      Two…I have two (well 3 but my son wears one) but I’ve owned 6. Value for money here is unmatched and the new-ish clasp micro adjust is better than any of my Rolex’s. Then again those are mostly 4 or 5 digits and not exactly modern….Thank God.

COSC certified, 38 grams and it has my preferred version of their logo. Placing an order now. Thanks Russell for this review.

    Christopher ward broke my heart. Bought the super compressor to celebrate my son's birth. Watch was misaligned and running really slow. Sent back and waited 4 months for repair. When I received it back, I'd completely fallen out of love with it.

    Another club member here. I have the C65 Super Compressor. A genuine compressor; old fashioned technology in an automatic watch. Both totally unnecessary in this modern world but it makes me love it even more. It’s a beauty. The blue, orange and white absolutely sing on a sunny day. Wonderful watch.

    Great video Russ. I have two CW’s, their very first Malvern C5 from 2005 and a C7 Le Mans. CW have been through a few logo changes to reduce the busyness of the full name on the dial I guess.I quite like the new ‘jigsaw’ one as it cleverly represents the English flag (cross of St George) and the Swiss flag (white cross) as CW’s are designed in England and made in Switzerland, mostly with Swiss movements. Now you know

    CW is a great brand. They design watches with the customer's requests in mind. I bought a 300 Trident as my first CW and was instantly blown away by the features/spec of the watch. My latest purchase is the stunningly beautiful "Twelve". Such a handsome watch and the only watch in my collection that has been commented on repeatedly in conversations.

    I really admire Christopher Ward. They offer such fantastic value for money. I’d very happily have any of these three military inspired beauties but the C63 Colchester really caught my eye. It’s probably too modern looking for me but forged carbon case and dial really appeals to me.
    Awesome look at a great company MWC!

    I've got the Dartmouth on the metal strap (less blue!), and it's so lovely. I really love the lume, but it does trip itself up a bit as, at a certain point, the loom seems to fade to a point where it can be difficult to make out the hands from the face, but that's only when I'm not wearing my reading glasses, and I forgive it because it's so beautiful and comfortable.
