Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire EdgevsGlycine Airman SST GMT GL0309

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge for its elevated deep blue sapphire dial, innovative lumed rubber strap, and slim 42mm case, offering incredible value. The Sellita SW300-1 movement's hand-winding action is described as buttery smooth, and the watch's thinness contributes to fantastic wearability. Reviewers note the sapphire bezel and the striking, translucent dial execution, which some find superior to other transparent dials for its view of the movement. However, one owner reported their dial cracked from the inside during regular use, and the brand denied warranty repair. The Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge is priced at US$1,195 on rubber or US$1,315 on bracelet. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge highly for its innovative dial and strap design combined with exceptional value.

The dial's two black shades represent AM and PM, with the hour hand at 6 o'clock signifying noon.
