British watchmaker Christopher Ward has launched two new, limited-edition versions of the C63 Sealander, the C63 SH21 Blue Marine and the C63 SH21 Snow Leopard, the first from the Sealander series to feature CW”™s in-house movement, Calibre SH21, which in turn is the first commercially viable mechanical movement from a British watch company in 50 years. As a result, both watches feature chronometer certification, high-level movement finishing displayed through a sapphire backplate and a five-day power reserve.
”¯The C63 SH21 Blue Marine has been made in collaboration with Blue Marine Foundation (BMF), which Christopher Ward had previously worked with on many occasions ”“ most notably on the C60 Blue, which raised some $246,000 for the charity. Five percent of the sale price of each Blue Marine will go to the BMF to help it tackle the rising levels of plastics found in the oceans.
”¯The C63 SH21 Snow Leopard is a watch made in partnership with the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF). Five percent of the sale price of each Snow Leopard piece will go directly to DSWF to help fund its mission to fight, protect and preserve snow leopard populations across Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan.
Said Mike France, the co-founding CEO of Christopher Ward “Our best-selling watches are inspired by the lands, sea and skies that explorers have dared to venture. At Christopher Ward, we believe it is our duty to have a purpose that transcends making products that customers love. As such, we work in collaboration with and provide donations to environmental charities that seek to preserve the landscapes we and our customers are inspired by.”
