Another new edition from Christopher Ward, this is the C700 Grand Rapide Chronograph.  And in their own words -

Christopher Ward’s brand new C700 Grand Rapide Chronograph features a carbon fibre dial – made from the same extraordinary material used in the aerospace industry, the military and Formula 1.  Nothing about the watch is a compromise; every aspect of the design has been driven by the desire to create the ultimate motorsport watch.  The C700 has been created for people who prefer to make the most of every second and observe their rivals in their rear-view mirror. 

There is a choice of a stainless steel bracelet, a leather strap or a rubber strap, which mirrors the dial with its polished chequered flag design. The C700 has a 30 minute and 12 hour counter as well as a 60 second chronograph, which has a circular guilloche pattern at its heart and is inspired by a rev counter – continuing the motorsport theme.

The C700 also has a sapphire crystal exhibition back providing a clear view of the elabore version of the Swiss Made Sellita SW500 automatic movement – which is a mechanical work of art in itself.
