Christopher Ward's answer, with the C65, is a clear no — and the blue hand-wound version is the most convincing expression of that argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand-wound movement is the choice that sets this configuration apart from the later automatic variants. In the mid-1960s, virtually every serious dive watch ran on a hand-wound calibre — automatic movements in the configuration that modern wearers expect simply weren't standard on diver's watches yet. By specifying the Sellita SW210-1 in this reference, Christopher Ward isn't making a compromise: they are making a deliberate fidelity call, and it gives the watch a character that the automatic versions, for all their convenience, cannot replicate. The winding ritual is part of the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matte blue dial with its baton hour markers is a faithful interpretation of 1960s dial design — clean, instrument-like, and deliberately uncluttered. The Old Radium Super-LumiNova on the markers and hands charges quickly and reads clearly in low light with a warm cream-green glow that is instantly recognisable as period-correct. The box sapphire crystal — slightly domed, with a blue AR coating on the underside — gives the dial a depth and warmth that flat crystals never achieve, and is one of the defining visual details of the C65 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushed and polished 41mm stainless steel case measures just 11.55mm thick and 47mm lug-to-lug — figures that produce a watch that wears significantly smaller than its case diameter suggests. The unidirectional 120-click bezel with its aluminium blue insert and the solid Trident-stamped caseback complete a watch that is both thoroughly considered and genuinely characterful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1409\" data-start=\"1159\"\u003eWHAT'S INSIDE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe S65-41H3H1-S0BB0 is powered by the Sellita SW210-1 — a hand-wound Swiss movement of 17 jewels, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of 42 hours. The SW210-1 shares much of its architecture with the SW200-1 automatic but strips away the rotor, resulting in a movement just 3.35mm thin — directly contributing to the C65 Diver's remarkable 11.55mm case height for a 150-metre-rated dive watch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFIVEFORTYFIVE SIX MONTHS \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWARRANTY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Ward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595882062097,"sku":"24449","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/5332\/7960\/files\/Christopher-Ward-2019-C65-Trident-Diver-Blue244491-8.jpg?v=1780462008","url":"https:\/\/fivefortyfive.nz\/products\/christopher-ward-2019-c65-trident-diver-blue-dial","provider":"FiveFortyFive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
