Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite

The Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite is praised for its well-made, refined, and attractively finished Super Compressor case, featuring a blue gradient dial with decompression scales and an internal bezel operated by the 2 o'clock crown. Reviewers note the COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 movement offers a 56-hour power reserve. However, the bracelet's end link finishing does not match the lugs, and the pin-and-collar sizing system is criticized for difficulty. One reviewer calls the 150-meter water resistance a party trick and dislikes the logo and trident on the seconds hand. Overall, reviewers find the Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite to be a refined and attractively finished watch, despite some criticisms regarding bracelet finishing and water resistance.
