Christopher Ward C40 Speedhawk Automatic Chronograph #0001

The C40 was the first Christopher Ward watch to use the famous ETA 7750 Valjoux movement - the same as can be found inside many premium watch brands such as Breitling, TAG Heuer, Panerai, Omega, IWC etc. etc.

Christopher Ward use it in two of their their current models:

C60 Trident Chronograph Pro 600 which is available from £1,530 here: https://www.christopherward.co.uk/watches/dive/c60-trident-pro-chronograph-600

C1000 Typhoon FGR4 which is £1,095 here: https://www.christopherward.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=C1000

I bought this watch at a Christopher Ward charity auction in 2015 where Chris auctioned off a batch of 'Numbers 1s' from his own personal collection, giving a portion of the proceeds to charity.

It's not really a watch that I'm mega keen to sell, in fact I'll be sad if someone does buy it, but I have two of them (so this one never gets worn) and I also have my eye on a major purchase, so this is one of a few watches that I'm putting up for sale at a price I think reflects the uniqueness and collectability. If it doesn't sell, there will be no tears from me as I love owning it and it looks great in my "special CWs case"!

The watch is in brand new condition and has a CW movement warranty valid until July 2020.

Note the first five pictures are library shots. The rest show the actual watch.

Comes with all paperwork including the auction card signed by Chris.
