Christopher Ward C7 Rapide Mk3 Auto (02/2020) (WH381)

Description: CHRISTOPHER WARD C7 RAPIDE AUTOMATICIntroduction With the exception of a few military specials, the Christopher Ward C7 (and C70) range has always been home to their sport/motorsport inspired watches. The C7 Rapide first arrived in 2008 as a quartz chronograph and that battery chrono theme continued with the launch of the Mk2 in 2012, which was essentially a Mk1 case with some new face designs. It wasn’t until 2017, when the C7 Rapide range got a complete overhaul, that an automatic movement became available in a C7 for the first time. The watch for sale in this listing is one of those ‘Mk3’ C7 autos - although CW never officially called it the Mk3. Apart from the name and the fact that it’s a 42mm watch, the Mk3 (2017-on) C7 Rapide range has very little in common with the previous C7 models. The standout feature of the automatic watch has to be the multi-part case construction with its contrasting case/ring colours and its hollowed out lugs. Both those made it a pretty expensive watch to manufacture and pretty unique to look at. I’m a huge fan of this design, the applied indices and textured dial means that it is an absolute winner for me - such a shame that they discontinued it.Condition It looks unworn. The bezel often gets marked up, but this one is perfect. It’s running at +8spd on the timegrapher, so keeping decent time. Comes complete with box, manual, cleaning cloth and warranty card.Strap options It comes on a CW blue hybrid strap which is also in unworn condition. If you’d rather, I’ll swap it out for either a CW black hybrid or brown vintage oak leather strap at no cost difference, or do it head only for a discount of £40.Warranty It comes with the CW transferable warranty to February 2025. Specs: Diameter: 42mm Height: 11.15mm Calibre: Sellita SW200 Water resistance: 10ATM (100m) Strap lugs: 22mm Lug-to-lug: 48mm Final Notes: Note the first pic is a library shot. The rest show the actual watch and package.
