MOST DIVER’S WATCHES AREN’T EVEN SUBJECTED TO


A WARM WATER RINSE IN THE SHOWER. BUT CW FORUM MEMBER NICOLAS THIULLEUX HAS PUT HIS FOUR CHRISTOPHER WARD MODELS THROUGH THE MOST RIGOROUS SUBMARINE TESTS TO CONFIRM THAT THEIR PERFORMANCE IS JUST AS GOOD AS THEIR LOOKS.


I


n the clear waters of the Red Sea, the vivid blue face of the C600 Tri-Tech Diver Elite watch looks as if it was grafted from the scales of one of the extraordinary fish that lazily meander by. Framed by the black case and the black rubber strap, the blue has an almost ethereal, unreal quality. It looks superb and its look is matched by its accuracy and reliability. Who says? None other than Frenchman Nicolas Thuilleux, who started diving when he was 15 years old and, 26 years later, completes 40 to 50 dives every year, at weekends, on holidays, at any time in fact. “The colour of the


C600 IPB is just incredible. I have never seen anything like it,” he enthuses. “It seems to glow in the dark. I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to see it in the water, but in fact it is very easy to read – and very accurate. This watch has so many incredible qualities. It’s well made, the rubber strap is well made and I love the black case colour. Actually I love everything about this watch and often wear it when I am not diving.” This is high praise indeed from a man who


owns about 50 – yes 5-0 – diver’s watches as well as about 10 other collectable timepieces. He gave the C600 its inaugural test on a dive
