What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière

The Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière is praised for its bright, even lume and astounding legibility, with Globolight XP markers and hands providing a spectacular 3D effect. Reviewers note the grade 2 titanium case and bracelet, featuring an alternating brushed and polished finish, and a comfortable 10.85mm thickness for all-day wear. The 120-click bezel is described as having no wiggle and crisp, audible stops, with a fully lumed ceramic insert, green for the first 15 minutes and blue for the remainder. It is powered by a COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 movement. Some reviewers point out that the end links are longer than the lugs, which was a point of disappointment. Overall, reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière highly for its exceptional lume performance and comfortable titanium construction at the price.
