C3 Grand Tourer
C3 Grand Tourer
With the C3 Grand Tourer, Christopher Ward
has come full circle.
Launched alongside Christopher Ward back in 2005,
the C3 Malvern Chronograph was a dress watch
with a distinctly sporty aesthetic – one inuenced by
the vintage Aston Martin dashboards co-founders
Chris Ward and Mike France observed when designing
the company’s rst chronograph. As one of our rst
releases, it also served a loftier purpose by introducing
the world to our commitment of bringing premium
watches to as wide an audience as possible.
The C3 Grand Tourer revisits the original C3’s
automotive cues, and then builds upon them
with an experience and assurance gained over the
years since we launched our rst chronograph.
Despite introducing a premium-level case design
and the piston-inspired pushers introduced in its
Mk III successor, the Grand Tourer remains true to
that original ethos of providing the best possible
value at this level.
The detail alone present on the dial achieves this aim.
Available in two eye-catching nishes – one a silver-
white with azzuré sub-dial details, the other a vintage
blue complemented by silver-white sub-dials and
Old Radium SuperLumiNova numerals – applied Arabic
numerals and dot markers add depth, with a printed
tachymeter and minute markers ensure legibility and
practicality.
When you factor in the C3 shares a case design with
our premium Grand Malvern dress collection, you
gain further understanding of our no-stone-unturned
approach to creating a watch that, like any vintage
sportscar, emanates a quiet, head-turning condence.
Not everybody has the opportunity to own a coupé
from the 1950s – but the C3 Grand Tourer may just be
the next best thing.

How to operate your C3 Grand Tourer
Setting the time and date
The crown should sit ush to the case (position
1
)
in order to maintain water resistance.
• For rapid date correction pull gently into
position
2
and turn in a clockwise direction.
• 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

.
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.

Straps and bracelets
As you would expect, we place as much
emphasis on the quality of our straps and
bracelets as we do our watches. We only use
the nest leathers for our straps. Similarly, we
only use the nest metals in the construction
of our bracelets, all of which are precision
engineered for durability, eciency and comfort.
The following guidelines explain how easy
it is to use and adjust your Christopher Ward
strap or bracelet.
Using the quick-release pins on your strap
1. Locate the quick-
release pin on your
strap. Pull the pin
to the side to detach
your strap.
2. To reattach your
strap, align the pins
to the lug holes and
click the strap into
position. Repeat for
the other side.
