MRSTATELESS CHRISTOPHER WARD, NEW RELEASES, Uncategorized 2026, Diver, seconde/seconde/ 0

Christopher Ward has unveiled the new C60 Pool Diver, the latest collaboration with French artist and watch customizer seconde/seconde/. Marking the fourth partnership between the two brands, the watch transforms the capable C60 Trident Reef diver into a lighthearted summer-themed timepiece packed with vacation-inspired details and humorous design elements.

While the playful aesthetics immediately set it apart, the C60 Pool Diver retains the robust specifications and diving credentials that define Christopher Ward’s modern dive watch collection.

A Summer Vacation Theme Brought to Life

The C60 Pool Diver takes inspiration from poolside holidays, replacing traditional dive-watch functionality cues with references to relaxation and leisure. The most noticeable feature is the ceramic bezel insert, which swaps conventional diving scale markings for a schedule of typical vacation activities.

The dial continues the theme with several subtle details developed by seconde/seconde/. One of the most distinctive elements is the date display, which appears through a Martini-glass-shaped aperture, reinforcing the watch’s carefree summer character.

Additional themed touches extend throughout the watch, including the helium escape valve, which features a playful graphic treatment. The caseback also receives a unique engraving depicting a diver equipped with flip-flops and a sunscreen dispenser rather than traditional diving gear, accompanied by the humorous message: “Please, don’t drink and dive.”

Proven C60 Trident Reef Architecture

Beneath its playful exterior, the C60 Pool Diver is built on the same platform as the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef.

The stainless steel case measures 41 mm in diameter, with a lug-to-lug length of 47.90 mm and a thickness of 11.50 mm. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while a screw-down crown helps ensure a water resistance rating of 200 meters. The watch also features a helium escape valve, a characteristic usually associated with professional dive watches.

Despite its humorous design, the C60 Pool Diver remains a fully capable sports watch, offering the durability and water resistance expected from Christopher Ward’s dive watch collection.

Sellita Automatic Movement

Powering the C60 Pool Diver is the Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement in Elaboré grade.

The Swiss-made caliber operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) and provides approximately 38 hours of power reserve. Christopher Ward specifies an accuracy range of ±20 seconds per day. The movement has become one of the industry’s most widely used automatic calibers thanks to its proven reliability, ease of maintenance, and dependable performance in everyday use.

Strap and Bracelet Options

To complement the watch’s summer-focused aesthetic, Christopher Ward offers the C60 Pool Diver on three Aquaflex rubber strap options in orange, white, or light blue. Buyers can also choose the brand’s three-link Bader stainless steel bracelet, providing a more versatile and sporty appearance.

Availability and Price

Unlike many special editions, the Christopher Ward C60 Pool Diver is not limited by a fixed production number. Instead, availability is restricted to an ordering window running from June 11 to June 24, 2026.

The watch is priced at € 1,175 on any of the Aquaflex rubber straps, while the version fitted with the Bader stainless steel bracelet costs € 1,385. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in mid-July, making it a timely release for the summer holiday season.
