Christopher Ward C8 PILOT Manuale utente

Time on your side...

Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed and engineered by highly talented craftspeople to

ensure not only accurate and precise timekeeping but also to bring a real pride of ownership that

only luxury items of the highest quality can ever hope to deliver.

You have made an investment, a good one, and the aim of this handbook is to help you make the

most of that investment during what I hope will be a lifetime of ownership.

Should you need a replacement part - don’t worry, we keep stocks of spare parts for years, even for

discontinued models. It’s all part of the Christopher Ward service.

Finally, don’t forget our famous 60:60 Guarantee allows you to return your watch absolutely free,

for any reason, and with no quibbles, for up to 60 days after purchase and we also guarantee your

movement for up to 60 months.

After all, why shouldn’t you enjoy peace of mind as much as you enjoy your watch?

Caring for your Christopher Ward automatic watch

Your C8 Pilot is constructed from the finest components and materials available including one of

Switzerland’s finest automatic movements. As with all mechanical watches of this quality, with just a

little care, it has the potential to become an heirloom piece giving further joy to future generations.

Here are a few hints to help keep your watch working perfectly over the years:

• Neverfullywindyourwatchifitstops,5-10revolutionsshouldsufficetohaveitrestart.

• Tryandwearyourwatcheveryday,ifpossible,asthiswillbothenableittokeepbettertime

as well as preventing the lubricants in the movement from solidifying.

• YourwatchisfittedwiththefinestIncablocanti-shocksystemwhichshouldprotectitif

dropped onto a carpeted surface. However, it is best to avoid hard surfaces or sharp knocks.

You may not want to wear your watch whilst playing racquet sports, for instance.

2 to 7 years! A modern mechanical watch like yours shouldn’t need servicing more than every 4

years but we wouldn’t recommend leaving it longer than this as, just like a car, the oil needs

topping up from time to time.

About automatic accuracy

If you are new to automatic watches you may not be aware that generally speaking automatic

watches are not as accurate as their quartz counterparts. Whilst it is possible to fine tune an

automatic watch to within a few seconds per day, the accuracy is largely dependent upon the power

reserve in the watch at any given time. As you will appreciate the power reserve is dictated

largely by the amount of wear and the amount of movement given to each individual watch.

When you first receive your watch it is quite possible that the balance may have been upset during

its’ journey to you, and then may require a settling down period of a few days or so. After a few

weeks of wear you should be in a position to determine how your wearing habits affect the accuracy

ofthewatchandwhetheritiswithinthetolerancesspecifiedbyETAandCWLonpage5ofthis

Setting the time/date

Position is for winding in power. Wind in a

clockwise direction to re-power the watch.

Pull gently into position . For rapid date

correction, turn in a clockwise direction.

Pull gently into position . This position is

used for handsetting, and stopping of the second

hand. For precise time setting it is recommended

to pass beyond the desired minute and to set the

hand backwards.

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.
