The maestro chronograph, first presented in 2011, plays a melody around a more contemporary chord arrangement this year. On a silver dial, the hours are now depicted by Arabic numerals, leaving place in the center for a refined sunray guilloché decoration.

The chronograph’s counters, located at 3 and 9 o’clock, read off horizontally. The hands, which recall the classic character of the collection, are rose gold plated, matching the hour numerals and the 41mm diameter case. Finally a classic, brown, alligator-style bracelet with an ardillon buckle confers all the letters of nobility upon this fine example of masculine, automatic watchmaking.

Christopher Ward - C1000 Typhoon FGR4 Ceramic
















Christopher Ward - C1000 Typhoon FGR4 Ceramic NEW

Christopher Ward's most technically sophisticated aviation watch is inspired by one of the most advanced military aircraft in the world, the RAF's multi-role combat fighter, the FGR4 Typhoon.

The watch, which is powered by a modified version of ETA's 7750 chronograph movement, is the first in our entire collection to have a high-tech ceramic case, making the C1000 Typhoon light yet virtually indestructible.

Built around a titanium sub-frame for additional strength, the ceramic used is one of the most advanced composites in the world and at seven times stronger than steel, only a diamond will make a mark on the durable and highly scratch-resistant surface.

The charcoal black dial, which uses the font of the Typhoon's Head Up Display (HUD) for the SuperLuminova numerals, carries the RAF's low visibility, baby blue and salmon pink roundel at 6'O'clock, and even the outlines of the chronograph eyes have been subtly indented with the shape of the planes after-burners.

The dramatic delta-wing shape of the aircraft is captured on the counter-balance of the second hand and the distinctive small forward wings, known as canards, at the tip.

The trademark Christopher Ward deep-etched engraving on the reverse captures the plan of the Typhoon perfectly and the ensemble is finished superbly with a high density webbing strap and titanium buckle.

For those of us who dream, the C1000 is as close as we will ever come to being a fighter pilot!
