- 200m water resistance
- COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 (Automatic/Bronze) and SW330-2 (GMT) movements
- 56-hour power reserve
- Prices start from £1,330 for Automatic, £1,430 for GMT, and £1,495 for Bronze
The C60 Trident Biscay collection replaces the C65 Aquitaine, bringing back a retro diver design with modern execution.
The case is based on Christopher Ward's Light-catcher design but reshaped to be slimmer, inspired by the Trident Lumière.
The GMT model features a bi-directional bezel with a black and golden-brown color scheme, reminiscent of Rolex and Tudor GMT bezels.
The bronze variant uses a marine-grade aluminium bronze alloy (CuAl10Ni5Fe4) chosen for its resistance to seawater corrosion and slower, more even patina development.
Dials feature a granular texture and individually applied Arabic numerals, with custom-pigmented Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL in an off-white for an aged glow.
New strap options include the iLink bracelet with tool-free adjustment, a redesigned Hybrid strap, and a Vintage Oak leather strap.
The GMT bezel is surface-hardened to 250HV, making it 67% harder than untreated aluminum.
The collection draws inspiration from 1960s skin divers and the Bay of Biscay, with design cues also referencing earlier Christopher Ward Trident models.
