at this price point and adds to its desirability.

When shopping, note that earlier Trident models (pre-2019) have a different logo placement and a slightly chunkier case profile compared to the current generation, which sports a cleaner dial and slimmer lugs. Condition, original packaging, and bracelet vs. rubber strap options influence value, with full sets and bracelet models generally trading at a premium. The C60 Trident’s limited editions, especially those with unique dial colors or case finishes, are particularly sought after and tend to hold value better on the secondary market.
