Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor

[@ProfessorPesca]

Nice cheerful piece. The best thing about Christopher Ward is that you can tell the month and year of manufacture simply by looking at which logo is on the dial.

[@Judah.Rosenthal]

Ouch. So true.

[@The3osforos]

Hahahahahahahahahahhahahaaggahaha

[@ProfessorPesca]

@Max E You seem to have detected that my obvious joke comment about the frequency of CW logo changes wasn’t 100% accurate. Impressive.

[@ProfessorPesca]

@Max E touché!

[@jterranova]

I have looked at this watch in the past and because of this video, looked again...and they have updated the dial with the new CW logo, replacing the name "Christopher Ward" as shown in the version in this video.

[@cyprusdaedalus]

Have this exact CW. It's so gorgeous it literally made me curse loudly for about 5 minutes when I unboxed it for the first time. I love it. It's fun, gorgeous, well built, exquisitly finished, and can be dressed up or down. Some watches just feel special to me and this one has that "X" factor for me personally. Wonderful review as usual!

[@michelinii2311]

How does it wear size wise? I usually wear 38-39mm watches and my wrist are small at 16.5cm, so im a bit worried.

[@cyprusdaedalus]

@@michelinii2311 I think it wears pretty small. Closer to a 40mm IMO. I have a 6.75" wrist.

[@TheNimbleNomad]

How have you found this after almost 2 years? I am curious to hear if the quality has held up?

[@cyprusdaedalus]

@@TheNimbleNomad It's superb. I've bought/sold probably 100 watches in that time but this one remains in the case.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Fantastic video brother 👏 CW is near and dear to me. We’ve had the pleasure of speaking to Mike France on the podcast and he’s such a humble CEO. Unlike Panerai, CW actually listens to their customers and truly focuses on innovation and value for $! Keep up the amazing work my man 👍🏼

[@TheTownWatch]

💯

[@chrisjones6439]

I have to respectfully disagree... The logo argument has been rumbling for years and France, doing what France does best, completely ignored it. As for innovation, I think the range over the past few years has consisted of more and more blatant copies than at any time in their history. Prices have gone up dramatically, QC and CS has deteriorated ( especially since Wera left), so they're a brand that I've grown away from. Maybe the colab with Fears will interest me or the rumoured minute repeater. Fair play to you regarding your relationship 👍

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

[@A.T.148-Scot-HK]

Another great review as always Evan. Most modern super-compressor cases are just for show (JLC Polaris, Longines Legend Diver, IWC Aquatimer etc) as modern seals negate the need for these complex cases. So I applaud CW for making one of these supposedly working super-compressors. Super-compressors went the way of the Dodo due to one fatal flaw - they often leaked if the diver did not descend into the water quick enough during a dive as the shallow depths don't produce enough pressure for the cases to work. Quite an interesting piece of trivia for a pub quiz ...🙊

[@jamesblonde2271]

Well that and the fact that the rubber for gaskets improved and the "super compressor" effect can be achieved bythe Blancpain/Vostock ring shield back and deformable acrylic glass solution, that Finnish channel took a standard Vostock Zisou to 800m+. I' did a post once about how that famous Vostock engineering "solution" came out at the same time Blancpains patents for the ring/shield caseback lapsed, (they stopped actually using them before the 60's bagan) Like other watch myths, did you know for instance Blancpain did not invent the tourbillion, Omega invented the dive watch and the first watch is space was a Sturmanskie, also Seiko is the second oldest watch company in the world after VC?

[@zoostation64]

Another great video. Having a variety of watches from different price segments on the channel is a good move 👍

[@YoureTerrific]

Thanks so much.

[@dillonm4794]

@@YoureTerrific just to echo their point, please keep doing videos across the price spectrum. As they grow in subscribers, many youtubers move up market with their reviews and end up focusing solely on watches in the > $3000 price range or various micro brands that they get paid to review. Which is fine, but misses out on a lot of cool watches. With this true compressor case, this is an example of a cool watch that some other guys wouldn’t ever do, which is a shame.

[@rickyromano6659]

I really like C. Ward. Good designs, cool cases and you get a ton of watch for the money. I really like my C60. A little on the thick side for me for a daily driver, but great weekend watch in my opinion, especially in the summer. Their Moonglow is one of the coolest moon phase watches out there regardless of price point.

[@tsj8762]

[@michaelfierman3256]

I'm so glad you did the review! And since we are heading into summer, perfect timing ( aren't we all rationalizing a new dive watch for the season?) ...That aqua blue turns out to be about as beautiful as I could hope for. Love all the other dial details.

[@YoureTerrific]

Man, I could rationalize a diver in the winter too. I'm just that good.

[@CombatRat]

@@YoureTerrific Do divers even have a season? Isn't that the point of a wet suit--diving in a wide range of temperatures? That is, if we ever took these watches in the water, which we don't.

[@PaddyMcMe]

Best value microbrand in my opinion. And that's a HUGE compliment. The level of design, creativity, craftsmanship, willingness to experiment and overall quality control is tremendous for the price. Then you have their luxury pieces which are frankly mind blowing and represent I think even better value. So with the C60 Apex LE they partnered with Armin Strom to do a skeletonised version of their INHOUSE SH21 movement and they even BLUED the BRIDGES! For only $4300 USD... Lunacy. They only made 100 of them but I'd take one of them over a $30k Omega Sea Master. I really would.

Admired the brand from afar for many years and only recently got to handle their watches. I came away very impressed, especially by this model. You get a lot for your money.

[@cheezeballcity]

I can't find this watch with the strap combination on C. Ward's website. I wish I could just by the strap and add on, but I can't. Love this review and the watch, but will see if this combination comes back before I buy it.

[@UhrensohnGlobal]

To get this clear. If a manufacturer offers a watch for being able to take 30bar, no costumer fools himself if he expect this watch to take a least 50 meters easily or for example a jump of 10 meters height into water which can cause high pressures easily. The only fool is the one who thinks that a watch being a mechanic one is a good excuse to expect nothing. I like to wear expensive watches also in my vacations. I understood that a room safe in a Hotel isn’t a safe option. So I needed a watch that could withstand 30 to 40 meters of free diving. At the same time, I don't need a diving watch for my more or less unambitious free diving. I know my abilities and the possibilities that result from them. So it doesn't necessarily have to be a diving watch, just a very capable sports watch. It was just a matter of not being able to leave my watches lying around in the hotel or on the beach blanket. Even $500 would be too much money to let it be stolen knowingly. „How you people are“ - take a step back and mind your place.

What are people’s experience who order the watches to the USA? I’ve heard that you have to pay a several hundred dollar import fee before lost shippers or customs will release the watch.
