Most impressive, especially considering the price, is the Sellita caliber SW300-1 movement. The esteemed Swiss movement manufacturer creates different levels of most movements, and Christopher Ward splurged on the highest grade of the SW300-1, which is the only one that comes with a COCS certification.
Few watch companies are more generous to their fans than Christopher Ward, and this limited edition Trident Lumière, with only 300 pieces, is a real gift to them and to dive watches in general.
It amplifies the performance of an already extreme performing dive watch while still maintaining the classic mid-century aesthetic that fans of the aquatic category adore. The relatively minimal production run means it will surely become highly coveted on the resale market in the not-so-distant future.
Availability and pricing
The Christopher Ward Trident Luminère in Submarine Yellow is now available for preorder. It costs $2,390 on a titanium bracelet and $2,015 on a rubber strap with a folding clasp.
With the extremely limited production run of 300 pieces, which the brand cheekily claims is a mistake, this watch will likely sell out before the presale wraps up at the end of June.
