Christopher Ward C65 Cranwell Series 2 Vintage

One owner reported good timekeeping, with the case, bezel, and crystal remaining pristine despite significant bracelet wear. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C65 Cranwell Series 2 Vintage highly for its smooth winding action and robust case finishing.

CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT

The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes.

The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.
