Christopher Ward C70 DBR1 Chronograph Limited Edition - one of 500 made.

Most Christopher Ward collectors consider the C70 DBR1 a 'must have' watch, making it a very desirable and collectable Limited Edition watch. They don't come up for sale very often and hardly ever appear in this good condition.

Released and quickly selling out in 2010, the C70 DBR1 pays homage to Aston Martin’s 1959 Le Mans winning DBR1. As CW put it: "The strikingly designed quartz-powered watch is a multifunction three-eye chronograph powered by the superlative ETA 251.272 movement. It also has a date window, a tachymeter bezel and is water resistant to 10atm. DBR is an acronym for David Brown Racing. Brown bought Aston Martin in 1947 when the luxury carmaker was already an iconic brand in motor racing. He went on to build on the racing heritage. The DBR1 took first and second place in Le Mans in 1959, as well as winning the world Sports Car Championship in that year."

The watch has been worn occasionally and is in fantastic condition. I can't see any obvious marks on the head, but you're bound to find the evidence of having been worn under magnified inspection. There are a couple of marks on the butterfly clasp on the strap.

Supplied in deluxe wooden CW case with correct green internals and engraved C70 DBR1 badge. Also includes the original User Manual.
