Christopher Ward The Twelve 660vsVario 1918 Medic Brass

Christopher Ward The Twelve 660 owners and reviewers highlight its exceptionally thin 6.6mm case, achieved through a two-hand design, manual-wind movement, and 30m water resistance. The bracelet clasp, however, lacks micro-adjustments. Opinions are divided on the manual-wind nature and absence of a seconds hand, with some finding them unnecessary while others value the resulting slimness and winding experience. One user noted the logo as a drawback. Overall, the Christopher Ward The Twelve 660 is considered good value and well-made by the community, with its thinness being a primary draw.

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
