Hello again, my friends!!
Last Tuesday I received the Christopher Ward C9 Moonphase. As some already know, I won £ 1,000 to spend on the web, thanks to #makehisday contest held by Father's Day in the UK.
I had wanted to have a Moonphase and I liked this, but at the PVP (1,800 € approx) always found more interesting options. With the gift of the prize I just had to put £ 320, about 420 €, and for this price .. was clear.
Many told me I should choose a diver, but I left a few pounds without spending. Although I'm more of Dive Watches, I had long wanted to have a dress watch that met certain requirements, such as white, gold accents, 40mm .. and this had everything, including the moonphases. To cap it, I dreamed about it the night before the resolution of the contest, so pretty much I don't even think about it.
Christopher Ward C9 Moonphase
- Case 40 mm x 48 mm x 13.3mm, hand-finished stainless steel (surgical grade).
- Moonphase cetral.
- Sapphire crystal with AR.
- Moon 3D printed, semi-matt galvanized nickel.
- Dial decorated with guilloche.
- Calibre JJ04
- Blue crocodile strap with deployment clasp.
The watch comes in typical branded box, accompanied by a microfiber towel and manual:
The case combines a polished bezel with brushed side, perfectly finished. The claws are curved clock, allowing a perfect fit on the wrist, which along with its 40 mm, make it a very comfortable and very wearable watch.
It is not too thick, but offers a great sense of consistency in the wrist. The glass is flat and very very good antireflection treatment. The crown bears the initials of the brand.
The date is located at 6, accompanying the symmetry around the dial. The needles are Dauphine type, quite long, and gold plated?, as indexes.
The dial is white, type board with the logo of the brand under the barrel of needles and decorated Guilloché . In my opinion, very well finished. Live roughness or texture of the photos is not appreciated.
The caliber is the CW JJ04 base ETA 2836-2 as modified by incorporating a new mechanism of gears and adjustment, by Johannes Jahnke, the watchmaker brand.
- Designed and assembled in Biel, Switzerland.
- Reserve of 38 hours.
- Stop seconds.
- Fast Pass moon in any position without damaging the mechanism.
Johannes Jahnke has achieved Calibre JJ04 with a truly remarkable achievement. A set time, the 'moon' continuously tracks the exact position of the moon, and if it stays in place, should not depart one day every 128 years.
The strap is alligator, blue and electric blue stitching. It is one of the things that I really liked the watch. The deployant is TAG type, the most comfortable there. Combines brushing and polished parts and also includes the logo of the brand.
And finally, the official photo on the wrist and the original photo I submitted to the contest:
Muchas gracias por leer la review y gracias a Christopher Ward por organizar el concurso.
