Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine GMT

The Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine GMT is widely praised for its vintage aesthetic, featuring a "Beach Sand" dial, box sapphire crystal, and a contrasting blue ceramic bezel.

The 41mm case size is considered a positive downsize, and its 200m water resistance, combined with a lightweight and rugged build, makes it a versatile traveler. The date at 6 o'clock is noted for providing balance and elegance. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine GMT highly for its stunning vintage design and versatile, robust build.
