What to know

The C63 True GMT moves Christopher Ward’s Sealander into Atelier territory with the brand’s new CW-002 automatic calibre. Developed from the twin-barrel CW-001 architecture, it adds an independently adjustable local-hour hand that can move forward or backward while the date follows, leaving the home-time hand undisturbed. A dial-side aperture exposes the hand-finished GMT bridge beside small seconds and a power-reserve indicator.

Its steel Light-catcher case is 40.5mm wide, 14.15mm thick and water-resistant to 100 metres, with box-domed sapphire crystals front and back. CW-002 runs at 4Hz, carries 33 jewels, delivers 120 hours of reserve and is COSC certified to −4/+6 seconds per day. The white-dial bracelet configuration is listed at €3,905.
