Inspired by the brave. Engineered by the best​

Named after the Royal Marines’ Commando Training Centre at Lympstone in Devon, the feature-packed C60 Lympstone brings together elite Swiss watchmaking with a build quality that ensures it can survive the harshest of conditions. At sea. Or on land.

Take the ultra-tough, ultra-light forged carbon dial. Made from chopped carbon fibres infused with resin (there are around 500,000 fibres per square inch), forged carbon has a uniquely unfinished look, with the dark and light greys contrasting beautifully. Around the dial is a first for Christopher Ward: a rotating inner-compass bezel which lets you orientate yourself using the sun.

Surrounding the dial is a brushed ceramic bezel, its numerals deep-filled with Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 GL C1 – a sign that the C60 Lympstone is not just a watch, but a professional diving instrument. And with water-resistance to 600m, you can be sure it won’t let you down – no matter how far you descend.

Turn the watch over and you’ll see the insignia of the Royal Marines laser-engraved into the caseback. Only when the Ministry of Defence had approved every element of the watch were we able to feature it.

When you’re dealing with split-seconds that can mean life or death, accuracy really is everything. That’s why the C60 Lympstone is powered by a COSC-certified version of the Sellita SW200 calibre, putting it in the top six percent of Swiss movements for accuracy.

Sellita SW200 Automatic Chronometer​

Designed for those who demand the highest standards of timekeeping, this Swiss-made automatic movement has been officially designated as a ‘chronometer’ by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres.

This means it has a certified timing tolerance of just -4/+6 seconds per day in a variety of temperatures and positions, putting it in the top six percent of Swiss-made watches for accuracy.

The movement boasts a 4Hz frequency (equating to a smooth eight ticks per second) and a 38-hour power reserve. It also has an in-built anti-shock system to maintain accuracy when faced with any sudden jolts.

What the press say about the C60 Lympstone​

Oracle Time​

“The latest in Christopher Ward’s Ministry of Defence approved range takes things in a new, more modern direction, inspired by the rugged requirements of the Royal Marines.”

Mondorologio Blog​

“This is one of the best tool watches out there.”

Oracle Time​

“Christopher Ward has recently been dominating the conversation when it comes to military watches. Just look at this modern and stealthy
C60 Lympstone.”

Find your way​

The C60 Lympstone is the first Christopher Ward watch to carry an inner-compass bezel. You can orientate yourself by using it in conjunction with the sun.

Wear it well​

The C60 Lympstone has the soul – and practicality – of a diving watch. Its outer bezel delivers a satisfying 120 clicks per circuit. So, when you mark your starting point with the pointer, you know it’ll stay in place.

Hard look story​

The watch boasts a dial made of forged carbon – an ultra-tough, mouldable material made from chopped carbon fibres and resin. It gives the dial a marbled, near-camouflage look.

Light fantastic​

The C60 Lympstone indexes, hands and bezel are filled with Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 GL C1, which delivers clarity in low light. Its potency is increased by exposing it to sunlight or artificial light, increasing the energy of its electrons.

Official approval​

Only when it had approved every part of the watch, did the Ministry of Defence allow the Marines’ official insignia to be laser-engraved into the caseback of the watch.

Complete control​

The marine-grade steel case has two crowns, one for rotating the compass, the other for winding the watch and moving the hands. Its gunmetal PVD coating ensures reflections – dangerous in combat – are kept to a minimum.
