The Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow (ref. C12-41A5D1-SD0K0-B0) is an automatic skeleton watch, with a 40mm stainless steel case, 12.3mm thick, powered by the CW-001 movement and a 120-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 100m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $6,275.
Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow's impressive finishing for its price point and the quality of its bracelet. Some owners, however, feel the $4,865 price is high for the brand, while others argue it offers strong specifications for the money. Reviewers note the skeletonized COSC-certified SH21 movement provides a 120-hour power reserve, but legibility suffers due to the skeletonization and the watch's increased thickness is noticeable. One owner reported sharp edges on bracelet links and unfinished clasp surfaces, leading to a return, despite finding the case and dial appealing. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow highly for its finishing and value, with the skeletonized movement being a key draw.
