Christopher Ward has done it again with the C63 Sealander Automatic in 36 mm, and the brand keeps developing its identity with more interesting colours. Christopher Ward gave these three shades evocative names, Viridian, Oxygen, and Foxglove, with each colourway produced as a limited edition of 150 pieces.
The trio covers green (Viridian), blue (Oxygen), and purple (Foxglove). Green and a turquoise-leaning blue are almost classic watch colours by now, so we want to spend a little more time on the purple Foxglove dial, because a purple watch is something I have never owned and rarely even seen at an event.
The purple Foxglove looks superb, and the darker outer ring of the dial makes it more wearable, stopping the colour from taking over despite being fairly bold. That same trick runs across all three dials, and it is exactly what makes the turquoise Oxygen more wearable than a lot of other “Tiffany”-coloured watches out there.
The 36 mm case is a smart move too, a versatile size that wears well on a wide range of wrists and leans into the vintage-inspired field-watch feel of the Sealander. With a sapphire crystal, a reliable Swiss automatic movement, and Christopher Ward’s strong value-for-money proposition, these are a lot of watch for the money.
In short, this is another great release from a brand that just keeps stepping up its game. Christopher Ward is now creating modern classics with a funky twist, and we hope to see plenty more of it.
