C1 Morgan Plus 8 Limited Edition
C1 Morgan Plus 8 Limited Edition
Fifty watches would be made; one to be supplied
with each car. The Plus 8’s 50th anniversary no
doubt deserved a special approach: what if we could
create a watch that wasn’t merely inspired by a car,
but also had a hand in inuencing the design of
these fty Plus 8s too?
The result – devised between CW’s Head of Product
Adrian Buchmann and Jon Wells, Morgan’s Head of
Design – is that the C1 Morgan Plus 8 Chronometer’s
dial is based upon the Plus 8’s dashboard, and vice
versa. It’s a truly innovative approach that ensures
a singular vision between watch and car, in turn
making you, the owner of a 50th anniversary Plus 8,
the custodian of 50 years of Plus 8 history.
First of all, congratulations on becoming
the owner of your Morgan Plus 8 50th
Anniversary Edition car.
Supplied with it is this limited edition watch,
designed in Britain and built with the utmost care
in Switzerland. Between a section of ‘MMC 11’,
the Plus 8’s 1968 prototype, visible in its backplate,
and our in-house movement, Calibre SH21, you are
the owner of a watch whose provenance is already
assured. And that is only one part of its story…
When our automotive partners, the Morgan Motor
Company, announced that they would be producing
fty Plus 8s to celebrate a half century of their
famous roadster, minds started to come together
between our respective headquarters in Maidenhead
and Malvern over how to mark the occasion.

How to operate your C1 Morgan Plus 8 Limited Edition
• Position
1
is for winding in power. Wind in
a clockwise direction to re-power the watch.
Your C1 Morgan Plus 8 Chronometer has a
maximum power reserve of 120 hours when
fully wound.
• For rapid date correction pull gently into position
2
and turn in an anti-clockwise direction.
PLEASE NOTE: Date correction should not be
carried out between 20.00 hr and 02.00 hr
as the watch gearing will already be aligning
itself to change the date. The crown should
always be pushed in after adjustment,
and it is best to do so from position 3 to avoid
advancing beyond the desired date. Take care
not to overwind the crown past the point of
resistance as it will damage the movement.
• For setting the time pull gently into position
3
and turn clockwise to advance the time.
For precise time setting it is recommended to
pass beyond the desired minute and to set the
hand backwards.
• Push the crown back to position
1
. The crown
should sit ush to the case in order to maintain
water resistance.

Water resistance
Although your watch has been through vigorous
static pressure testing, it is worth remembering that
there are many variables that can aect the water
resistance of your watch.
For instance, arm movements during swimming
and the sudden impact of diving and water sports
will drastically increase the pressure the watch is
under. Wearing your watch in the bath, shower, or
sauna can also have an eect as a rapid increase
in temperature can cause seals to expand and in
extreme cases, malfunction or create condensation.
For these reasons, the water resistance rating of your
watch (as shown) should only ever be considered
a guideline and we strongly recommend they are
always adhered to.
1 ATM (10 metres)
Safe to wear your watch while
washing your hands with tap water.
3 ATM (30 metres)
Washing your car and/or
general hose pipe usage.
5 ATM (50 metres)
Water resistant to most
household shower units.
15 ATM (150 metres)
Safe to use while snorkelling
in open water.
30 ATM (300 metres)
Ideal for experienced divers and
those practising scuba-diving.
60 ATM (600 metres)
Professional divers, experiencing
prolonged exposure underwater.
100 ATM (1000 metres)
