Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase 40 for its stunning aventurine dial and prominent, lumed moon, with one owner calling it a 10/10 for moon display. However, the lack of dial indices and lumed hands makes time-telling difficult, and the seconds hand is considered largely meaningless for precise tracking. Accuracy averages +2.3 seconds per day with a 38-hour power reserve. On balance, owners view the Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase 40 as a showpiece dress watch for occasional wear, rather than a tool for precise timekeeping, due to its striking dial and moon complication.
The Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase 40 (ref. C01-40AMP2-S00B0-MB1) is an automatic watch, with a 40mm stainless steel case, 13.3mm thick, powered by the SW220-1 movement and a 38-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 30m, under a sapphire crystal, with moonphase complications. Manufacturer MSRP is $2,850. The dial color is blue.
