Watch Description
How do you improve on an icon like the C60 Trident Pro 600?
You don’t. At least not yet.
Instead, you talk to the people who know your brand most – in this case, the Christopher Ward Forum – and ask them what they’d like to see in their ideal dive watch.
The result of this consultation is the stunning new C60 Trident Pro 300.
A diving instrument that takes the Trident template and remixes it into a watch that’s so wearable you’ll never want to take it off. A watch that’s up to 1.9mm slimmer than its Pro 600 cousin (depending on case size), yet still delivers 300m of water resistance.
Everything about the C60 Trident Pro 300 is made for daily wear: smart enough for the office, rugged enough to accompany you on the deepest of dives. Its unidirectional bezel boasts a rotating outer section with coloured ceramic insert, and a fixed steel inner ring, with minute increments all the way around.
The dial’s larger indexes deliver increased luminosity while the new twin-flags logo at 12 o’clock balances the date wheel at 6. The handset has been upgraded, too: a precision-engineered arrow-head seconds hand, influenced by the ambitious C60 Concept, replaces the standard Trident design.
Flexibility is everything: the watch comes in three case sizes – 38, 40 and 42mm – and four colours: black, blue or white dial options from the Pro 600 line, plus a military-inspired olive-green choice.
Another upgrade is the marine-grade steel bracelet which has an increased taper of 16.5mm at the clasp, extended micro-adjustment and an enhanced quick-release system – it also has screw links rather than pins. And if you don’t like to wear a bracelet, the watch is also available on a selection of straps.
Finally, power is courtesy of Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, which you can see in all its highly finished glory – check the ‘Christopher Ward’ engraving on the rotor – by turning the watch over and looking through the transparent exhibition case back.

# Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 is a robust modern dive watch blending professional 300m water resistance with a refined tool-watch aesthetic, featuring a stainless steel case, ceramic bezel, and luminous markers for excellent legibility; it targets value-driven enthusiasts seeking high-spec divers without luxury pricing, powered by the reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement offering a 38-hour power reserve.
## Overall Watch Rating: 7.1/10.0
**Material Metric (9.2/10.0)** - Exceptional use of 316L stainless steel, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and ceramic bezel elevates it to near-haute levels, rivaling Omega Seamaster materials at a fraction of the cost.
**Dials & Design Metric (8.8/10.0)** - The clean dive layout with Super-LumiNova indices and ceramic bezel insert delivers sharp, functional style akin to a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms but more accessible.
**Versatility Metric (8.6/10.0)** - Highly adaptable from underwater adventures to daily casual wear thanks to its 42mm sizing, robust build, and bracelet option, outpacing many single-purpose tool watches.
**Cohesiveness Metric (9.5/10.0)** - As a standalone piece, it exemplifies perfect harmony in form, function, and brand ethos, much like a well-executed Seiko Prospex icon.
**Brand Metric (6.5/10.0)** - Christopher Ward holds strong high-premium status as a UK boutique maker with enthusiast appeal and limited production runs, on par with Sinn's reliable reputation.
**History & Innovation Metric (6.5/10.0)** - Building on the storied Trident line since 2004 with innovations like affordable ceramic bezels, it matches the established legacy of Oris divers.
**Movement Metric (7.3/10.0)** - The Sellita SW200-1 Elaboré provides solid automatic performance with 28,800 vph and 26 jewels, comparable to ETA 2824 clones in mid-tier Tudors.
**Functions Metric (6.5/10.0)** - Core timekeeping with date and dive bezel offers practical utility similar to entry-level Rolex Submariners, without excess.
**Complications Metric (4.0/10.0)** - Simple date window delivers basic added utility, on level with standard Seiko divers rather than complex chronographs.
**Rarity Metric (4.5/10.0)** - Moderate exclusivity from its $1,200 price and boutique production positions it between mass-market divers and limited editions like Tudor Pelagos.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.0
## WM Collector Grade: B
## Performance Insights: Excels in materials, design, and versatility for everyday tool-watch duties while offering strong value well above its implied price equivalent of $850.
## TPS Interpretation: Good Value: The watch overdelivers on build quality and dive functionality relative to its accessible price point.
