C65 Dartmouth Series 1
Gaze upon the C65 Dartmouth and you’ll sense a depth of nautical
history owing through it.
CW’s rst watch carrying the Naval crown insignia of the Royal Navy
that can be sold to the general public – a feature made possible
thanks to an ocial licence from the UK’s Ministry of Defence – the
C65 takes its name from Britannia Royal Naval College based in the
South Devon town of Dartmouth.
Yet those with a keen horological eye may well recognise some of the
C65’s distinguishing ourishes from elsewhere. Inspired by the Omega
Seamaster 300 ‘Big Triangle’ – initially known as the Royal Navy 0552,
a Ministry of Defence-approved piece that saw the rst appearance
of the popular inverted triangle later exported to civilian versions –
the Dartmouth features an inverted ‘wedge’ and tapering indexes
at 12 o’clock; all have been lled with white T-C1 or Old Radium
Super-LumiNova®for excellent legibility.
As the ‘Big Triangle’ entered service in 1967, it’s apt the Dartmouth
sits within the C65 family, a collection that combines lithe ‘60s dive
visuals with today’s engineering prowess. Powered by a chronometer-
certied movement, the C65 is accurate to just seconds per day –
but what else would you expect from a watch bearing the crown of
the United Kingdom’s Naval Service?

The crown should sit ush to the case (position 1) in order to
maintain water resistance.
• To re-power the watch after a period of non-use, simply wind
the crown in a clockwise direction. Your C65 Dartmouth Series 1
has a maximum power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound.
Normal wearing will allow the rotor to start re-powering the
watch over time after putting on your wrist.
• Pull gently into position 2. This position is used for handsetting
and stopping of the second hand. For precise time setting
it is recommended to pass beyond the desired minute and to
set the hand backwards.

Straps and bracelets
As you would expect, we place as much
emphasis on the quality of our straps and
bracelets as we do our watches. We only
use the nest materials in our straps,
with quick-release pins also included for
your convenience.
The following guidelines explain how easy
it is to use, adjust and replace your
Christopher Ward strap or bracelet.

on your strap (A) or bracelet (B).
Pull the pin(s) inwards to detach.
2. To reattach your strap (C) or bracelet (D),

Water resistance
Although your watch has been through vigorous static pressure
testing, it is worth remembering that there are many variables that
can aect the water resistance of your watch. For instance, arm
movements during swimming and the sudden impact of diving
and water sports will drastically increase the pressure the watch
is under.
Wearing your watch in the bath, shower, or sauna can also have
an eect as a rapid increase in temperature can cause seals to
expand and in extreme cases, malfunction or create condensation.
For these reasons, the water resistance rating of your watch
(as shown) should only ever be considered a guideline and we
strongly recommend they are always adhered to.
